So, to dive right in. I am getting a new pair of headphones and the more I do research on which ones I want, the more confused I get. So I need help.
 
Right now I own a pair of SOL republic headphones and while I like them all right I really want something a little better.
I Really love music and My taste is extremely Wide so I am after some sort of(Unattainable?) one size fits all headphone.  
Mainly I use my headphones at the computer for gaming and listening to music but sometimes I like to take my headphones to school and such.
Also my home environment is rather loud and populous so open back headphones are pretty much out of the question(Most unfortunately), but so are sound isolating ones as well because in my house it is a good Idea to know what is going on around you.   
 
The headphones I am currently exploring are listed below, but I am open to suggestions. My budget is $60-70
 
 
AKG K240
 
JVC HARX700
 
Symphonized Wraith 2.0
 
ATH m30x
 
Panasonic RP-HTF600-s
 
SuperLux HD 668b
 
Now I've heard good and bad about all of these models so even if you guys could just tell me which to stay away from that be great.
 
 
 
Thanks in advance guys

Like I said my musical taste is hugely varied but If I had to pick my favorite Genre it would probably be classic rock and pop, but I also listen to dubstep/dance/electronic type music a lot also so I would say those two are my favorites.  
I don't really understand what you mean by sound signature, but I am not really much of a purist or a Bass head, I like the Idea of "Clean" or "flat" sound But I am worried that I might not like it coming from such a consumer oriented set of cans, but then again I might.  
thanks so much for helping me out.

The K240 and the Superlux are both semi-open so they won't isolate well. If you don't require a lot of isolation, the K240 is a pretty good headphone.
 
Otherwise, the JVC HARX700 and the Panasonic RP-HTF600-S are good choices considering the genres of music you listen to.
 
I don't know much about the M30X or Symphonized Wraith 2.0 so I can't help you there.
