Sure high end, let us look at the cheapest option then: Sennheiser HD 800, but with those you kinda need to be ready to drop 500-2000$ on a DAC and amp, since they are very picky. You could also get idk focal utopia, they are "only" going to cost you 4000$. 

Let's look at the mid-range. Here you can basically go from headphones that cost 150$ and all the way up to 800-1000$ and everything between.

 

So why don't you give a budget instead of that other BS. 

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

I guess he wants 3, a budget, a mid, and a high-end. But if, then why dont just get a high end and leave the other sh*ts?

In all honesty you dont need $400+ headphones for gaming. Just buy a pair of ath ad500x. Great soundstage and very comfortable which make them a great choice for gaming
