I can't really speak to gaming on them, but the Senn HD-580s have a great soundstage for music especially considering you can get a used pair for ~$100. If you went that rout then you could afford a pretty good amp either a Little Dot II, PA2V2, or something like that depending on if you wanted...

If you like bass the...

I looked into using that cable, but most connectors are made for only 10 AWG wire or smaller

I remember reading an article somewhere that a lot of those Rent-a-Center type places were being investigated by states (I think it was NY among others) for deceptive business practices. It seems that they didn't tell people about a ton of charges, interest, etc. and were preying on...
