I'm basically asking which is the best price/performance

[EmoRarity]

None of those? 
Something like the SE-A1000 (If in America) would be a better value.

I would prefer closed back and I don't like that style

 

EDIT: I don't mind open back

Well he used a Canadian Amazon site so I assume he's in Canada. Why not the Sennheiser 558 with the ModMic?

 

EDIT: If you want closed backs, the ATH-M50x looks good.

One, because the HD518 is a better headphone...Two because he has now clarified that he wants closed, not that closed is going to do him well for gaming but w/e. 

Which leads me to recommend the SRH440's or M40x, SRH440 being the better option for pad options.

I prefer the 558 over the 518/598 because I prefer the sound of the 558 and it doesn't look ugly compared to the 518 and the 598 (the 598's looks are subjective though).

[Senor Potato]

Ok I change my mind open or closed I don't care they both seem to have advantages.

Do you live in a noisy environment like a subway?

No, suburbs

[EmoRarity]

No, suburbs

They open will be a better option, at which point, HD518 again. 

Edit, and I just remembered, friend is selling a pair with two cables for $60. 

[Senor Potato]

Also I have g930 currently so do you think it is actually worth the upgrade, I do like having good audio quality

[Senor Potato]

518 vs 558? They are both open right?

The whole 500 series is, but they all measure and sound the same, with the HD518 being the stick in the mud with slightly more bass.

So 558s are 40$ more, still better to get 518s?

Depends on how you value money, if you feel like have the prestige of a more expensive headphone. Go for it, the HD518 represents a better value. And you can here asking for a value, so I am pushing the value.

I have the HD 558, and so far I am really happy with them. Generally Open Headphones have a better sound-stage compared to closed headphones.
