Hello guys, looking for a closed dynamic over-the-ear headphones for gaming, indoor listening, looks good, and just the best my money can buy.  I listen to dubstep, trance/dance, reggae-alternative-post-indie-melodic-electronica-punk rock, and underground/alternative/indie hip hop.  Need a lot of bass, but not overpowering the rest of the output.  Also going to be using this for xbox 360 gaming with a zalman clip-on mic; I play competitively so that's another factor.  Am I going to need an amp for enough sound depending on what headphones you guys suggest?  My price range is > $300: let me know guys, thanks.

Alright I will; thanks.

Alright after researching these, they look like what I'm looking for.  Hopefully they respond well to gaming.
 
(1-B) Audio Technica ATH-Pro700MK2, $140-$180. Dual removable cables, good build quality, strong clamp. Huge bass, mostly a fun basshead headphone.

One thing to note is that bass emphasis and competitive gaming don't work well hand in hand.

Yeah that's true, the competitive gaming headphones tend to be very low on the side of bass.  I wonder if I would still be able to get some decent accuracy, competitive play with these.  I really don't want to give up one for another.

Since they are closed headphones, i assume they have a small soundstage for games. Have you done a research on Beyer models?

Yeah I've been looking at the dt770 pro 80s; I've read better things about those.
