I made a thread the other day but left out a key bit of information so let's start over.
I am a PC gamer. I also love high end music and have a large collection of flac files. I also stream a lot on my PC and watch movies occasionally.
I have a Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 already and I am looking for a "do all" set of headphones that are amazing for gaming, and generally great for everything else. I would like to spend $250 or less. I've had AKG in the past and loved them, but they were stolen and that was probably 10 years ago. I got a cheap replacement set after cheap replacement set since, and I am now a bit older and wiser and when I game its a luxury so when I do I want to be blown away every time. I've never been fond of "Gaming headsets" and am not looking for one with a mic as I have a separate desktop mic for that purpose.
I don't need to spend $250 in fact I'd like to spend less, but I'm looking for some recommendations. I've never had a pair of Sennheisers so the the brand intrigues me, and Beyerdynamic has some really great reviewed products I'm interested in and I also wouldn't mind going back to AKG if I can find the right set that suits my needs. It seems like the headphone market has expanded tremendously these last few years and I can't keep up. I've read good things about Massdrop and the 6XX but I've read those aren't great for gaming.... Any help appreciated.
