What headphones will be good for EDM and gaming?

[billybobisnotmyname]

I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones. I can spend up to $300. I don't care about impedance, as I'm getting an amp. I like a lot of bass (I listen to EDM and play video games) and would prefer closed back headphones, but that's not too important. I was looking at the Sennheiser HD8 DJ's, (because of Linus' review) until I read some reviews and forums. I am looking at maybe the DT990 Pro's or AKG 550's or something. So what would you all recommend? Thanks in advance!

I would look into a pair of HiFiMAN HE-400 for clarity and detail (uses Planar Magnetic drivers, usually found on more expensive headphones) or a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros 80ohm if you want a more bassy set of cans.

The Hifiman's are open where as the Beyerdynamic are closed back.

All low quality compared to any decent pair of headphones. No offense.
