I can see the viewpoint of Havoctzu as the best headphones used for gaming should have a large sound stage, which helps to hear ambient sounds in games (i.e foot steps). From what I've read and seen, open back headphones seem to be the best choice although it would affect the bass (not as much thumps). I think the best bang for your buck would be the Sennheiser HD 598 open back headphones. I own a pair myself and it's great for music and gaming. There are plenty reviews on youtube that mention the benefits of owning these headphones. The cost is 169.98 us dollars, which converts to 221.99 cad dollars.

Zeos is a well known headphone guy and talks about a variety of headphones to use for gaming ranging from cost effective to pricey. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63BxrNuXnYg&t=21s
Hopefully that helps you a bit.

suby4meYeah I understood that and if one day I have enough money I'll buy those HD800S
But I didn't understand why he recommended me some headphones that are way out of my budget

HaVoCTzuI understand that, but I'm not searching for the best pair, just something sufficiently good
One day I'll have those 800S on my ears, but it is way too pricey

AwokenBoiYeah, I think its more of the journey of getting to that point with the HD800. I understand that at this moment you don't want to spend too much which is understandable. I can see Havoctzu's point, they already went through the spending on different headphones till their end game was the HD800. I believe it was just his/her way of saying that if you could, save for the HD800 if you do not need to own a pair of headphones at this moment. With the possibility of saving until you can get it. However, if you do need it at this moment then the options mentioned before are good. The examples Zeos gives in his videos will help as well. I saw that the Sennheiser Jubilee are up to join and those are pretty good headphones from the reviews I've seen. I think those will probably be the best option (even long term) when compared to the ones I mentioned. I don't think you can go wrong, especially with that price.
The next step would probably be an amp / dac : )

suby4meThe GSP 600 with the GSX 1000 is my best alternative solution. Notice: the GSP 600 sounds shitty when using my other dacs.
