D2000s should be the closest out of the 3 for being an all-rounder. Good bass extension and impact for gaming/movies, everything else is relatively flatter than the others for music. The HM5/FA-003s have this weird resonance in the upper mids that doesn't lend itself for some vocals. The DT770s though, would probably be more practical for everyday use, as it can be used at home or on-the-go, isolate a lot (the D2000s leak and let in some noise), have great comfort (pretty much equal to the D2000s though), the 80ohm version is easy to drive with a DAP (Again, reportedly equal to the D2000s in this respect, hell I tried them with an iPod and it worked fine enough). The DT770s are decidedly more bassy though, and with less extension overall from what I remember. Can't comment on the treble as I've almost completely forgot what the Beyer's treble sounded like (Everything else just drew more attention)..

I recommend checking out the Sony MDR-V6.  Very good soundstage, Great bass, and great as an all-rounder.  No amp required.  I prefer them over my HD558's (foam modded) for everything I listen to except Jazz.

 

I would definitely NOT recommend the ATH-M50's for ANYTHING, but especially not for gaming, as there is little to zero soundstage.  Unless you want to buy mine.  Then I do recommend them.
