Nah, I am completely new in gaming headphone department. But I fall after I heard with hd598. Then I start researching. But as I travel a lot, In ear will be best for me. How their sound quality compare say to hd598?

 
Never heard the HD598 to tell you the truth. However, I do own the HD600, HD650, HD700 & HD800
The Vsonic GR-07 MKII is somewhere between the HD600 and the HD650 with a smaller soundstage and slightly less microdetail.

GR-07 seems like a great choice. But now I am confused because there seems to be different versions with different price tags.

You'll want either the GR-07 MKII or if you're a basshead grab the GR-07 Bass Edition. Don't grab the classic as they aren't the same league as the two above

I was looking for a headphone for simple gaming and for music enjoyment, and I was stuck with the Ath-Ad700x, ad900x, Alg k612 pro, or Akgk712 pro.

Was looking at these, as they seem to be what I was looking for. Wide soundstage.

Removable cables are an option. And will the Fiio X3k be enough to run all these headphones?

I have a WHITE Sennheiser G4ME ONE something ELITE SPEAK here and it's definitely different from the PC 360. More clarity (very obvious), more extension down low and upwards with more emphasis on the bass. Bass is actually rather tight and punchy. So it's not a simple reskin but improved. 
 
Of course it's redundant for anyone using stereo headphones and addon mics but still good to know. RIGHT? 
 
I am positively surprised.

This seems awesome for those gamers who get mad and may throw their headphones around...

That sounds pretty awesome, actually. You'd think something like this would've been done YEARS ago, by some audiophile inventors/engineers.

Audio tech hasn't made huge leaps, as we are still using tech from early 20th century (other than many things going digital), which astounds me.

Whatever you do, stay far away from the Sony HW700ds if you care even the slightest about positional accuracy.  I don't really need "competitive" headphones, but I do like them to be at least relatively accurate.  These are the farthest away from accuracy as you can get.  Been playing Bloodborne over the last two days, and testing these just shows how worthless they are for anything other than stereo.  There are a lot of encounters that are like PvP fights and some multi enemy boss fights.  More often than not these headphones will have sounds that should be behind or slightly to the side, coming from front left or front right.  Anything that should be coming from the front is directly inside your head.

Sound wise they are good (for gaming or dialogue heavy shows, but NOT music), but they would get a -10/10 for accuracy.

All my gaming is done with virtual surround, as I mentioned on the first page. Dolby Headphone mainly, THX Tru Studio next, SBX just very recently (but now the main dsp used).

WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE IN PURE 192khz/24bit STEREO GAMING
