Headphoneus Supremus
The Senn 555s & 595s have been replaced with the 558s($145) & 598s($175), both newer and better sounding.
You can get the Sennheiser HD 558s and do the black rubber tape removal modification (void warranty) which improves the bass.
OR
Get the Samson SR850 and/or the Panasonic RP-HTF600-S (with Beyer EDT 200 Velour pads).
A cheap way to improve sound and gaming is to get the Asus Xonar DG (PCI)
Comes with a half-way decent headphone amplifier, rated to 150-Ohms
Also comes with Dolby Headphone 5.1.
SR850 + RT-HTF600-S(Velour pads) + Xonar DG, in USA for all three would be about $135
