Money is a tight at the current moment, and I'd really like to have a new pair of headphones for music and a new headset for gaming, but I can't really afford both, so I was wondering what would be the best headphone for gaming and listening to music (Mainly rock/alternative). I only have ~$300 to spare for headphones, clip on mic, and soundcard. So far the main things I have found that are said to be the best are:

Unfortunately, I've also found that none of them are very good for rock/alternative. So, what of these headphones would be the best, or, if not these, what headphone?
