Question about open headphones for gaming.

I know that the ATH AD700s are highly recommended for gaming around here, but I was wondering if there were any open cans that were also good for gaming for a little less money, around the $50-60 price point. I received a Turtle Beach Ear Force DSS sound processor (with Dolby Digital technology, of course). I have a pair of Monster Turbines that I use for music and movies, but they don't work for gaming very well (headstage rather than soundstage).

 

So can you help me out with some recommendations? I've looked at the HD515 and 457, but I'm not sure what else to look at.

The Aurvana Live are closed, if you want open I guess you can try to find a used pair of Sennheiser 555, 515 might be good too but I don't really know much about this one.

Actually, they're $99 on Amazon at the moment (USA site) and the ATH AD-700s are actually $89, so I guess I'll just wait and get those next Wednesday. Thank you for your help though! :)
