What headphones would you recommend if I need:
1. Good noise isolation
2. I prefer bass heavy
3. Over-ear
4. Under 120$ (I can be flexible if it costs more)
5. Will be used at my desk at work so portability isn't really a concern.
6. Sound quality (duh)
 
As a side question, how much better would the isolation of IEM's like Shure SE215 be?
 
Thanks!

Bassy closed headphones? Sound like dt770 pro to me. I have a pair, they are super comfy and i think they offer exactly what you are long for

I bought the 250 ohm as I have a nice dedicated HP setup. And I'm not sure how the 250 and 80 compare bass wise someone else will have to comment on that.

I might be wrong so someone correct me please but i think the main change with the m is the ear cup material. Leather and synthetic leathers isolate more than velour which the normal pro has, they might also change the ear cup padding too.
I hate leather and synthetic leather on my ear cups. It gets hot, it sticks and doesn't wear well over time. But that's my preference

Hi, sorry to barge in, but i create a very similar thread, but no one replied.
I found this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyerdynamic-DT990-PRO-Headset-250/dp/B0011UB9CQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1451231551&sr=1-1&keywords=Beyerdynamic+DT990+PRO+Headset+-+250+OHM
 
Not sure how good, since they are about 3 year old... same goes for the 770
 
Also a good read
