I got some extra money and have wanted a new pair of headphones for some time. I'm not very knowledgeable with headphone specs so I've come here for some help. I would like headphones that allow me to hear all the footsteps in Modern Warfare, Yet also listen to and enjoy my bassy punk rock music all for under $75. I do not want On-Ear, I do not need a mic, I would prefer closed-back and wired. However, I am open to all suggestions.

So far I've narrowed it down to the following:

Audio Technica ATH-MX30X (45ohms impedance)(15Hz-20kHz)(Punchy Bass)($69.00)
VS
Creative Aurvana Live (32ohms impedance)(10Hz-30kHz)(Neutral Sound W/ Punchy Bass)($67.23)
VS
Hyper-X Cloud Core (60ohms impedance)(15Hz-25kHz)(Normal/Meh Bass)($69.99)
VS
Philips SHP9500 (32ohms impedance)(12Hz-35kHz)(Sufficiently Punchy Bass)($74.98)
VS
Fnatic REACT (23ohms impedance)(20Hz-40kHz)(Weaker Punchy Bass)($69.99)
VS
Philips Fidelio L2 (16ohms impedance)(12Hz-25kHz)(Punchy Bass)($61.91)

If you guys have anything better I'm all ears.

From that list the Fidelio L2 is an absolute standout and a steal at that price.

Could you give me on a 1-10 scale how bad the sound leakage is for the L2's, I'm a college student and I'm sure my dorm roommates wouldn't be too fond of them if the leakage is bad. (I'm assuming there's leakage since they're semi-open)

They are actually more closed than open. You can hear sound leakage if the music is really loud, or if you're close to the headphones.
For example a fully open headphone like the SHP9500s is an 8 or 9. The L2 is more like a 5 or 6. A fully closed headphone won't necessarily be a 1 or 2, btw. I think most are in the 3 or 4 range.
