That could be an option, what do you think about the audio technica m50x?

So you prefer bass and mids over other frequencies. In that case, the ATH-M50X would be a pretty good choice.

Will they also be good for gaming and hearing footsteps?

Buying headphones for better bass or highs is admitting they are flawed. Surely the best headphones are the ones able to most accurately reproduce sound through the whole range?

Depends on your style of music. Some people like a more subbass sound so their drums or the bass drop sounds better; some like a more emphasized mids and highs for clear trumpet sounds or opera voices.

Just ordered my ATH-M50X after seeing all the good reviews on amazon, thank you okcnaline for the reply!

If you want virtual surround sound through those headphones for gaming try the Razer Surround app that is free.
