I haven't personally heard the Pro 80, but my guess is they aren't the best for gaming since they're closed and have a smaller soundstage. 

Their sound signatures are definitely not the same, but both are good headphones for gaming. From what I've heard from reviews the bass isn't as nearly in your face on the SR850 compared to the poratpro/sportapro, but I don't own either Koss headphones so I can't be certain. The SR850 aren't as...

I wouldn't get the AD700 unless you plan to use them only for competitive gaming because they are pretty bass-light. I would also get the AntLion ModMic instead of the Zalman clip-on mic because it's right next to your mouth and will pick up your voice much easier. You can get velour ear pads...

Here's a graph comparing their frequently responses:http://www.headphone.com/learning-center/build-a-graph.php?graphID%5B0%5D=3301&graphID%5B1%5D=2661&graphID%5B2%5D=&graphID%5B3%5D=&scale=30&graphType=0&buttonSelection=Update+Graph

The Samson SR850 (Superlux HD668B) have the same sound signature of the AD700, but with a smaller soundstage and more bass, with way better extension. They also sell for $50 retail.

Headphile.com can completely mod your Grado SR80i up to an RS1i for $300.

Microsoft execs cried themselves to sleep last night.

But he wants some bass slam for single player, an aspect where the Q701 smashes the AD700.

The AD700 has virtually no sub-bass though, so it's a no-brainer.

Q701 hands down.

Basically, amping gives headphones more power to run to their full potential, unless you're using something that already has much more power than on-board audio and mobile devices.

That's why I'll be gaming mostly, possibly exclusively on PC because of DRM, used game fees, etc. because games are so much cheaper, plus you get better performance to boot.

It seems like both Tapatalk 2 and HD won't let me post anything more than a few words.
