If you want to get out the door with quality sounding stuff for as little as possible I suggest some of the rebranded Fischer FA-003's and either the DSS ( dont get a DSS2 ) or an Astro Mixamp.
A good quality set of neutral stereo cans and a DAC will sound LOTS better and have just as much immersion in my experience.
PS : Don't get a Mixamp from the astro website. It's $130 there with extortionist like shipping charges. Can be found on ebay NEW for $100 with free shipping or used for even less ( pretty sturdy, wouldn't be worried about buying a used one myself ).
Edit : And I say neutral because you might want to do other things with them. The FA-003's arent the best at anything but I genuinely feel them to be the closest you can get (at a reasonable price) to an all around usage set of cans without having to completely give up something in order to get something else.
If you KNOW you will only ever play games or listen to certain genres of music or ONLY watch movies then by all means get another set that are geared specifically to your usage.
