Required only for gaming no mic required , should be very comfortable currently I'm using Audio Technica T-500. It would be sourced from US.
 
since you are using AT's you will love the sound signature of M50. i haven't personally tried this but online reviews said these are comfortable.
you can go and test by yourself before buying. Limited edition of these observed to be too tight by few.
 
Dinesh, get the ATH-M50 - super comfortable and sounds damn good for gaming, movies and music. Amazing sound signature and the cans open up after burning in. IMO a better and comfortable pair of cans for this low a price is not available elsewhere at the moment!

Amazon link - http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U

And please get a basic entry level sound card such as the Xonar DG. Complements the headphone nicely and makes a good deal of difference from the onboard sound. Pristine Note is selling the card for a good price. Get it locally with warranty. Link - http://www.techenclave.com/community/threads/asus-xonar-sound-cards-dg-dx-and-stx.108075/
 
No i want straight one's since i sit a bit far from monitor.

Also i read that the headphones are bit tight and not too mcuh comfortable
 
If the only problem with the ATH-M50 is the coiled cable, search for M50S which is the same model with a straight cable. The straight cable ones are currently at 107$ shipped by amazon which is the lowest price ever.

The M-80 have very good reviews and it will come below 70$ after discount but they are on-ear type. The M-100 are over-ear type and will also come under 100$ if you can get the discount, but reviews mention that they tend to be a bit bass heavy and also somewhat uncomfortable in the long run due to their clamping force.

The level of comfort varies from person to person and the duration of usage. I had recommended the M50 to a colleague sometime back, plugs the headphones to the laptop through the FiiO E7. He has not specifically mentioned any discomfort in using the headphones over a long period. He had recently completed Bioshock Infinite after a couple of playthroughs FWIW.

i had used with Fiio E17. For music, its worth but watching movies or gaming kinda feels uncomfortable because of the tension.
sweats within half an hour.
 
Get AD700, they are very good gaming headsets due to it's large soundstage and exceptional comfort for long wearing hours.

Pair it with Xonar DGX as these do benefit a lot from it.
 
^^ But they are a bit bass light. I have heard them. Exceptional comfort and soundstage but average bass at best.
