Destiny beta is back up early! I'll be on the Xbone this time. If anyone wants to add me, my XBL name is the same as my name here. We'll go have fun killing aliens together. <3

Thank you all for your recommendations!
Hopefully I will be able to try the hp200 and he400i in china once my wife and I finish our move. It's good to know that the he400 really isn't TOO heavy and i read that the he400i should be even lighter.
I still have never tried the suspension style of headband that the x1 and akg headphones have so I'm not sure if they would fit me well.
I agree with MLE, I hate pleather because it makes my ears swear, but then again I'm in Houston next month I will be in a city that averages winters of -20 F so maybe I won't mind pleather so much.

Free copy of Hitman: Codename 47 on Steam for the first person to claim it.

Agent 47 is one if my favorite game characters of all time. I really hope Square Enix announces a next gen Hitman, soon.
Agreed. I adore the Hitman franchise. Can't wait for the next generation of stealthy gameplay to get here. I'm craving the new tactical squad-based Rainbow Six something fierce.

Maybe I should check out the latest humble bundle... I just have so many of those games already...

I buy pretty much every bundle. They support good charities, GamesAid and Make-A-Wish this time, and I usually get some games out of it as well. I get a lot of duplicates so I usually pass out the codes when I can.

I usually do too. This time though, I'm $13k in the hole (hooray, home ownership!). And I have a pretty hefty backlog of previous HB games. And there are like a zillion good games coming out starting in Sep.
Man I'm glad I have a sweet headphone setup for all this gaming. Thanks again, MLE, Evs, Axel, Change, Chico and everyone who's been helpful in this thread! My wallet and wife hate you, but that's okay.

You're very welcome, Stillhart. Glad you are enjoying the experience. I think I deserve the most hate, though
So, what are your plans with the M-Stage now that you are loving the 15?

Interesting thread, i have followed through the last year or so, and I saw here the best headphone for gaming had several hypermarkets, there were some months of MA900, the month of X1, the month of K612, Q702 and now HP100/200 ..... Which will be the next best headphone for gaming?

Ha! You think this thread has an influential hypermarket? Try the "Discovery" thread...

I don't want spend more money swimming on hyper beach, i'm quite satisfied with fantastic MA900/Mixamp/C5amp. Now my next mark will be something like HD800 for gaming/movies/music, has anyone played with them, what's the opinion?
I think Fegefeurer has owned the HD800, he's in here every few days. From reviews, I'd bet that the soundstage and competitive advantage would be great, but gun sounds could get fatiguing and you might get frustrated with how the bit-quality of games kinda "caps out."
I'd like to add that the MA900 was great, I really liked some parts of it (and some part of me is still looking for magical mids like that again), but it didn't replace my q701's and shared similar strength's as what I went to the AD700 for. These DT880 are god-mode analytical, but they lack too much mids and I don't think they'll stay. I still have my Q701, I also picked up the K712 as a refinement of that formula, but I respect the K612 and if I was budget crunched and had to start over I would first buy a K612 as an all-around headphone. The HE-400 never caught on for my tastes.

I'm telling you, Ev! You really should give the HP100 a try... or even the new HP150.
P.S. Stop holding sentimental value and put up some of that gear for sale, already!

I don't think HP100 can beat A700x.
