Like most people are saying, Sennheisers are the way to go. I used HD380 pros forever and loved them. I've been accused of wallhacking many times using them. Now I'm using the PC38x's and while I wasn't in love with them at first, they grew on me. I still think my HD380's are my absolute favorite, but they don't make them anymore.
Closed back headphones are great for somewhat noisy environments, while open back will give you a better sound stage at the cost of being able to hear things around you.
I would recommend against getting the Game Zero's though. They sound harsh and are tuned for FPS games, but basically the higher frequencies are just turned up to hear footsteps or bullets I guess. I didn't really like them.
Good Luck!
