Same here! I just got mine and I am very happy with them (they are my first pair of decent headphones). I enjoy them especially when watching movies.

But I keep thinking: how would this sound on the 595s?

Go for either the ATH-A900s or the DT-770.

The bass out of DT770 goes deeper (not necessarily better) than the A700. However as it was mentioned earlier the DT770 do require an amp to sound at it's best or they will sound a bit underpowered. A700 has a bass that is tighter than the DT770 but doesn't go as deep. Soundstage between the both cans are close and exibits good amounts of detail.

Sorry guys, just did a price check seems like only the icemat, K81DJ and the ATH-500/700 is within my budget

Go for the 700's. You won't regret it.

Those Beyerdynamics DT770/80 are pretty good for gaming and music.

Whatever you do, don't buy yourself some nice headphones and then plug them into an onboard sound card

Sorry, I thought they looked quite nice too but they're over budget

Unfortunately, Im gonna plug them into my Realtek HD onboard. Though some people say it's better than SB Live. Take note it's their HD chips, not the normal ones.

from what i know bass is a no no for FPS games if your main priority is the accuracy of the sound rather than enjoying it. which makes me wonder how does the akg k501 work for games in that sense?
