That sounds like a headphone problem The Grado soundstage isn't very refined, you can read about it for hours here. IMO the lower end Grados (SR-60/80/125/225/MS-1) are the worst gaming cans ever. The 325i/MS-2/RS-2 has a slightly better soundstage, and the RS-1 has the best soundstage out of them all, but still isnt suitable for competition gaming IMO.

While you are at it, how about a dedicated gaming headphone?

Good ones to look at:
Audio Technica A500/700/900
Beyerdynamic DT-770 (80ohm)

Oh, and the standard Head-Fi saying: Sorry about your wallet.
