atistatic, maybe you could go to higher end models already like Sennheiser HD650/600 or AKG K701/702 or Denon D2000.
Think of it.

Well IMO the ATH-AD700's can't be bettered for gaming. As VALIENTE recommended, the Sennheiser HD600/650 and AKG K701/702 are great for what you need them for. I would suggest the AKG's more for gaming over the Sennheiser's and I have a feeling they are also better for your genres of music, not too sure though. Also from what I have read, a Sennheiser is just another headphone, unless paired with a fantastic amplifier which costs several hundred dollars and up. This is where it outperforms a lot of headphones out there.

and with the dt880 of beyerdynamic and ad900 of audio technica whats up ? are good ?

 

[atistatic]

or the dt880 and ad900 is for another think ?

 

[stang]

AD900 is a rip off IMO. It's like twice the price of the AD700 with from what I've read, barely any increase in quality. The AD700 is your best bet, or the DT880. The DT880 is recommended more than the DT990 for gaming, I forgot why though. The DT880 has a smaller soundstage but is a bit more accurate, FWIR.

You really need to keep the AD700 for gaming and start making a desktop rig. Gather a DAC, amplifier and another set of headphones like AKG K701. It's what I'vedone with my Grado's.

BEHRINGER: MON800 what do u say about this amp ?

 

[MomijiTMO]

Please do not consider either the DT880 or K701 if you do not have an amp. While some will argue with me, the K701 does not sound fan-flipping-tastic out of the STX. It was only until I got the Canamp [and my other amp] until I started to smile.

You can get great sound without having to fork out a lot of money on amplifiers. IMO keep what you have, save up for a while [the audio world doesn't progress too much] and then you can look at a nice efficient headphone.
