Hey everyone, I bought my Sennheiser HD 600s about 4 months ago. My friend was leaving to study abroad and wanted the Senn 600s but could not get the good price from ordering the online because he didn't have the time to have them shipped because he was leaving so soon. He offered me $240 (the exact price of replacement) for the Senn 600s and I agreed. I miss my HD600s but realized that since 100% of my listening comes from the computer, the HD600s aren't really that good of a choice because of the amp requirement. Right now I'm looking for the best headphones for gaming. My budget will be the same as the Senn 600s, so around $240.
Is sealed better than open for games? The game in question is Counter-Strike. I want to be able to hear all the ambient noises and at the same time I want good bass, something that the Senn 600s did not provide most likely due to the lack of an amp. I've been looking at the Beyer series but each headphone seems to get such mixed reviews. As far as music is concerned, I mostly listen to pop and alternative/rock. Comfort is also a big issue with me, the Senn 600s were always comfortable and I would like to find something similar. So my #1 priority is games, after that is mp3s on the computer. BTW, I have a Terratec DMX 6 FIRE sound card which also as a headphone jack with a mini-amp. All replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
