Has anyone used both of these headphones for gaming? I am trying to find the best gaming headphones and I think I have boiled it down to these two.
I have a "Sound Blaster Z" PC sound card that can supposedly drive 600 ohms. I currently have the AKG Q701 and I am mixed about how i feel about them for gaming. I also have tried the AD-700 but found the lack of base to only compliment competitive FPS games. I have read other forums about how many prefer the 880 pros for gaming saying it gives a solid base but has an excellent sound stage as well (best of both worlds). I am looking for the best overall gaming headphones - not just FPS (which is why i don't want the AD700)
I have not found a forum that has fully answered my questions about the 880 pro and 990 pro in comparison for gaming. Which has a better sound stage? I know the 990s have a V shape sound with a stronger base and louder highs. But will that take away from sound stage? If anyone has used both of these HP, or has knowledge as to which may be better for a gaming experience, please help me decide - it would be much appreciated.
