i have the HD202's if you like bass, you'll love these, they are very comfy, closed design, so no one can hear too much iraqi yelling on DC 
also have a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT311, but these are an 'open' design and so not entirely suitable for gaming
out of the 3 shortlisted i would definately recommend the HD202's

They have to have a really long input chord as the wire has to do a bit of a treck before it gets to the socket.
In this instance I thought wireless headphones would be better. But the last set I got (phillips ones, cant remember the model) were fairly heavy and felt like a couple of butchers blades resting on ya lugs after a couple of hours.

Stay away from wireless,
Its just another thing to put batteries in/charge, get one with a cable, if so buy an extender cable from currys/dixons

Soooooooooooo wrong I've got a pair of Sennheiser HDR 45's which are wireless. Aside from great sound quality, they charge off of the base unit when not in use 
Bear in mind that none of those headsets have mics if you were thinking of gaming at all...
EDIT: Ah, maybe you're right with that model, but check out the 130's

I know they're amazing (and prob 2nd choice for headphones. some bose ones coming in first =)) but had to stick to budget (spent a fair bit this month  ) and went with the 202's should be here within the week I reckon  _________________
