Any headphone will do when gaming, It doesnt matter what headphone you use. expensive headphones dont mean sh** with EAX/A3D since they make any bad headphone with no positioning at all act like it has many.
Consider that Positioning in games != positioning in music.
good soundstaging in ordinary music wont make you a better footstep/gunshot listener in CS, since most music is not recorded binaurally (in relation to your head/ears) like what A3D/EAX does on ambient noise when presented with a stereo source (e.g. headphones).
For practice, Try and listen to as much binaural recordings as you can.
I'd go with: Comfort, comfort for prolonged wear and isolation (nothing like extended games in a noisy computer shop, where taunting enemies is a profession.).
With 300 bucks i'd go with the HMD-280 (HD280 pro with a headset mic) or HMD-25 (HD25-1 with a headset mic)..
Both are closed and pretty much comfy, one is circumaural and one is supraaural to choose for where you're most comfortable..
