Oh I see. I'm a complete noob when it comes to these high end headphones but I'll definitely look into all three and see if i can make sense of any of it. It is 5 am here though so Im off to sleep. Thank you so much for your very helpful insight. Excited to get my first pair of real headphones
 
 

If you think these are high end, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Oh and if you need it, I do have a review comparing the HFI-580 and M50.

 I always see the ath-ad700s on here recommended for gaming. My brother just got them (I'll convert him yet) so I'll test them out and maybe give you some thoughts?

Sennheiser HD555s are available quite cheap on Amazon. You can do the foam mod to convert them to HD595s. There are threads about which headphones to buy already. Look into them.

At this point I'd recommend just lurking about for a few weeks.  Clicking on random threads and looking through the headgear section of the site.  I know you lack the patience, but at this point it would do you very good to take a look at that section.  The Audio-Technica AD700s seem to be widely recommended for gaming.  Considered very comfortable...
