I'm sorry 'cause I made another thread earlier wondering about the AD700, but I've made a decision that I feel warrants a new thread of entirely different price range. To summarize, I spend a lot of my time gaming, but I also really like music and listening to commentaries. I'm using a Xonar DG, but can upgrade sometime soon. I'm not much of a bass-head, but I like at least some bass for some power behind the music. I mainly listen to classical and video game music (please don't judge) which is kinda peppy and rock-ish. I was looking at the AD900, what do you guys recommend for a set of headphones around this range (about $200)?
