for games what headphones i need open or close ??
which gaming headphones are you sugested me to buy

in this budget which headphones i can buy?



can you give some suggestions in this budget please??

one my friend told me to buy this STEELSERIES ARCTIS PRO + GAMEDAC
is it good?

and another my friend sugested me one combo

sennheiser hd 598 open back : Great positional audio, good sound, very comfortable for long uses. $170 USD



https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD...eywords=hd+598



Mod mic: Awesome sounding mic, there are cheaper options but not by much. you get what you pay for. $ 50 USD



https://www.amazon.com/Antlion-Audio...mod%2Bmic&th=1



FX-Audio Dac X6: Entry level DAC + AMP for headphones w/ audio out for speakers etc so you can use just the DAC $65 USD



https://www.amazon.com/FX-Audio-Opti...o+dac+x6&psc=1


Headphones Open:

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/3939161/AKG...se=AKG+K612pro

----------- Top sound scene and very good sound quality - clean but a little weak bass-difficult to reinforce

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/423179/Sennheiser-HD-518.html

----------------- Cheap and with great scope to improve their sound through EQ. Decent bass. Easy to reinforce.

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/9926057/Sennheiser-HD-559.html

-------- Same sequence as previous ones. Easy to reinforce. Very good sound quality other than bass.

Headphones:

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/4207515/Bey...T-990-Pro.html

------------ Very good bass and performance in general. Somewhat difficult to reinforce.

For the above headphones, Sonarworks has sound enhancement filters, except HD559, for the time being. Already I can filter for DT 990pro and AKG K612pro. If you want to go to the more expensive sennheiser that is the HD598, I also have filters for them.

I suggest you read this thread. Its a wealth of great info

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mad...pping-section-dekoni-audio-pads-added.534479/

or games the headphone must be close or open??

can you tell me the difference and which is the best??

There is no "best". Its more of a case of what you need. If you need isolation from outside noise,or you do not want to disturb others while youre gaming then you want a closed back.
If that isnt an issue grab an open back. Typically open back will give you a wider sound stage,while closed backs typically will give you better bass impact. Of course there are exceptions to that rule.

I use three different headphones for gaming

Fidelio X1
AKG K701
Beyer DT990

All are very good for gaming. The X1 and 990 have wide staging+bass
The 701 has less bass but better staging.

so what is better in most cases??closed back. or open back?
HD598 and Arctis Pro with Game DAC are very good??

what is your opinion for these 2.??

[Monsterzero]

Again,if you are gaming while someone is trying to study or sleep you want closed back.
If not go for open backs.

HD598 and Arctis Pro with Game DAC are very good??

I have no experience with that set-up,so I cannot say.

I use an Astro Mixamp Pro 2013 w/ my Fidelio X1s. I like this combo very much with my PS4( I do not game on computer)
The Mixamp can also drive my K701 and DT990 600 ohms,but the X1/X2 are much easier to drive,so they can be much louder than the DT990 or K701.

If youre a hardcore FPSer where enemy location is very important grab the K701/702. If you play all sorts of games and like your gunfire and explosions to sound real,grab the Fidelio X2+Mixamp and you will have a very nice set-up.

i want to tell you that i am playing all the kind of games fps and all kind of games,, also i want the headphone and for music

 

[Monsterzero]

I already gave you my opinions,I do not know what else you want me to say.

 

[mikerrr]

AKG K712 Pro ARE NOT VERY GOOD?

 

[mikerrr]

I MEAN FROM A: $300+ WHICH ARE VERY GOOD??

ALSO Fidelio X2 IN MY COUNTRY DONT SELL ANYMORE

 

[Monsterzero]

AKG K712 Pro ARE NOT VERY GOOD?

Theyre good,perhaps a bit more bass than the K701/702. All three are good choices but all need an amp.

ALSO Fidelio X2 IN MY COUNTRY DONT SELL ANYMORE

See if you can find the Phillips Fidelio X2/27. Essentially the same as X2.

Or BeyerDynamic DT990 32ohms

 

[mikerrr]

AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition?? ARE GOOD?

 

[mikerrr]

AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition WHAT IS YOUR OPINION FOR THESE??

 

[Monsterzero]

More expensive for no reason...Stick with the normal K701/702/712
