I have a quick question. I recently purchased an astro mixamp and I'm looking for a good headset for mostly gaming (80%), movies (15%) and music (5%). I've done a far amount of research on the internet but have been unable to actually try these headphones and since it seems like some people have tried them was wondering what there suggestion would be? I have narrowed my choices to Senn HD595, AKG K601 and Beyer DT 880. I have found them sold for within $30 of each other and prices is not a problem I'm asking on performance only. Also for the movies and music I could power them through my onkyo receiver. Thanks for the help.
