I've gone with the DT770 pro and mod mic. I bought a cheap USB card to help alleviate any electronic interference from within my pc case.   The next motherboard I get will have a good audio solution, that is for sure!

I have the 240 mk ii and it is a great sounding headphone for music if you want a flat sound. For games it is very comfortable, but a semi open design, basically open IMO. It does lack bass as well. I really do like the value proposition of the cloud. Lots of accessories and having a good mic...

I have the M50X and I like what you are saying. They aren't the most comfortable though. The DT770s should be more comfortable, and I am a fan of velour.

This is the closed back version of that headphone, new release. Looks like they are winners paired with the modmic. The Hyper X Cloud 2 looks like the best gaming headset out now though. But I will get more use out of the 598 Cs.

Bump for DT770 Pro as another option. Any thoughts?

My trusty steelseries is biting the dust, having issues with reliability after a solid 2-3 years. I already have a modmic, but none of the headphones I currently own are very good for my needs while gaming (too "open" or uncomfortable for longer sessions). I have settled on any of the...

Got this little guy a few days ago. Amazing sound for its size. Really helped vs my integrated sound on both laptop and desktop. Even better than a $100+ sound blaster z sound card imo.

Thanks. I'll go K1, not gonna use this with my phone.

Is the Q1 the way to go over the k1 overall?

K1 or Q1, that is the question.   I really just want something that will isolate the sound outside my pc and laptop. Probably won't see much use on my phone, is there really any perceivable difference on sound between the two?

I'd be apt for this if I didn't have to buy my whole library again. And if it were true. I understand people want to hear more of their music, but this thing is a ripoff. Its the way so much of music is mastered and produced aka. the loudness war that has ruined music quality, not the file type.

I play arma and use a headset for it..often there is so much noise it becomes impossible to pick out where some things are happening. I own the AKG K240 mkii set for semi-open use for all sorts of music. Great sound at a very good price too. I am thinking of getting some 840s of my own for...

Maybe the 840s or something else. I did find the 440s uncomfortable now that I think about it.

Trying out my AKG 240 mk ii's today and WOW. Sound is responsive in all ranges. Smooth, clear bass. Excellent treble response and a crisp high range, but it isn't super full of bright sound, which I think some may or may not like. That said, I can actually listen to many of my favorite Miles...

I have heard there is no difference. If anything, the build quality has improved as far as I know.
