Hello :)
 
Well after getting a cheap gaming headphone Steelserie 3h v2  about 1 years ago... I was getting tortured by that thing that seem no have no low end... And the mid sound like crap.  And it ways too small
 
 
 
So im looking to ugprade...   Just tweaked the crap out of the steelserie to make it sound ok and now it muddy but listenable.......
 
Read about the sennheiser gaming one the open design..
 
 
But i want bass + soundstage... And my hearing is sensitive to very high frequency a bit
 
 
 
I think the sennheiser would have a signature like the monoprice 8320 i have...  Pretty much mid and high only.
 
 
I like that for some music but for all around it aint good.
 
 
My Mee Electronic m-duo Seem to be good for everything but are a bit harsh with gun shot.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Any idea what kind of headphone under 250$ canadian would be good? Being looking at the m50x but they says soundstage is inexistant ?
 
 
i just want something good for Arma 3 to help myself not become crazy since developper put truck sound  and or wind noise in the background that make me always think something is coming but it aint..
 
 
I play ton of game too and expect to get a Oculus rift when it will be released.
 
 
 
 
Thank you :)

The dt990 has a nice v shaped sound you might like, the premium version comes in 32ohm and the pro in 250 ohm.

I like the pro head band more than the premium but the pros should be amped to get the best out of them.

Open will let the fan noise in a bit. Not relevant for music since your cpu and gpu should be down clocking at that time.

As for when gaming I could hear my 290x fan with my rig on the floor under my desk when I was using my hd650s during quiet parts of games. But that was a very loud card.. I hated it even after integrating it into my water loop; it was never stable but I digress. Open headphones and their increased sound stage and separation are nice for positional cues in game. I have dt770pro 250s and I notice a difference. And the senns or at least the ones I have aren't as good as other open headphones for gaming.

Yea those 290x   Was a reference ?    I only i have 2 7950  one of them is mostly 24/7 at 70% and it dual fan so it not really noisy.
 
But i just realised that after listening to music my ear seem to have reduced they sensitivity a bit so even without my headphone the fan arent really making noise
 
Well i all my life i had fan near me when sleeping so it almost part of the background of my room ahah
 
Ok great :)  Well i see on amazon they are the akg k240 for 130$  They are open.  Gonna google more :D

Well just realised open back probably cant really produce bass.
 
So m50x may be one of my choice but they pricey at 200$ white 220$ black
 
poor steelserie  Im pushing the driver hard as crap with my corsair remote if i continue like that im gonna blow them up

This is not really accurate. There are open back headphones that have very nice bass my 650s for example or the dt990. Its all down to the manufacturer..
