Budget - ~$250
Source - iPhone/iPad
Isolation Requirements - Nothing too crazy, general ambient sound. Walking through campus/gym
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM
Preferred Tonal Balance - Balanced, good bass
Past Headphones - Klipsh S4. Looking for something with a more genuine, full sound and comfort
Preferred Music - Electronica / Rock

I'm also looking for something with iPhone Forward/Pause/Back controls and a microphone, however if this severely limits my options I'm willing to sacrifice the convenience of it. Thanks for the help!

Quick question, I have a pair of Denon AH-D2000's that I bought a couple years ago and rarely used until recently. Now that I'm enjoying them much more often on my PC, I'm looking to add a sound card that will allow me to hear their full potential while gaming and listening to music. I have been doing a bit of research and it looks like the Creative Sound Blaster ZxR would be what I'm looking for. Basically what I'm wondering is, will the built in amp be sufficient for powering these headphones? I'm new to audio gear and getting a bit confused on how much power the D2000's need to sound right.

ZxR Sound Card
Texas Instrument 6120A2 (120dB DAC, 80mW into 600 ohm)
AH-D2000
Impedance @ 1kHz: 25 Ohms
Sensitivity: 106dB/mW
