HELP ME BUYING MY FIRST SERIOUSLY HEADPHONES!!!

The best for gaming would be the M100 for the bass they have and are a robust headphone. I bought my son a pair for his PS4 and he loves them. I had a pair for 3 years and still are holding up well.
For the best sounding ones from your list would be the X2 but they are open back and everyone around you will hear what's going on. I stand behind the M100 if only 10 percent is going to be music.

sorry for my mistake
 
I would have sayed that "open back" headphones that theorically are supposed better for gaming and other tasks, because they usually have better sound or stage if your prefer (according to I have read in forums like this one)
 
I dont mind if I have no isolation, so I think that finally will take Fidelio x2 and vmoda mic

IMO Open back does have better soundstaging, but usually only for music. In games I find that positional audio may be better on closed backs. I could be wrong, maybe that's why I suck at FPS games.

I'm going to recommend the M50x also, save some buck compared to getting, let's say the HD600 or the X2's.

Without an amp, I would pick the HD 598. With an amp, K7xx or HD 600/650 (better than K7xx).

Buffffffffff I was sure about the fidelio x2 but I bought it and compare with new steelseries siberia 800 and.......I don't feel a big difference (tested gaming and music 320 kbps), although obviously philips are much better.......
 
I don't know what to do so......... I have the following options:
 
Vmoda m100 for 100€ with 1 year 10 months warranty and extra large pads xl included
 
Ath-m50x for 155€
 
Siberia 800 for 125€ 
 
 
In options 1 and 2 I need to buy also boom micro that costs 35€ and xbox adapter 20€
 
What do u recommend?? Main use as I said is gaming
 
Thanks in advance
