Drop has their very popular and very highly reviewed Sennheiser HD58X headphones on sale for $135. If you are a new customer you can get a $20 coupon when you create a new account to bring these down to $115. I have a pair and they are well worth the money. You will want to use a headphone amp with these to get the most out of them. I use a Schiit Magni with mine.

Compared to the other headphones I own or owned:
Philips SHP-9500 - I've had these headphones the longest and still own a set since they can't be beat for sound stage and makes a great gaming headphone (just attach a V-Moda boompro mic and off you go) but The 58X are the perfect upgrade. The 58X doesn't have the sound stage but they sound so natural and effortless in music reproduction. I now understand when reviewers say that the SHP-9500's sound grainy and thin. Compared to the 58X they are. I'll continue to sing the praises of my beloved SHP-9500's but when it comes to music I keep reaching for my 58X Jubilees.
Grado SR125 - These and the SR80s were my first bigger purchase when it came to headphones and they are treble and detail machines. It seems like as you climb the Grado product line the low end becomes more recessed and the treble becomes more harsh. The 58X is just smooth and relatively neutral (although the bass may be ever so slightly bumped up)
I own(ed) quite a few other headphones but couldn't put them in the same category for proper comparison.
In the end if you want one of the best headphones that doesn't require, but would benefit from, an amp get the 58X Jubilee's. If you have to have the best of the best you may want to spring for the 6XX as it is supposed to have slightly more detail. Just keep in mind you would likely also want to invest in an amp to make the best use of the 6XX which will likely run another $100 or more.
That's my two cents. I hope it helps someone.
1.) HD 58X has more sub bass and liveliness in the upper mids, while the HD 6XX has more of a dry, neutral sound.
For new enthusiasts, this is more of the signature they expect, and it will still be a big upgrade from most off-the-shelf headphones, computer speakers, and TV speakers.
2.) The HD 58X is easier to drive well.
Both headphones usually get "loud enough," but without including a DAC/amp into the HD 6XX's budget (so it's not really a $50 difference, I'd say it's more like a $150 difference so you can also get a good amp), the HD 6XX may actually sound more congested and veiled than the HD 58X straight from a tablet or smartphone.
With that said... once you get the gear that stops holding the HD 650 back, it has the smoother, cleaner, more refined sound that you can listen to for 8 hours and still enjoy it's more subtle but beguiling sound. I have the HD 58X Jubilee, HD 650 (= HD 6XX), and a bunch of other headphones.

But honestly, they are more alike than different. So it really does depend on your taste, assuming the cost doesn't matter to you.

Better sound stage and more comfy.
I'm looking to upgrade my hyper x revolvers that I've had for gaming/music for the last couple years.
I know online retailers have good return policies but I can't afford to buy 6 headphones at one to compare them side by side.

The PC37x is almost the same as the HD 598. I had both, did not see definitive info on whether the driver is the same, but to me they sounded identical. I also have the 6xx, which is way better than both. Since the 58x is almost at the level of the 6xx it will be better than the PC37x, but it depends on how picky your ear is.
The Fidelio X2 is way different, it has heaps of bass and exaggerated treble and is very energetic sounding. X2, 58x, and 6xx are all very good it just depends on your tastes and mood.
