Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2017-01-14)

Budget: $200-$300 (willing to spend more if necessary)

Source: PC on-board sound, willing to purchase amp.

Requirements for Isolation: Headphones must be isolated.

Preferred Type of Headphone: IEM or full sized, IEM slightly preferred. Ability to use detachable 3.5mm cable a plus but not a requirement.

Preferred tonal balance: Somewhat balanced with the right amount of bass.

Past headphones: Fostex T50rp BMF modded, Sony MH1C IEMs

Preferred Music: EDM, vocal heavy genres, original sound tracks

Intended use: Headphones will be used at home 100% of the time for gaming and extended music listening.

I have been rocking my T50s for two years but I find myself wanting something with more substance. They sound neutral with little to no bass and while I enjoy that I want a different listening experience.

I will be mostly gaming with the headphones so I want something that sounds immersive if possible. Listening to music is something I love but I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to headphones.
