Hey everyone
I am about to make my first upgrade from introductory headphones. I am upgrading from Skullcandy Crushers, with a driver powered with a AA battery. Absolute junk, hoax, do NOT get these they are just bleak and unbearable to listen to. Theres always a high pitched hiss and the highs are absolutely artificial sounding and tin like. The mids are almost none existent. The bass, shakes the w hole headphones, which is great but when you can't hear the other instruments because they are getting canceled out, that's bad.
So, a good introductory headphone if I do say so myself. Bass is very important in the music listen to
A good example would be:

It's trap. Chillstep. Stuff where bass mids and high re all equally important, but bass is one of the dominating factors. If that makes sense?
Other examples might be:
Bonobo?

More examples might be Bassnectar, Tycho, Nigel Standford (very spacy) Black Beatles, etc...
I like Trap, chillstep, jazz, classical, oldies, pretty much them all but what I am listening to the most of at the moment would be Trap, Glitchhop, etc...
So what headphones work best for these tastes? I mean, I don't want something that has real good bass, but mids and highs are artificial, have no sparkle, just aren't there. I wouldn't think Neutral would be the best listening because the bass would not have any power to it at all.
I was thinking mid range( 150-300$) would be a great place to upgrade to seeings how the crushers were $80, which falls under the introductory range.
I certainly looked at open headphones but, I would prefer something with a little more isolation. I am trying to isolate myself from the world around me.
I'd also like something with a carrying case because than they are protected, which would be something they'd need. Not that I'd abuse them.
What do you all think? Do you have any questions?
Thank-you for your time and suggestions, be looking for replies from me

Update: I forgot to mention that these aren't for me, and $300 would be my absolute max I could possibly go, unfortunantly
