Hello. I am looking for best headphones under $100.
They should be closed since my computer is pretty loud but if they sound great I might forget about the sound of my computer.
So far it's between:
 

Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs Pro Studio


dbi Pro 700


Sennheiser HD 555 I bid but I don't think I want to spend more than 65-70 on them.

 
Which are better out of the dbis and ath-m40fs?

Will be plugging them into SupremeFX X-Fi card that came with my Rampage II Extreme motherboard.
Will be using them for video gaming and all sorts of music like electronic and hip hop. Mostly electronic like Baths, Mike Slott, Emancipator, Aphex Twin, Caribou. So I guess crisp sound with tight bass?

If you are a treble and clarity lover and don't mind a bit of bass light, the DBI700 is pretty awesome and built like a tank.  I guess they aren't $30 anymore?

I own the RX900, HP910, and DBI Pro700, and I used to own the HD555. I don't suggest using the HP910 and DBI without an amp. I don't think the DBI would be good for gaming. I don't suggest buying the RX900. The HD555 could be a good choice for open headphones. If buying Audio-Technica, I suggest considering the ATH-M50 for ~$100 - which may be your best option for closed headphones with your sound card.
