While they are not bad, it is worthy to consider the DR150's, which are only about £46 on amazon right now. I do believe they sound much more than the £6-7 difference might imply.
This crossed my mind recently, mostly because of an accident that I was involved in. But how would guys cope if you suddenly was unable to enjoy the high quality gear you have brought? Especially headphones and amps.
For...
As a DR150 user myself, the sound quality is great, far better than most in that price range, but I don't really see them as gaming headphones.
The sound is to in-your-face to get the upper hand I find.
Sorry guys, I might not be able to come after all.
I have just been in a traffic accident, and I have minor head injuries which will take a little while to heal.
Buy something with a different sound signature. That sounds the simple problem here, you just don't like the sound. Everyone has different tastes.
An amp would help too mind you.
Towards the upper end, the M50 gets the most credit around here, but I am yet to have hear it.
You may get some people that say Grado SR60/80, but we get ripped off in the UK, so you might do better...
