As Cruel said, the Astro A50s are really great. I didn't think going wireless would be as nice as it truly is.

That said, I got a pair of HD598s recently, and I've taking to using those when I game sometimes if my Astros aren't fully charged or I'm too lazy to get up and get them off the stand. The Astros definitely have better directional sound (whether that's the headphones themselves or some magic with the mixamp, I have no idea), but the 598s still work great, so if you've got a pair of those already, it might be worth looking into Kermit's setup and making that work. I really like having the all-in-one solution of the Astros, but they are $300, which isn't a small chunk of change.
