You can give the Audio Technica AD700X a try. It's predecessor, the AD700, was reviewed to be a good headphones for gaming.

Closest are TDKBA200, Rockit R-50.

GR07 MKIIs are not dual BAs, but highly recommended.

We would also have gaming headphones from Razer and Logitech. But most had experienced that the AD700/AD700X is a versatile headphone that perform well for both music and gaming.

You can give the Audio Technica CKS77X a try. You might find it's bass not as heavy as the SE215SPE.

You can consider the Sennheiser IE80, which would fit most genres and being a dynamic driver it have a considerable amount of soundstage.

Hi there, not sure if you had tried the Shure SE215SPE but do give it a try. Most find that it has more bass than the BA200. You can compare it with Audio Technica CKS1000 also, which is another popular model for bass.
