I'm planning on buying my first set of quality headphones after predominantly having used cheap headsets, so I have no audiophile experience whatsoever. Thanks for helping me out.
Headphones I've looked at so far: Mind you, I have a big head so I'm keen on comfy headphones so I don't get headaches quickly.
ath m50 -130 €
shure 440 -70 €
beyerdynamic 770 pro -150€
sennheiser hd 558 - 130 €
sennheiser hd 598 - 160 € ( max budget)
Budget: 100€-150€
Source: Laptop, phone , mp4
Isolation Requirements: Mid-high isolation
Preferred Type: Full sized
Uses: These headphones will be used equally for gaming and music.
Games: Battlefield 3 and other fps games and MMO's. This is less important to me then the music portion.
Music: Mainly instrumental music. Epic music and instrumental rock, but I listen to other genres such as dubstep and to bands like coldplay aswell. My favourite music is definitly from 2 steps from hell.
Here's a list of some epic music.

Preferred Tonal Balance: No preferences, these will be my first quality headphones. I would like to feel some bass but the focus shouldn't be on it.
Past headphones: A 30 € logitech headset.
