I currently own a pair of superlux hd668b that i use for gaming and listening music. For gaming I play majority FPS but like other genres as well but soundstage is big for me for positional sounds. Also, my prefered genre for music is hip hop. I've been looking to buy some AKG K612PRO and i really like the design but dont really feel comfortable dropping that much on headphones unless i will see a great deal of improvement from my current set, and I also was looking at sennheiser hd 558 headphones.Im using an astro mixamp with the headphones and a modmic 4.0
 
So what I want to ask of the headfi community is the AKG worth the money, are they significantlly better than my current set? Are the sennheiser better? 
 
Im also open to other suggestions for headphones and if there are any websites, that sell headphones discounted besides amazon? 
 
I would like to note that I bought my superlux after reading threads about them from here a while back/

I feel the K612 Pro is a bit dry and analytical for hip hop. I feel a warmer can may be better suited. The HD558 would probably be a better fit for you. Never heard the Superlux. Both the K612 and HD558 are excellent gaming cans.

I actually narrowed my search down using your guide. Do you think an astro mix amp, would be enough to drive either of these headphones. And it will mostly be used for gaming with occasional music.
