I believe that at that price range most people are going to recommend these.

I know that they sound really good and a lot of people like them.

Please no. They are not worth what they're asking for that. $60 less and they're a good deal. Unless you just have money to burn and don't care for what you get for your money :P

Sennheiser always has something decent. I'm not going to recommend You one since i am an audiophile.

I Just can't recommend a product that i'm not satisfied with.

Open cans are generally really comfy and sound great. The ATH-AD500X and HD558 would be nice for gaming due to their wide soundstage and accurate mids/highs. Beyerdynamic DT990 if you want a ton of bass (some people think it adds to "immersion") but you might have to hunt to keep it under budget, and depending on impedance might need an amp.
