Posting here one more time before I decide.

I used to have a pair of Hyperx Cloud 2s, which at first sounded amazing, but as I got adjusted, started sounding "eh." I plan on buying a Modmic/V-MODA mic, so no headset needed.
Comfort and sound matter most, style is irrelevant. Will be used for gaming (Mostly casual, some minor competitive, so "decent" sound positioning is required, but great immersive capability for games like ARMA/BF1 is needed, I want to feel the fear/excitement/action), movies, general usage (Skype, YouTube, etc).
I've finally decided on what kind of signature I want, but no idea if it has a term. I love bass, so I want very good, tight, powerful, bass, and I'd love a little bit extra of bass. The only problem, is I DON'T want it to ruin the mids or highs, ESPECIALLY the mids, because I do mostly listen to music where mids are very important, and highs are important to a level.I listen to Pop, Rap, Indie, Electro, Alternative, and a lot of Rock/Heavy Metal. I'd prefer something that works for everything from Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran and The Chainsmokers, to K.Flay, to Eminem and Tech N9ne, to The Ghost Inside and Thy Art is Murder.
Cans I've been recommended but ruled out: Beyer Custom One Pros, Soundmagic HP150s (I've heard good things on the sound, but bad things on build quality/customer service, and I'm left spooked.) I'm leaning away from DT770s because I've heard they're not great for mids.
Thank you in advance for any help!
