So what are my options?

 

The AKG K553 mentioned earlier may indeed be a good option. I like mine...

PC Build in LTT Gallery - JBL J88 - Fostex T50RP (Modded) - Pioneer SE-A1000 vs audio-technica ATH-AD500X - Skullcandy Aviator  
audio-technica ATH-T400 - CHC Silverado and Laredo - Clip-On Headphone Roundup - Sony LinkBuds

I'm having trouble thinking of headphones for your particular needs in your particular budget... The Momentum on-ear is good, but doesn't isolate pretty much anything. The regular Momentum is good IF and only if it fits correctly on your head (if the pads don't seal properly they wont sound good), and the 2.0 version is definitely out of budget. The HD25 (or any version of it) isolates well and might be the sound you're looking for, but they might not be comfortable enough for home use. The Sony MDR-1R gets good reviews, but it is ported which reduces noise isolation.

What about Creative Aurvana Live 2? They seem to have a pretty good sub-bass that doesen't choke the mids or highs. Apparantely they are the same as Denon AH-D1001...

 

Damn it's so hard to chose closed headphones for some immersive (that punchy bass) feel in movies and games...

They are suposivly good, but I don't trust creative.

I would go for custom one pro

Only thing I doubt is how long they would last.
