I want a pair of headphones for gaming and some ipod listening. I listen to all types of music as well, pop, rap, rock, indie, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks.

+1 for the HD598 one of my all time favorite headphones. Love them to bits, still after 5 years
Thanks for the suggestions guys, what is the difference between the 598 and 558 if they have the same driver? Thanks!
How do Beyerdynamic DT990 compare to Sennheiser hd598?
DT990 come with a noticeable amount of more bass.
DT990 need to be used with a headphone amplifier, with the HD598 (and HD558) a headphone amplifier is optional.
I see, so If I were to choose to get the DT990 what would be a good headphone amplifier to get? Also, would the DT990 sound better than the HD598 with the same amplifier? Thanks for all your help.
For the record in spite of the 990's being 250ohm they are quite a bit more responsive than my DT880's. The result being I can use them on most sources without an amplifier. What the amp gets me is the ability to use any source, from very quiet DVD and Bluray movies, to heavy metal music.
The 990's are so good I don't even EQ them. They are lively, accurate, and even when they aren't flat (which they are mostly flat) it doesn't color the sound. I haven't heard the 558 so Ican't comment on the differences but I have several well regarded headphones and the 990's beat them hands down. Check my profile for a list of my gear if you want.
