Unsure if it can ship to Mindanao, but they're in stock on Amazon. Perhaps you could log in and check for yourself https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9
If shipping to PH isn't possible, you could use a package forwarder like MyShoppingBox or similar.
I would try the AKG K371. They have a very neutral presentation with some emphasized subbass. Very good at resolving detail. Vocals are going to sound great with them. Easy to drive with a phone. And they are way under your budget, so you'd be really happy if you love how they sound.
Amazon has them listed on sale with free returns. So if you don't like them, they will pay return shipping https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9/
If you want to spend more, you can try the Beyerdynamic DT1770. But I would try the AKGs first. They are a really good headphone.
This one? They seem so inexpensive that it’s be hard to believe that they are good. I could be wrong. AKG Pro Audio K371 Over-Ear, Closed-Back, Foldable Studio Headphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WZH7WM9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0H9wFbH6NRW1Q
After listening to these songs carefully, and checking the specific parts you mentioned using a spectrum analyzer, almost every part was sub 100Hz, and many more of those were sub 50Hz, which is very low bass. Basically, the 40Hz range and below is pretty much all rumble, up to about 80Hz has the kind of "bumping" bass, where there's kick drums and such, and up to a bout 160Hz, you have the "boom" of the bass, things like a high end of a bass guitar.
It seems that since most of what you're looking for is pretty deep, you need a headphone pair that can reproduce those deep bass notes clearly, with separation between them to be distinguishable. In the situation you're listening to them in, most high end headphones should be able to do this, but let's go for some options.
You should understand something about how audio is produced, too. The "dynamic driver" design that most headphones and speakers use is based on the principle that if you move a material layer back and forth at a certain frequency, it will produce sound at said frequency. However, if you want to reproduce multiple frequencies at once, you can move the smaller frequencies, the higher pitched ones, in between the longer, larger movements of the lower frequencies. By doing this, you can reproduce almost any frequency you'd like.
However, due to the nature of how speakers are designed, you will inevitably have the issue of not all frequencies being reproduced at the same volume, and depending on the enclosure the speaker's driver is in, (driver is the layer that moves) some frequencies can echo within themselves and clash, causing their energy produced as sound to cancel each other out. Because of this, all headphones and speakers will sound different from one another, but certain steps can be taken to mitigate this.
The first is in the design itself. A driver that can move more precisely can better reproduce notes without them muddying together, and a driver that can be physically larger can produce more amounts of sound, provided power is supplied. Why this is important is because bass notes are produced by higher energy due to their larger wavelengths, meaning the driver has to physically move more distance and consume more power to reproduce those notes. However, pumping more power without a driver adequately designed to make those notes precise means that you end up with "one-note bass," where the bass is being made, but it all sounds like the same low note.
One last thing to consider: While "flatness" (basically making all the frequencies be reproduced at the same volume so everything is consistent) is desired heavily within the audiophile community, not everyone likes this, and you should feel free to mess with equalization or go for something less "accurate" if you feel you just like the sound better. This is perfectly normal. For instance, the AirPods Max, while having a very neutral and "flat" sound profile for the most part, tend to add a bit of a drop around 3-5KHz, and then raise it up around 6-7KHz, resulting in something that has a bit of a softer sound on sibilants (like S and T sounds) making it easy to listen to for long periods of time, but means there is not always the clarity and sharpness to vocals that some people desire.
With all that said, here are my suggestions:
AKG K371 is a very accurate sounding headphone with a very low frequency extension going down to 11KHz, which is so deep you can't even hear it, you just feel it. It reproduces bass exceptionally well, and is fairly accurate, however it fails to block out noise as well, and they can be not the most comfortable to some users, especially with glasses or long hair getting in the way of the pads making a good seal. $154.51 on Amazon right now.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is also a good option, as it similarly performs to the AKG K371, but removes some of the "boom" in exchange for the "thump" to some degree. Accuracy is not as high, but still very, very good. It does have a leakage problem, however, as it doesn't block noise out, so others can hear you more, and it has similar problems in the fit department with long hair or glasses. $139.00 on Amazon right now.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is by far the least accurate so far, but is still better than most headphones. We're not going down too far. They fit much more consistently, and give a bump in the high bass, which may be boomy to some, or it may be "warm" to others. It's a great pair regardless, but has a similar problem with isolating noise. $189.00 on Amazon right now.
