I would like to buy a nice pair of over ear headphones. I listen to a lot of top 40 music and would use them for gaming. I would like something that doesn't have too much sound leakage and noise cancellation if possible. I liked the build of the Beats Executives, but hate the flimsy plastic build of the studios. I have heard many times how beats are overpriced. I would only like to pay up to $300, I would also like to try them before I buy them. I live in downtown Chicago so if you know any good stores there I should visit let me know.
