I'm trying to figure out which headphones is best for gaming and watching movies. I mostly watch action movies and play games like csgo, bf4, LoL, and etc.
 
Im stuck between which headphones to get. I see alot of people leaning to hd598 over the m50x for better gaming and don't know why exactly. But I see a pro cs player using an ath-m50x for cs and hd598 for other things... trying to figure out which one is the best and need your opinon and advice.
 
Both headphones i can get for about the same price.
 
side questions:
possible to play dd5.1 and dts sounds to my headphones having that surround sound from my computer? I watch blu ray/dvds on my comp.
 
I'm planning to buy a used asus xonar essence stx for my headphones. But is that a overkill should i just get the asus xonar dgx instead for $30-50?

I'm sorry to say I don't have either set and I can't really help at the moment, but I have a pair of M50x coming Wednesday from Amazon. I can plug them into my Astro mixamp on PS4 and get back to you in a few days once I've tried them out if you'd like.
