Hi,
I will buy an Alienware 17 laptop soon and I want a premium headset under $200. I decided to get SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism at first but I heard it may push your ears and it might get you feel uncomfortable. Also it bleeds out audible noise as I've read and it lacks bass. So I don't know what to get now. Things I'm looking for:
1-) No noise leak to outside or at least very little at high volumes
2-) Good sound quality including bass sounds. I will listen to music such as dubstep (bass needed) as well as using the headset for gaming
3-)Good looks

I couldn't manage to find any headsets featuring all these.

if you jacked your budget up a little, i'm sure you would be happy with the dt770pro-80, a fiio amplifier or external soundcard and a clip on microphone.
