Why stop there. You don't even need any sound, or HD resolutions.

What is wrong with your Hd650 for games? There can't be to many headphones that are better then it.

Ultrasone HFI 580/780 but i'm sure this has been mentioned several times in the thread. I myself is currently in a lookout for an offer for this headphone.

I'm guessing it'll be DT880 as many people have pointed out. Also Auzentech Forte vs Asus Essence STX as a soundcard? Many people have been saying that the Forte better for gaming, but I was wondering if Dolby Live (Forte) or Dolby Headphone (Essence) is better for gaming and movies?

According to the discussion in the following link: Forte wins it for games while the STX wins it for music.

Auzen Forte vs ASUS Xonar Essence STX - Page 2 - XtremeSystems Forums

So, if you really are going for a gaming setup, the Forte may be your best bet. It's also cheaper, if that matters to you.

Here's a review that does direct comparisons(the review seems to support the forum discussion): Elite Bastards - ASUS Xonar Essence STX PCI Express sound card review

I have no advice for headphones beyond what I mentioned in my previous posts. I admit I'm curious about what others will say though.
