SennHD595 are good for gaming but because they are full sized they get hot and heavy in long gaming sessions so prefer to use a cheap pair of Koss KSC-75 for most gaming. They sound fine and do not distort like most cheap headphones do and they are very comfortable and light. Perfect for long gaming sessions.

Go for the hd555's or the AD700's. Both in your price range and both great for gaming! Wait I don't even know your price range but these cans I amazingly cheap for the performance. Oh and don't forget the dt770's, they are the bassiest of the three!

i second those choices- decent bass and great detailed highs (which u need for shooters)

What's your price range?

As it stands me and my brother die for the ATH-A900. Battlefield 2 and TF2 are awesome-sounding. *BOOM*

AD700s may be a little light on bass for most.

A900 is a good suggestion, with stronger bass, but they're closed-back and may get hot and sweaty underneath the cups.

I would say for me, the HFI-780. Even the AD700 that sitting in my closet.

Look at my sig...

The best gaming dynamic headphones are the Beyer DT880 '05s and the AKG K601s.

Better then both the Senn 595s and the Ultrasone HFI 780s.

In particular, much better soundstage and comfort.


Or if you want the best, go electrostat.