You've probably noticed by now that the pricing is fairly low for what you're asking for, however, and the reason for that is because most high end headphones don't emphasize the bass much. Even options like the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro have bass about as good as their DT 770 Pro, but have a sharp sibilance, similar noise blocking/leakage, and while they are built significantly better, with a much wider, more open sound, (which may or may not be important to you) and cost $469.00 on Amazon with a sale, but are normally $699.00.
My point is that the price is not nearly as important as the sound, so don't be fooled by what you see. Actually, the pair I use on my PC is the Superlux HD 681 with some aftermarket cushions, as they are incredibly accurate, (though I did have to reduce the sibilance using an equalizer to be comfortable long-term with them) and have an extremely wide soundstage. They do have some downsides. They're built with the cheapest plastic, they don't have a removable cable, (which is very, very long) and don't block out noise by any stretch, but until they were out of stock, cost me all of $34.95, and most of the time they were closer to $25. They are sold out on Amazon right now, but my point is that for me, these were the best sounding option for my desires, and I was just happily surprised by the sound because I wasn't looking at price, just measurements of the audio they produce.
Go ahead and look at the legendary Senheiser HD 800 S, the HiFiMan Arya, or the Focal Clear Mg headphones and tell me what you see in the test results, especially around the bass. These are all $1,000+ headphones, but because they are tuned for a certain audience, they have different characteristics in mind. So you need to ask yourself what's important in your audio, try out as many options as possible, and do your research. I have been linking to a website called Rtings.com because they have very in-depth reviews using only objective testing methods, and are easily accessible, but check out places like Crinacle.com and you'll see similar results for a peer-review in their testing, and do your research. Sometimes what you see in the measurements are not what your ears like, too, so bear that in mind. Only you can decide that.
One of the best ways you can help yourself now is to get an equalizer, even a simple one, with multiple frequency bands to mess with, and experiment with sliding them up and down to see what sounds best to you. I may take some time, but it will be worth it. Also, don't be afraid to order and return headphones just to try them out. I worked at Best Buy and tried next to 30 pairs before I decided on the ones I wanted. I know this is an incredibly long response, but I hope this has helped you out, and feel free to ask for any more information. Cheers!
Don't get them a microphone. It's too personal and requires specific sound treatment to sound good. You get them a dud and it's a waste of money.
Instead, get them something that is generally useful for people and can still be great for voiceacting.

Another vote for the Insignia. No it’s not great but it is an incredible deal on a decent beginning table. Add some AKG K371s good cans and very easy to drive. If needed add Aiyima A2 dac/amp and you can get extension cable from Amazon. All in at about $240. Plenty of room to upgrade.

is this it?
Looks to be this.
I would recommend the AKG 371's
I use these, they're the new budget/entry audiophile headphones reddit seems to recommend. They have a p neutral sound so they might not be the best for hip hop necessarily, but I like knowing everything sounds more or less the way it's supposed to (with a tiny bit of bass apparently)
The old ones were these, which were my first pair of headphones. iirc they have a more V-shaped sound, so the highs and lows are more emphasized. That might be better for hip hop specifically
AKG 371 - Good audio. Closed back, so noise isolation. Has wired and bluetooth versions.
For immersion I would recommend something like the AKG K371
Like you I was looking for a headphone for experiencing gaming. I have a majority of the headphones everyone is listing. They are all excellent, but the AKG's I find myself coming bacck to over my Drop 177X, HD58XX, HD 600, Philip X2 (the original ones), Philips SPH 9500 (original ones), and my Beyerdynamic 880 PROs.
