Best gaming headphones for under $200?

[ProtoflareX]

Hopefully some of you audio experts can help me out here. I am looking for the best gaming headphones possible for under $200. I am not looking for headphones that will allow me to hear the footsteps of people in FPS games. I want something that will create the most immersive experience possible when playing horror / fantasy games, such as Metro Last Light / Dragon Age Inquisition, or even something like Farcry 4. In addition, I would like something that emphasizes music quality when playing games with high quality soundtracks. To my knowledge there are 3 "rivals" in this price range, which are the ATH-M50x's, the Sennheiser HD598's, and the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro-250's. Are those the 3 that I should choose from? If so, can you guys help me choose one based on my preferences? The headphones will be hooked up to an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card.

HyperX Cloud. No doubt. Great sound quality and at a geat price (around 75 bucks)
