Hi everyone,
 
I'm looking forward to buy a new pair of headphones, i will use them for music, movies and gaming.
 
Let know if you need something more.
 
 
Thank you,

open or closed back?

For gaming you'll probably want to make sure there is a microphone built in. I would assume most people would prefer a closed-back headphone unless otherwise stated (simply because open headphones leak sound). Based on this assumption, I would have a look at this pricenfees article. I would agree with most of the suggestions on that list. You stated your price range was $80-$100 but if you can throw in an extra few bucks I would have a look at the akg k545's. They're some of the best sounding headphones for the price, they are comfortable and the detachable cable comes with a mic.

  open or closed back?

 
I'm yet to decide, open would give me a more natural sound but i don't want the person next to me to be able to hear it all...

ah no you don't want a microphone built in, gaming headsets are absolutely terrible. You would want to buy a separate mic attachment for gaming

open backs are generally the best for positional audio and a better soundstage. I would have recommended the k612 for overall great sound, clarity without being fatiguing, large soundstage, and a clean neutral bass. The hd598 is a good option too but if they were the same price I'd go with the k612 any day.

You might also look into the ATH-AD700--it is a very solid choice for gaming and the price is attractive right now. It's easy to add a mic.
