Hey guys,
 
I'm an avid video gamer as well a listener to EDM, dubstep, house, trance, jazz, classical, and rock music. I wanted to know are there any good headphones for the price range of 100-300 dollars that can help with listening to my choices of music as well as my hobby of video gaming? I would prefer over-ear headphones over in-ear's, I heard audio tech's headphones are pretty good, but those are the only recommendations I'm getting from my friends. I wanted to come here to ask you guys for another opinion if possible. Thanks in advance for helping out!
 
Edit: I am a PC gamer, and the headphones I'm looking for should also not make me look like a dork when I want to walk around campus with them on...if that helps out any . Thanks again for the amazing head phones suggestions thus far!

If you have a look at the last couple of pages on the Momentum's thread, a guy posted saying they're very good for gaming...I don't use mine for that, however the music side I can vouch for as can many others.

They're going above my price range, but they do look like very good headphones, thanks!

"Gaming" is quite a wide ranging term. Competitive FPS wise you would want something with great soundstage and positioning. Otherwise, you would be satisfied with any headphone that does movies well. For classical, an open headphone is usually best.
I would recommend:
<$100
Creative Aurvana Live
Denon AH-D1100 (usually discounted below 100)
Koss DJ100
Koss TBSE
Audio Technica M50(if $100 or less)
 
$100-300
Beyerdynamic DT770 80Ohm
Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro
Audio Technica A900X
Sennheiser HD598(although it might not play well with some genres of music)

Is this PC? xbox? or PS3 gaming?
If PC, does it have a sound card?
