I love my HE-500 but the comfort might get to you if you will be in for some long sessions. It's also a less than ideal soundstage presentation for gaming IMO. I've not heard the 660 yet but I didn't think the HD650's were great for gaming. If gaming is your primary aim you may want to look outside of these three. I use a Phillips X2 with a Vmoda Boompro mic, it's super easy to drive, comfortable and has a decent soundstage. A little more low end response than competitive FPS players may want but I enjoy it.

born2relaxI doubt you will find anyone taking hifiman over sennheiser for comfort purposes. I've owned two Hifiman over-ear headphones and they definitely rank quite low in comfort. My HD650 however ranks quite high on the comfort front. I just think the 500 sounds better than the 650 for most genres. Keep in mind the 500 is best enjoyed with roughly a 1 watt or so of power.
