I own a Beyerdynamic DT150 & they are doing great but they isolate me from the outside world. So are there any headphones in existence which don't isolate me but don't allow people around me to get disturbed by what I'm listening to?

I have a Auzen X-Fi Forte as my source which has a headphone amp & it can go up to 600ohm

Other requirements are:
1) Must be Closed Back (Keep my ears warm)
2) Must have a 3 to 4 meter long cord
3) Must be Very Comfortable (12hrs usage daily)
4) Must have good Sound Stage
5) Must have amazing bass
6) Must have clear vocals/mids
7) Must have little recessed highs

max budget: $1500

BTW are you serious with straight 12 hours of listening, if you do it daily, i guess it might damage your hearing.

I wear them 12hrs & listen 2-3hrs
no iem please

Most closed fons that don't leak a lot of sound will also have reasonable isolation. We are talking degrees here, and a lot depends on how loud you listen etc. Having said that, the DT150 are amongst the most isolating headphones I have had (apart from IEMs of course), so I guess you could look at Ultrasones or move to supra-aural fons like ES7, ESW9 etc for less isolation. However with less isolation you find greater sound leakage comes as a result as a rule.

Based on your budget, ESW10, Ultrasone Edition 8 come immediately to mind, however there are quite a few that will be considerably less than your budget of $1500. Pro900 for instance aren't a bad compromise in the leakage\ isolation equation and will give you much better sound than the DT150 IMO (even though I quite liked the DT150 sound).

I use low volumes
supra-aural hurt me

how are Denon D7000 & GermanMaestro GMP250?
