Yea i've been looking at those. I'm also considering the Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 but wanted to look at something a bit cheaper..
Wanted some alternatives for x-mas present.
EDIT:
What's the difference between DT770 Pro 32Ohm and Limited Anniversary? Or are those the same? I can't find the limited in my country...
Thanks!

I realized this when i went through the list more thorough and found that pretty much all where open. I first thought that maybe there where a couple of closed pair somewhere in the list but not marked as such and felt it was too much to check each and everyone of them. The DT770 and MSR7 seems solid though. I'm wary about the increased bass in the DT770 but other sources tells me it's not as extreme as i thought it would be. I realize that i won't get the same performance from a pair of closed as appose to a pair of open, but wanted some options at least!
My apologies and thanks for the input!

The Anniversary is newer, and I'm sure they fixed the inconsistent driver variation inconsistencies of the 770s from before. I'd go for that one instead of the regular one.

People who don't think the 770 Pro 80 isn't that bass heavy are utter bassheads. Yes, it doesn't have a ton of mid bass, but sub bass is prolific, and will command the rest of the sound. I'd personally get something not so boomy, really. Having not heard the Anniverary, I dunno how much it's changed, but it seems more balanced from what I've read.

Looking to upgrade my current headset. Made the mistake of spending a good amount of money on Astro A40, not exactly that they're bad. But after a good 2 years of use if not more. I am looking to get something with a little bit more oomph.
 
My current use is along the lines of a great ton of gaming combined with music and voice chat. So an overall good headset is what I'm looking at.
 
I've been looking into the DT990 Pro 250 ohm version. Also the Philips Fidelio x2's.
 
Would like to hear some opinions of what you guys think of these choices. And how they would fare compared to what I've got currently.
 
Thanks in advance.

Guys quick answer pls, I recently started actually enjoying Dolby Headphone on Asus STX/AKG K7XX so the question is - Sound BlasterX G5 is SBX any good comparing to Dolby Headphone or it is a failure? Need answer fast, plan to order today if I get a good deal.

If you're enjoying DH, just keep what you have. Listen to some videos on youtube and see if the difference is worth it to you. I've been liking the SBX on the X7.

Do you need the headphone surround sound for?

 

[Fegefeuer]

Blasterx G5's SBX is SBX in its worst form. Don't bother. You won't get any support either. It has been 1 year already. 

 

[Ljanmi]

Well for gaming only, PC is multi purpose - listening to FLAC, watching movies and gaming(solo play mostly but still prefer immersion ). I read in the meantime on Sond BlasterX G5 thread that ppl cant distinguish front from rear positional cues. So I guess it is a no no even for 80$.

I'm also looking for some quality sounding wireless headphones. So far, Sennheiser RS-175 seems to be the best choice but not many reviews in terms of PC gaming department.  
 
As for wired ones : Are Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-Ear good for PC usage? Gaming, movies and music?

Not sure is there has been much talk about the hd598 closed model. Just received these this morning and I'm very curious to check them out. From what I gather they are an amazon exclusive and may be more similar to the newer hd569?

 

[LukaTCE]

Are HD 598 CS always for 105€ at UK Amazon or just now at sale ?
So worth changing from HD 598 ? I need good noise isolation.

The only review I can find is here

I would say to get the HD598CS (closed) headphone, before the price goes back up.
Be keep using the HD598 for when you are not in need of noise isolation.

1. So I play a ton of FPS games mostly CSGO and I want the best possible sound to hear footsteps in the game. Everything else doesn't matter to me, I got other headphones for music. Also I currently don't have a soundcard in my computer, so if I need a soundcard I'll buy that too but I need to know what soundcard. Budget is 1000 dollars at max for both soundcard and headphones. Need suggestions on mic's aswell if I'm buying headphones without a mic. Any help is appreciated as I don't know too much about this. 
 
2. Should I use virtual surround for games when using headphones?
