Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2017-01-23)

Looking to replace my broken ATH-M50's with something different.

Budget - Somewhere between $120-$160 Source - Galaxy s7 edge Requirements for islolation - I'll be using them on public transportation quite frequently so I could certainly use some isolation. Preferred type of headphone - Definitely full size/over ear. Preferred tonal balance - I'm not entirely sure, so I guess I'll say balanced, although I don't think I'm a fan of the V shaped signature. Past Headphones - I've had my ATH-M50's for a while and they were great, but missing something. I also had a pair of vsonic gr07's which I absolutely adored, but sadly lost. Preferred Music - I mostly listen to metal (prog/djent and metalcore) and some punk along with smaller amounts of varied genres. Improvements - I often found myself needing to bump up the volume in my M50's to really get a "completely encompassed by music" feeling. The isolation wasn't bad, but my suspicion is that it was due to their lack of mids along with a bass that wasn't the punchiest either, although I'm just speculating at that.
