Sennheiser HD598, got them right now and use for both gaming and music at the same time (music in the background when gaming) they are perfect.

Also if creme isn't your colour of choice, consider checking out the Sennheiser HD598SE (Special Editon) which are Black.

I am mostly going to play csgo with it and listen to some music at the same time. Which version did you get the closed or open one? Will i need a amp for the headphone?

(Highly) regarded headphones for gaming are AKG K601, K701, K702, Q701; Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X, AD900X, AD2000X; Beyerdynamic DT770, DT880, DT990, Tesla T1; Philips Fidelio X2; Sennheiser HD558, HD598, HD650, HD700, HD800.

These are mostly open-back because soundstage and imaging are my top priorities when looking for headphones for gaming, so I only know about a few closed-back ones.

How good they are for music, you'll have to find out for yourself as I seldom listen to music with the headphones I bought for gaming (AD700X, Fidelio X, Q701, DT990). I personally recommend Q701; it has a wide and deep soundstage, accurate imaging, and excellent detailing.
