My Bose triports just broke and I was looking to get new headphones that are better in the $100-200 price range.

I know people say the triports are horrible SQ but they are the most comfortable headphones Ive owned.

I'm looking for a new set that I can wear all day without it being a problem.

I also need for no sound to leak from the headphones as other people will be around me when I'm listening to music or gaming.

I like deep crisp bass and usually listen to goa/psytrance and metal.

Any recommendations?

The Beyerdynamic DT770 sounds like it would be right up your alley. Closed, comfy, extreme bass without being bloated.

the es7 is very nice, sounds good but maybe not too comfortable for full-day use, though i have no problem with an hour or two.
the d1001 is another solid choice.
both 'standard' choices at the lower end of your price range

audio technica has a few closed models. i can wear the ath a700 all day. it's the only closed / circumaural i have.

I would add the Creative Aurvana Live! HP's (it is a clone of d1000/d1001 from the same manufacturer - Foster)

without being bloated ??common

may depend on where/when/what you hear... when I heard a pair, they where bass-shy if anything... direct comparison at the time was the dt990/HD650 but really, I was expecting much worse

I finally went with the ATH-a700's.

Seems a lot of gamers use them for their excellent SQ and comfort.

Thanks for the help =)
