HighQuality/Studio Headphones for price range 100-200$

For the past 3 months I've been borrowing my friend's M50s for music and now I've been thinking of buying my own headphones. I"m searching for Headphones that have good sound all-round with a good amount of bass (on the headphones I get, I do a 'bass test' where basically some songs that have good bass lines and I see if I can hear. it..) that can be heard with good isolation, comfort, ect.. Since I've been using the M50s I've been leaning towards that but I"m just wondering if there are any good, High quality headphones for these genres: Heavy Metal (black,Death,Folk,Thrash ect [most, if not, all genres]), Rock (Progressive, Classic, Hard, Post-Rock, Shoegaze), Classical, Jpop, Industrial, Folk (Celtic, Neofolk, Accoustic, Medieval) and some Movie Soundtracks. Most, if not all of the music I have is 320kbps, VBR or FLAC.

 

I handle the Studio and , mixing for my band-in-progress so they also need to be good in-studio

 

I also have a price range from 100$-200$. Should I stick with the the M50s or should I get something like a Sony or the sr60i?

You can try SRH840.

If the isolation is not important for you, I mean if you have a vocal booth or control room in your studio and you're going to use the hps only for mixing and mastering the K702 will bring the best result in terms of sound separation sound stage and sound extension in both directions. But to drive the K-702 to the top, or close to the top you'll need hps amp, or a good sound card that can drive well the K-702.

I would like some Isolation because I most definatly use it for listening to music, along with sound studio stuff. I don't have like a professional record studio, just my basement but yeah, some isolation will be nice as my neighborhood gets really noisy, even at night

If you don't mind waiting, check out the Brainwavz HM5 from mp4nation. They look to be identical to the Fischer Audio FA-003. From everything I've read, they sound fantastic and are very neutral. Last I checked, you could pre-order them for $120. That probably makes them a better buy than any other neutral/studio/monitoring headphones in that price range.
