In that case just get a decent set of over ear headphones. A lot these days even have a mic built in if you need one.

The only thing that may be different about "gaming" headphones is more design consideration to long term comfort and a mic. All over ear ones will be good at sound isolation.
These Sennheisers are popular:

But I would go for the Bose Soundtrue for that money

I used a pair of Steelseries 650 headphone for a focus group play test and they were like wearing a pillow, it was amazing. But they're not really what you're looking for.
