update!
I have now raised my budget to $300 and am looking for both a soundcard and headphones. Currently considering the Ultrasone Pro 550, with a Creative Titanium HD or the Asus Sonar DX. Thoughts?

So I am looking to buy a new set of headphones or a headset to replace my old broken Logitech G35. I will admit I don't know all that much about headphones and headsets, but I am trying to learn.
I will be using them equally for gaming, music, and movies. I don't have a sound card other than the RealTek one built into my Asus M4A89GTD. A mic would be nice, but it is not a must as its easy enough to add one. My price range is around $150, no more than $200.
So far I am considering the Corsair Vengeance 2000, which I can get for $135. The only thing that is putting me off of them is that I have read that you can get much better audiophile headphones for the same price range. So I looked into the ATH-AD700, which I have heard is very nice.
I am really just looking for the best positional accuracy/soundstage for gaming, and also good strong bass for music (I listen to lots of dubstep so this is important for me).
If anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!