I also have a JDS Labs dac+/amp+ and Topping L30/E30 combo. The AKG's feel like a better all-arounder for most games. I think my HD58X's and Drop 177X's are both a close 2nd. If it's cinamatic, I go with the 880 Pro's.
Here is a good review on them: AKG K371 Review (Audio Science Review)

Metal571 and Uluv's Gadgets have reviews for both on their channels if you wanna check out some reviews.
Need help setting up my audio settings and judging how much of an upgrade my headphones are.
Hi guys, I have a couple of questions regarding my recent purchase of a pair of AKG 371's.
Previously, I've used a pair of Logitech UE 6000's for years upon years. Back when they came out, the headset had pretty good reviews on /r/headphones, head-fi and some other individual reviewers. The cans were initially priced at $200 and were especially recommended for lovers of bass(like me). Kind of a "fun" pair of headphones, so to say.
Today is the first day I've tried my AKG's. I obviously need some time to get used to the new sound but I can already notice a couple of differences. The bass seems more subtle and lyrics in songs seem clearer(I assume these tones are mids and treble?). I can also feel tingles similar to when you listen to ASMR when listening to certain songs.
Which brings me to my first question; Are my experiences accurate as to what one would expect when going from my previous cans to these?
My next question is about what amp to use. Back in the day I bought a Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD... mainly because I needed an audio interface to plug my Behringer XM8500 microphone into. I've searched around a bit and to my understanding the headphone amp on this audio interface isn't that good. However, my AKG 371's supposedly don't even need an amp. Would I benefit off plugging my cans into this interface or should I just plug them into my MSI motherboard?
And if I use my MSI motherboard, should I fiddle around with the audio settings from the audio manager or will that screw with the "true" sound I'm supposed to be hearing from these cans? Here's a screenshot of my motherboard's audio manager.
Sorry for the big wall of text and thanks in advance for the help.
Budget: $100-$200 CAD
Looking for something to use with my desktop computer. Ideally wired connection. I like listening to blues music.
Are these a good deal? https://www.amazon.ca/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9?th=1 I don't really know what the specs mean.
Ah I see. Would $167 be a decent price for the k371? https://www.amazon.ca/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9
I play a mix of team based shooters with friends and solo RPG games. I use them at home so probably open back. Sound source is either the computer headphone jack or a pair of desktop speakers connected to the jack (sometimes I'm lazy)

Amazon is in someways like Ebay. Return policy is dependent on the seller. If you are buying from a 3rd party vendor, best to check their individual return policy. If you are uncertain, best to contact Amazon.
I have bought many headphones from Amazon as the seller, and I have returned a few that did not work well for me. And sometimes Amazon has free returns, which means free return shipping, such as is listed for the K371: https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9/
CAL ($50) or CAL 2 ($70). If you can stretch your budget you would be better served by the K371 on Amazon for $125 https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9 , Ebay for $118 https://www.ebay.com/itm/383285396209 or used for $90 at Guitar Center https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/AKG/K371-Studio-Headphones-Studio-Headphones-115986136.gc?
I also tried out some ANC headphones when I was making my decision. Ended up buying the AKG N700NC & the newer model AKG N700NCM2 to try them out. I liked the ambient mode and noise cancellation on both, but the technology can only do so much. I felt like the K371's did a better job at isolation when the ANC was turned on of the N700s. Also, the cabin pressure from ANC headphones plus the clamp was so annoying.
​
The K371s are so comfortable for me, I can wear them for hours and feel fine.
If you're willing to go a bit over budget, the k371 are all the rage right now https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9
Oh, then I definitely think you would like the K371.
Amazon currently has free shipping on returns for it. So you could buy it, try it (just don't rip the retail packing to shreds and don't scuff up the headphones), and return it if you don't like it, no cost to you https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Pro-Audio-Headphones-K371/dp/B07WZH7WM9/
