Yet Another Which Headphones Should I Buy Thread :p (Gaming/Music/TV)

Hey Everyone, long time browser here  :)

So I'm looking to buy myself a set of headphones after moving my main sound system around to work better with my tv it is now completly out of place in relation to my PC which isn't ideal for music or gaming or well anything, was hoping I could get some recommendations from people who know a lot more on this topic then me. 

really I'm looking for a good all rounder but I expect that is hard to find so the most important aspect in buying some is for music, closely followed by gaming then not so importantly TV and movies etc

my budget firstly is around £125 which is about $200 for Americans :), after researching though it looks like its nearly a 1:1 ratio price wise :(, my music tastes are fairly wide, mostly listen to Metal (nearly every sub genre but a lot of power metal and thrash quite a bit  death and black but listen to many others fairly often too :p), I also listen to loads and loads of rock , a lot of 80's glam rock, hair metal, a lot of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple that kind of earlier stuff as well as Meat Loaf and pop rock and lots of hard rock and alternative and grunge , basically a wide taste in rock :p, those two are probs what I mainly listen to but I still listen to a lot of other music, including ska, reggae, punk, pop music, a tiny bit of rap and other music, and nearly no classical though I listen to a lot of symphonic metal so  a set that could handle it would be quite nice, I prefer to have more bass then not enough, and really I probs like more bass then is ideal, I like that kind of punchy thumpy bass that you can actually feel during a bass guitar or a drum solo so yeah quite a lot of bass I guess :p, I do like a detailed sound though for power metal and rock so a bass that doesn't smear all over everything is quite important, listening to power metal when it is just muddy isn't nice, I like a somewhat true to source sound but really prefer more a sound then is fun/nice and good to listen to as well

I will also use them quite a lot for gaming and tv/movies and everything else so anything that could do a somewhat decent job with those would be good.

haha sorry this is beginning to sound like I'm trying to buy a set that is perfect for everything :p

oh and I would prefer closed rather then open if I happen to be in a noisy enviroment and situations like that

anything else I should mention/you need?

thanks for any advice anyone :)

Very best,

thanks a lot for your reply :D

I checked out the Fischer Audio set, they seem to be very very hard to get here in the UK, however I have heard people say the Brainwavz HM3's were basically rebranded FA-002W's, don't know if thats true?, 

checked the DT770 PRO and it seems they are pretty hard to drive?, as I will be using a PMP at times and won't be able to buy a amp this would be pretty bad for me, still looking at users opinions on these though.

I won't be able to get a pair of A900x's :p, already looked into it, they are some on ebay but they are quite a lot over my ideal budget, how do the a900's compare though?, or the a700's or the m50's even ideally taking into account what I would use them for, feedback on this would be awesome  :

still looking into the Ultrasone PRO 650 which are sounding good so far but any thoughts from people on them here would be great :), slightly over my budget but if they are worth paying a bit extra then I might


and the Denon D2000's are a no go :(, even used they are nearly double my budget

thanks for the reply again :D

more advice is of course appreciated from anyone :p


edit: agh I'm sorry!, I just saw this thread

I looked through the first 10 pages or so of this sub-forum and performed a search and stupidly managed to miss it :(, should I leave this thread to die and move my question there?

sorry everyone :s
