I use the HD 518 when at my gaming rig but I occasional slip over to my brother's rig which uses the M-50x. Open-backed headphones help while gaming. Soundstage is first!
I use the AD900X headphones. I love them. The lack of bass isn't really a lack of bass, it's just tight, controlled bass. I love the big soundstage and the good imaging.
Going off-topic a little bit, I use the Aune T1 Mk. 2 DAC and amp combo with a Sylvania 6922 tube, and the AT2020USB microphone.
Usually Brainwavz HM5 for its comfort and isolation (my gf loves me for that).
But recently been using portapro if hm5 is too hot and also portapro... just sounds more fun
All that with e10k which is super great but tends to have its own problems too
I had been using HD700 but recently picked up MrSpeakers Ether. Both are overkill for gaming since most of your focus will be taken by the visuals and interaction.
When it comes to gaming I think comfort is far more important that sound quality, luckily both HD700 and the Ether have a great sound stage along with excellent comfort.
