I generally use my HD 650s for gaming even though my HD 598s have a wider soundstage. Something like the AKG 712 or the Massdrop K7XX ( same as the 712 but cheaper ) would be a good choice. Maybe the Philips Fidelio X2.

hmm maybe its just my model but the HD650s are the worst for gaming, cant hear noone walking next to me, compared to the DT990s

1990 Pro? You look at my other recommendations? The soundstage on the K712 / K7XX is legendary. Another pair of DT 990s?
