Any closed headphones that don't have terrible soundstage?

I'm looking for some portable headphones to use (under $150) that that noise isolate and have some decent soundstage. I'm not sure if what I'm asking for is to much but when I tried the m50s the lack of soundstage annoyed me. I prefer a v curve sound signature and white if possible. Not required.

DT770 sounds perfect for you. You will probably have to buy used to get it under $150 though. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

These look like essentially an closed version of the 990s. Not that this is bad, I'm planning on getting some 990s for home use.

So save by just getting the 770's.

Sony MDR-1R. One of the nicest balance between closed vs sound space vs price

These look perfect thank you!

But dat bass port - bad isolation, defeating the point of closed.

CHC Silverados isolate quite a lot, but don't have a v-curve like Beyerdynamics.

I think you're getting it confused with the COP. The MDR 1R does not have a bass port. xD

ewoops - was thinking of the 10R and 1A I guess. Lachlan reviews throw me for a loop.
