I've also been wondering how much more detail the HE-500 has over the K702, as the K702 provides excellent resolution with its very touted dual layer Varimotion diaphragm
Best headphones for under £350-$500 that offer the most amazing sound stage for gaming?
I am asking for members views on what they would regard as the best headphones I appreciate that post but its just from one members views. I hope I dont come across in the wrong way

The AKG Q 701 (or K 702) is better, but you need to amp them.
Looking for advice on classifieds. I'm in the market for used headphones and am surprised by the high prices folks demand for even well used gear. Listening 1-3 hours a day for the few months they own the headphones and calling it near new, brand new, etc...
Is that simply how it works in this market? Is the gear of such quality that 200 hours in two months IS considered new?
Food for thought??
All Right so here this goes. I'm a new kid to the whole audiophile world and have barely scratched the surface the past two days. My budget is about $100-300, I think I can get a pretty good pair of headphones within that price range? I listen to Blues, Jazz (Ragtime, Big band, Bebop, Fusion) Classic Rock, Alt/Indie Rock, Funk, Folk, Dubstep, Latin music, and Disco so I'd like a pair that's all around not something too bass heavy. I'd prefer closed because I often find myself listening to music late at night when everyone in my house is asleep and they sometimes complain they can hear it(My family has light sleepers). Also I'd rather have save up a little longer and get better quality headphones then order lesser quality ones right now. So far I'm looking at: Sennheiser HD 598, AKG K702 and Audio-Technica ATH-M50S. Any help/recommendations would be much appreciated!
If you're not amping, I think its a great headphone for your musical taste, as long as you can get away with open. There are some other really good options amped but you're kind of adding at least $100 to your max, so I would go with the HD598; it'll be cheap enough you can get a cheap amp if you want. Its a very satisfying headphone. (You should be able to get it for about $200 from RazorDogDeals if you submit an offer to him on ebay or via email.)
