What Headphones should I get?

---

Hello, my name is Adam. I am looking for a good pair of "Headphones" so i can improve my drumming as well as enjoy music more then ever.

What I am looking for:
Isolation Headphones
Good Audio
Some Bass Included
Possible, Good Looking so If I were them around.

Price Range:
$150-$250 (Or close to it, I DONT MIND IF I HAVE TO GET USED FOR PRICE)

What it will be used for?
Drumming
Music (techno)
Watch movies on Computer

I was suggested, [size=small]Dr Dre Studio Headphones[/size]. Although they are a little pricey, but I may get a pair refurbished or used. Do you recommend these?

If you know any alternative headphones in the price range I included I would appreciate it.

I originally was going to get the Beats by Dre Pro until I saw the light.  I highly suggest you peek into my thread and see the comments that helped me come up with my final selection.
 
There is a great link of a review of many headsets with detailed pro's and con's I think you will find helpful.  I ended up going for the Sennheiser HD 25-II 1's.  $200 off Amazon, and they are absolutely fantastic!  I use them for mixing, and though I was going to buy another pair for every day use (possibly Sony XB 500's or 1000's), I am leaning on keeping them for that purpose as well. 
 
Light, comfortable, powerful, clean, etc.  I was blessed to have had help from many of the users on this forum; I'm sure you will find the same.

Drummers use Beyerdynamic DT770s! I recommended them to my cousin who's a drummer and he found them to be perfect, they're also great with bass and movies which suit your other requirements.

If you want to use them for more than just drumming monitors you will get a better all around listening experience from the pro 250

Beyerdynamic DT 770 M should suit you perfectly, they seal better than the others no doubt due to pleather ear pads over velor ones. You want good isolation so you can hear all instruments and yourself at reasonable levels. The other beyers might be better sounding for music and movies but the drummer series won't be far behind. You can audition these at Guitar Center, sometimes they even have specials on.

Can you possible adjust the power of the isolation? Just wondering haha

There are almost no cans that do this.  As soon as you mess with any physical properties, it changes the sound considerably.

Alright, I think I will pay the extra 20$ or so for the Drum Pair. Thanks guys, you have helped a lot. Just curious, does it come with a case, that would be nice

Beyerdynamic DT 770 M have some bad reviews... I need to know by tommaro what to get. Should I still get them? LOTS of people said the isolation isn't what they put out to be.

The Sennheiser PXC 450 are good for what you want and there are sellers at amazon.com for 280 for like-new.

I have to stay within the 150-200 price range. (maybe few bucks over)
