I could either get the 558s for $87 or get the 700Xs for $85. I like to say gaming is the most important thing but it's not worth it if I'm sacrificing comfort and qaulity of music.

700X (kinda sacrifice confort if you don't like the flappy things on your head, in which case the 558s are a better choice).

AD700x is a bass light headphone, bigger soundstage though

 

HD558 is generally more likeable because it has a pretty neutral sound

So would you say 558s are worth the smaller sound stage

Sure. Let's not get carried away with soundstage, they're both headphones.
