Best Headphones for competitive gaming?

[manclarkb]

So I am looking to change my headset setup for gaming. I am going to purchase a Blue Snowball microphone and I would like a great pair of headphones to go with it. My budget is around £80-£120 ($100-$160). As I play competitive FPS games, soundstage is something very important to me. I also don't really mind if they are open back but prefer closed. Which headphones would you recommend?

Honestly for great sound I would go with Sennheiser HD280 pro 99.95 at musician friend and they have the snowball for 99.99. I use the Sennheiser for recording and music and have the Blue mic they are great for gaming as well.
