Good headphones for under $200

[Spankymcbob1]

Trying to figure out which headphones to get. I only am interested in sennheiser headphones. I was thinking about getting https/www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0042A8CW2/ref=sr_1_2?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1472455400&sr=1-2&keywords=sennheiser or if I more than double my budget I could get https/www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-700-Headphone-Black/dp/B0070U8KSM/ref=sr_1_23?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1472455400&sr=1-23&keywords=sennheiser I do have a really good mix amp etc... I just want some headphones with good base that don't leak very much.

HD700 are better (even left-right balance, smoother response curve, etc), but at that point you'll need to have an equally good DAC+amp to back it up.

If noise leaking/noise isolation is a big concern for you, how about taking at look at the MDR-1A ? Not the best bang for buck out there, but they are quite excellent closed sets (and surprisingly well fitting and light weight)

I have this one at my desk https/www.amazon.com/Creative-High-Resolution-Headphone-Amplifier-Bluetooth/dp/B00MXJYDUO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1472456387&sr=8-7&keywords=DAC%2Bamp then I have https/www.amazon.com/NX3-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Computers/dp/B01GQ2TEAC/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1472456519&sr=8-16&keywords=DAC%2Bamp in my laptop bag for mobile. I was also looking at the Dt heatphones, these ones mostly https/www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-990-Premium-600-Headphones/dp/B0024NK34O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1472456577&sr=8-3&keywords=dt990

I would have suggested the MDR-1As or the Audio Technica MSR7s, but the HD598 is really the only option in your budget for Sennheisers...
