So the AD700's would suit me better than Senns or Beyerdynamic's? They are also really cheap, which is always a good thing.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jaawa Well, I'd say for gaming the PC 350 is strong, because they're closed, they use HD 595 drivers so they sound good, the mic is better than any competition, since it's Sennheiser's speciality. They give you the best gaming experience where it matters...

Any other opinions?

I can always hook up a microphone to another set of headphones to make it into a headset of sorts. Thanks to KBI, i am leaning toward the Beyerdynamic DT 880's because not only have I read that they are amazing (as are all of these headphones), but he recommended it and has been trustworthy...

Hello all and welcome to my thread. I am in the market for some headphones to use while gaming on my PS3. I have narrowed the choices down to a few, and I would like to hear your choice and why. Originally, I planned on purchasing the Senn 595's, but the rest were added to the list due to...

Okay. I will check with them as soon as I sell my drum set and funding becomes more... available.

So, according to this Amazon.com: Help*>*Returns*>*Product Specific Policies*>*Electronics I could purchase the Senn 595's and the Audio Technica's from Amazon and send the one I like less back?

I've officially decided on the 661 receiver, and I would like to know every person's opinion on headphones. I am looking at the Senn 595's and some Audio-Technica headphones, any info?
