is there such thing as a pair of headphones that will be good for gaming, music, movies? i listen to a lot of bassy music but i can sacrifice some bass as long as i can still feel it. have a budget of 150 but will be willing to go up to 230 if they do all these things well.
 
priority:
gaming
music
movies
 
need:
soundstage
enough bass for immersion into games/movies (not a lot, just enough)
good when paired with dolby headphone
very clear sound
positioning
ability to let me hear every instrument
 
i don't think that a pair exists but if you guys have heard a pair that do all these things well go ahead and recommend.

Heya,
 
Fischer Audio FA-011 if you want more bass.
 
And it's under your budget. Plus, looks gorgeous with wood cups and everything.
 
Very best,

Heya,
 
They are wonderful for gaming and movies. I recently did a review of the AD700's with the FA-011's around, and it was just silly to use anything less than the FA-011 in that price tier. $118 (+$20 shipping from Russia). Anyone wanting less bass for FPS foot-step-competitive-listening can simply eq the bass down. Otherwise, it will handle bassy music, movies and normal gaming where you do want bass great. And again, they look wonderful and are comfortable. Another fun tid bit, they re-sell easily, so if for any reason you didn't like them, even if it's a year later, they'll sell in like 24 hours in the for-sale section.

also, would an astro mixamp be good enough to power these? i heard it needs a decent amp.
