Just some commonly recommended headphones:

Audio-Technica ATH-A700
Audio-Technica ATH-M50
Beyerdynamic DT770/880/990

I would also recommend a good sound card if you don't have one already.

Something a little cheaper maybe? Just to see what's worth the money, and yes, I've got a Asus Xonar now which someone recommended me here some weeks ago

There are the Ultrasone pro 550/650 and the HI-FI range too. Take a look at the 20th anniversary edition Ultrasones, apparently they're significantly cheaper, different coloured version of the pro650s.

The HD598/558's are pretty good for gaming and music. Not bass heavy though.

If you can afford the Beyerdynamic DT770's, I would definitely recommend them, but its all up to budget.
