From personal experience:
Grados Sr-60
Grados iGrados

From light, but biased by brand loyalty, experience:
Denon AHD301k

From what I have read:
Sennheiser PX 100

If you can stretch your budget a lot, while I have not heard them, they are supposed to be the meca of $100ish gaming/music headphones.
Audio Technica ATH-A700

Currently I use AKG and Beyerdynamic headphones for gaming, however i cannot vouch for the lower end models. Additionally remember to stay away from Bose and skullcandy, while they would not be bad if they were really cheap headphones, they are overpriced and way over hyped.

I'll agree with that list, with the exception of the iGrado. The SR-60 are quite nice, and are absolutely stunning for the price. However, the iGrado is not worth it at all, and have a completely different sound from the rest of the Grado line.
