I will be using the headphone for gaming, music and movies. What is your opinion guys? Does it worth paying another 100 USD to get HD 595 or should I just bought HD 555 instead.

You should think of it this way... am I prepared to pay a pretty big amount of money to get audiophile sound.
You should (must) check your local guitar shop and listen to some cans to see which you like best and to find out how much money you want to spend.
If your demands aren't very high, then the 555's are okay, and certainly better than most of the philips and panasonic headphones...
Comfort is really good as well.
If you feel that audiophile sound is worth the experience (which most of us believe), you will eventually get the 595's anyway. In that case... you might as well get them now. You can't do alot wrong buying them; think of it more like an investment
Remember, they will probably be overkill for your current transport or pc soundcard. If you do have an onboard (non-separate pci card) or an audigy 2 soundcard, I would really recommend getting another soundcard. I couldn't really believe how bad the audigy sounds myself... upgrade at least to one of the better x-fi cards (do a search on that), a Chaintech AV-710 or another Envy based card with better drivers (like the prodigy) or an EMU 0404 (which sounds best but isn't ment for gaming).
Btw, in the same price range you have the 580's which might be something to look into before you make a final decision. Again, try to listen to some headphones and trust your own ears instead of blindly following someone's opinion though.
Anyway, you shouldn't have asked that question in this thread. You were lucky I was willing to help you out a bit
