I'm interested in finding a pair of circumaural headphones now that I don't want to listen with IEMs anymore. I usually use the Monoprice IEMs, but I want to start listening with closed, over-ear headphones.
 
I'm interested in listening with the Sony MDR-7506, which was highly recommended by The Wirecutter:
http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-150-over-ear-headphones/
 
I used to listen to music with the Shure SRH840, but they leak sound at the volume I listen to, which is at a barely normal volume, and they also lack deep bass. I was thinking about selling them and buy the 7506, but there might be some other recommendations.
 
I mainly listen to electronic music such as Daft Punk, Tycho, and Boards of Canada, but I also listen to other genres except dubstep and country. Classical music is another favorite (mainly for studying). 
 
Sound isolation should be exceptional; I used to listen to the Bose IE2s, but their noise isolation is abysmal. Sound quality was decent, however.
 
The price range is less than $100.
 
What headphones for me would be recommended? Please help!

7506, sadly doesn't have the deep bass you are looking for. Look at XB500.

The 840's leak? Make sure you aren't ruining your hearing, but agree they are very bass light. I would suggest Beyer DT770's but you said under $100, maybe the Creative Aurvana LIVE! or M-Audio Q40's?

I should have added that the bass should be detailed, not boomy; I looked at the Sony MDR-XB500, and they have punchy bass, but the treble and mids are recessed. Plus, they leak some sound, even at low volumes.

If you think that 840 leak, you will probably need on-ears. I mean, SRH840 is a rather non-leaky full size headphone. If you find them to leak sound, you will need something with intense clamping or just find an on ear.

 

[kimvictor]

Even 7056 that you planned on buying leaks more than 840. However, you can mod the 7056 to have very punchy bass with still superb clarity and detail with good mid/treble presence. Look at my signature(multi headphone review) for modded V6(same as 7056) vs stock V6.

Oops. Didn't mean to do that. What supra-aural headphones are recommended for me?

What source(s) would you be plugging the headphones into?
 
Headphone wise, I think the Takstar Pro 80 (Gemini HSR-1000), $85, is as good as any $100 headphone.

HD25 ii, if you can find one used for $100 or CAL.

 

[Bigbob8]

I would simply plug the headphones into an iPod. I don't have a portable amp.

 

[Bigbob8]

Are there any recommendations for portable amps for under $100? I looked at many FiiO products, but I'd like to see some other brands that also make affordable amps.
