Well if I do end up getting them, what version should i get? Don't forget, they need to be able to be driven with the internal Amp.

The 32ohm and 80ohm will work on onboard for sure. The 250 ohm might need an amp but usually the 250 is much cheaper anyway so that's the one you should go for and just try it on your motherboard and if you need an amp you can buy one and the cost will come out to the same.

Is there any sound difference between the 32, 80, and 250 Ohm ones? Like if I find a good deal on the 32 ohm one, is it a no brainer over the 80 ohm and 250 ohm pairs?

The pros and premiums are the same thing they just look different. Slightly different build but the sound and the insides of the cups are the same.

Well, the DT770s seem like great headphones, but I'm looking for alternatives to. Would like something more bass light and that has a wide soundstage (need to hear little details in gaming), but still meets the criteria I listed. The DT770s come close, but they may be to bass heavy.

What about HD 598s?

 

[HarleyZH]

Are you planning on using them outdoors? Moving around a few times a day seems that you are just going to move around the house, my presumption is probably wrong though.
 
Philips X1 would be perfect for all your purposes, if you only used them at home where leak wouldn't matter.

DT770 's bass is best amped...
yamaha mt220 still gets my vote.

That is correct. I occasionally move from the desk, to the table, to couch. I'll look into the X1s. How are they for gaming?

No 598s then. On the Yamaha's, do you mind giving me a few reasons for them over something like DT770s? I would look it up myself, but info on them is quite hard to find.

I've found that wanting a headphone for gaming and for being mobile is tough to balance.

Generally open headphones work far better for gaming, at least in my experience. The sound stage and open sense you get really helps for immersion in video games. Open headphones for mobile purposes just don't work at all because of the sound leaking in/out, so automatically it's a big problem.
 
I personally can't use anything on ear when outside, especially when it's warm. A better option would be to grab a $200 pair of headphones for gaming (maybe cheaper), and a nice set of in ears for being out and about (you can get a decent set for $50)
 
I use a set of HiFiMAN HE400's at home with a Schiit Magni and Modi amp/dac for music and gaming, and I use a set of Audeo 012 in ears for being out and about. This is significantly over your budget, but you get the idea.

MLE has a great guide on selection of gaming headphones for many price ranges here:

edit: Reading your post again made me realize maybe you just mean mobile as in moving around your home and not out doors

either way, the reviews from MLE on the gaming side of things might help you out!

The leaking sound does not matter to me. When I say moving around, I mean around the house. They don't need to be mobile in the sense of walking out and about. Just movable around the house.

The X1 is great for gaming.

Look at the Philips X1 entry.

 

[PCunicorn]

The two things that are standing out to me right now are:

Phillips X1s
Beyer DT770s

Is there anything that's a good middle ground? The Phillips are awesome it seems, but they're open. While it's not a big deal, I do have family and don't necessarily want them listening to my stuff. The DT770s are closed and seem nice, but they are probably to bass heavy.

 

[MUSICCURE]

I have both the X1 and DT 770/80. While I enjoy both for sound and comfort, I surely don't use them on the move because the X1's are open, the DT 770's chord is so long, and both are a little to big. For mobility and ease to drive I much prefer the Koss Porta Pro.

 

[PCunicorn]

Like I've said, I don't care much about the openness or the length of the cord, because when I say move, I mean around the house.
