akg 240 or seinhessier hd 280 For Gaming?
Hey guys I am looking for some good gaming/ music headphones.I have the chance to buy the akg 240 from Craigslist brand new for 50$ and a new senn
hd 280 for 65$ but I might have to bid higher since he is holding it for another guy.My budget now is 100$ should I go for one of these headphones the pricing seems like a steal.
How long are headphone cords I want to connect it to my Onkyo receiver as a amp but I am going to be sitting almost 8-10 feet from the receiver if I extend the wire would I get less audio quality.

I believe the 240's are studio monitor cans.. If so, they will be very acurate, with no colorization, analyitcial, lean, & a bit on the cold side.. Studio monitor cans don't make fun gaming headphones IMO.. & AKG's aren't bass heavy..

Oh man. $100 is so close to being enough for HD580's if you get a good deal. And HD580's are awesome for gaming! You'll be the coolest kid on the block

Audio Technica A700 or AD700. Punchy bass and all-around sound quality plus dynamic range/soundstage for gaming.

Amazon has them. Open headphones generally sound better in every aspect, in Audio Technica's case the closed models have more bass and less of everything else. Closed headphones are designed to not leak and isolate your ears from the outside. In some cases however they don't isolate as well as they stop leakage, as is with the A700.

Reach for the HD 580's. They are such an exceptional value. You won't be sorry. Geo
