The Ultrasone HFI-580 is good for a wide range of music and it's very durable and portable with a folding design. S-Logic actually works, so they should be decent gaming headphones. Not as good as something like the Audio Technica AD700 for gaming, but you'll probably enjoy how this one sounds a lot more. The AD700 is also open, not portable, and not pretty. If you need a mic, the Zalman ZM-1 and Modmic are linked in the first post.

Again, I need a currency.

Greetings from Malaysia =D.

Budget:
Within MYR1500 or Approx. 490 USD

Music preferences:
Primary : Rock, Symphonic Metal, Indie, Neo-Classical, Post-Rock
Secondary : Folks, New Age, Soundtrack musics

Type/form-fact:
Closed

Listening from:
Primary: PC. With usual, conventional built in soundcard.
Secondary: iPod Shuffle

Details:

• Portable?
  Yes. If possible, would be able to wear them comfortably when walking on streets, but this is not really important as I spend most of my time in front of PC.
  
  
• Do they need to isolate well?
  Yes, definitely. If possible, able to isolate me from radio musics being played in my office.
  
  
• Is durability a big priority?
  Yes.
  
  
• Are these for gaming?
  No. This one will focus mainly on enjoying music, or keeping me up when working for long hours.
  
  
• Do you have any hardware like amps or DACs that you will be using?
  Nope.
  
  
• Do you need an amp and/or DAC?
  Nope.
  
  
• Have you had significant experience with certain headphones in the past?
  No. I'm totally new with audiophile headphones.
  
  
• Do you have any other relevant questions?
  Nope.

I've been recommended by some people on Aiaiai TMA-1 Studio and AKG K550. Yet I'm seeking to have more choices and more advice onto this matter. Investing in an audiophile headphone is a quite luxurious thing for people in my place, so I wouldn't want to gamble on things i'm not familiar with.

Looking forward to hear from you

Actually, can you check how far away you are from the Jaben store in Malaysia?

3A-1-29A Straits Quay
Jalan Sri Tanjung Pinang
Tanjung Tokong 10470
Pulau Pinang
Malaysia

and

65A Jalan SS15/8A SS15
47500 Subang Jaya
Selangor
Malaysia

They have a ridiculous number of headphones available to try, and your ears would be a much better judge than ours.

Yep I'm from Penang/Pulau Pinang of Malaysia and the location is pretty far away from my residence. And due to I'm working during night-shift 6 days per week, getting there is quite a problem. Thus I do hope that someone would recommend something before I have the (slightest) chance to visit that Jaben store.

Budget: 50$

Music preferences: Dubstep,Rap,Hip hop

Type/form-factor: in ear headphones

Open or closed: closed

Listening from: iphone, macbook

Details: i need a durable pair that i can through in my pocket and not be worried. I like a lot of bass because i listen to dubstep with harsh drops. I like the style of flat wires or even corded wires also i need them to not let anyone else hear the music

I wouldn't go for the AiAiAi, but the K550 would be a pretty good choice. The K267 looks to be a very interesting choice as well, but I haven't tried that.
