Headphone (Edm/gaming) confusion.
Purely from comfort I think the Fidelio X2 is the ONLY headphone you mentioned I would recommend for extended gaming sessions. Dont underestimate comfort if you plan to play long sessions.- Skar

Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
I had only a super short listening in a store in Bangkok so i wont comment on the sound besides that it was laidback. However, guys, comfort wise they were great. What good is great sound if the head/ears/whatever hurts after a few songs.- Skar

SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread
I got SRH1540 pads on the HP100. I removed the old pads and loosened the screws a few turns, just to have a little more space between speaker plate and ear cup. very comfortable result, however some highs seem to be gone. Ok, maybe that statement was over the top, lets just say i remember...- Skar

AKG K812 Pro
Entirely focusing on comfort: It felt a tad lose and a tad heavy. Clamping force was similar to other AKG (i own a k702 as reference) but due to the weight it almost felt like the headband could easily slip towards the back or the front. This was very apparent as I tried it in a...- Skar

Looking for Upgrade from the HD598.
