Hello there,
I've been posting for quite a while now and now I think I can give a better picture of what I'm looking for.
I was going to buy a headset but I decided to go for a better headphones and a seperate Speedlink mic around 15EUR.
 
Some factors which are important:
 
-Price range: Around $100, if It's really worth it $120. Preferably lower than $100
-Durability: I'm looking for some durable cans as I have many broken headphones because of poor cabling.
-Preferably a detachable cable
-No sound leakage or very little.
-Comfortable as I will be listening to music and gaming for long-ish hours.
-I am not using an AMP although I have DOLBY HOME THEATER built-in to my laptop
 
My main priority is music:

1. Some bands I enjoy listening to : Pantera, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Insomnium, Kreator, Mercenary.
2. Softer bands I listen to: Pink Floyd and Buckethead. Also some solo albums by Roger Waters and David Gilmour.
3. Some DJ Artists I enjoy listening to: Armin Van Buuren, Tenishia, Dash Berlin, Andrew Rayel, Omnia, ATB, Paul van Dyk and much more even some Chillstep artists like Blackmill
4. Trance music, Metal music, Acoustic and Rock

 
I don't like a completely studio headphones, I want the music to be enhanced while still being realisitic. Thats why I think I prefer DJ Heaphones. Bass just a thumb is enough, I am not a bass head at all but It's nice to have a thump.
 
That rounds it up, Thanks in advance!

Try AKG-GHS1. The bass here is amazing for games like Battlefield 3.

Music is my main priority but I am looking for something that has bass (the perfect amount, not too much) while keeping good soundstage for a surround-ish sound.

The bass needed to be just a little better on the PRO5V. I'm not sure if you can find some reviews and check its audio description (mids etc, bass etc)

Do you think they are good for Trance/chillstep and metal?

 

[NineEleven]

KRK KNS-8400.  I believe they fulfill all your criteria:  durable, detachable cable, comfortable. low sound leakage.  Can be found for $120.

YESH they sound pretty good with all these genre of music. Keep in mind, one who is good at everything, master nothing. Same theory goes to headphone!

What do you think of the KNS6400?

I considered 6400 b4... It's warmer, n the pad isn't memory foam like 8400.
