I think most will agree that the ATH-AD700 is one of the best options for gaming in that price range.

ATH-m50

http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/0edf909675b1be4d/index.html

$150 new, $100 used. I have them and they're really good. I'm also a frequent visitor to the head-fi site above.

the m50's soundstage is far too small for directional gaming.
Current sound setup OP?

Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro's

Haven't heard a better set of headphones for gaming. They have all the sound stage of open cans with something that open cans rarely deliver, bass; very fun headphone.

Music taste?
