Two that come to mind are the BeyerDynamic C1Pro or Custom Studio or the AKG K553mkII
The 553mkIII is slowly starting to show up in western markets, but I haven't come across any reviews for them yet, so I don't know what changes were made.
There's also the MSR7. They're nice for the price, but I find their sharpness too fatiguing for gaming beyond an hour or two.

Assuming you don't have an amp:
Closed - DT 770 Pro 80 ohm or AKG K553
Open - Fidelio X2HR
If you have a Guitar Center near you, they should have the DT 770 and K553 for you to demo. They also have the Audio Technica M50X, but I personally didn't like them. I think they're supposed to have the X2HR too, but my local location didn't have it available.
The X2HR and K553 are very easy to drive (also detachable/replaceable cables), and you should be okay with the DT 770 Pro 80 ohm even without an amp.
