Have a pair myself and don't regret the purchase, however, they are REALLY damn pricey for a set of gaming headphones, but they would be very tough to beat in terms of quality.
Senheiser was a pretty clear winner for me, having experience with quite a few of their excellent studio monitors, so I was willing to fork out for what I knew would be top notch headphones. As the author of the article says though, they are not bassy out of the box (game clarity being about midrange), you may have to adjust your EQ if you want more thump, which they do have a lot of, you just need to tweak your EQ.
