I'd like them to have:
punchy bass even when driven from a tv headphone output,
a circumaural design,
be slightly warm not analytical,
a wide yet forward soundstage,
smooth sounding mids,
no sweet highs like my akg k240s.
They'll be used with games/movies for a long time, so in a nutshell I want them to sound exciting/bassy without being harsh on my ears either physically or acoustically. Thanks a lot.
Thinking about it again quickly, maybe I should get a cmoy and a beyerdynamic dt770-80?

The HD-555 fits your description. They're warm, circumaural, 50 ohms, and have a decent soundstage. Someone will probably recommend the 595 also, if you have a few more dollars.

I am listening to Sennheiser 595s right now, and I am really into gaming, very comfortable headphones and they sound great

A900's are about $200 and seem to fit your bill
Highs are a little bright but sound stage is wide and their supe comfy

The 555s look like a good deal, they'll probably give 90% of the 595s performance and they cost 50% less. I'd like comments from people that have listened to the a900s and 555/595s.
