500+ Head-Fier
I see a lot of people recommend the HD 700 as the best headphones for gaming. Has anyone had a chance to try the HD 660s yet? If so how do they compare? I was thinking about getting one of those but haven't heard anything about how the 660s sound for gaming. I've been going through a lot of headphones since I found this thread and just can't seem to settle on any. So far the HD 598 sound the best from what I have tried. I recently got the GSP 600 but don't like the closed off sound. Bought the GSP 500 and they seem to sound weaker than the HD 598. I use the GSX 1000 for an amp and the volume sitting at 60 seems to not be enough for the GSP 500 but was fine for the 598. Maybe I don't have it set up right.
Just answered this almost exact question in another thread here

The HD700s are what I usually have connected to my GSX.
I've got HD650's and HD600's but don't use them for gaming.
Haven't tried the 660's though, so can't say for sure.
edit: I'd probably be using my HD598's or PC-37x's before either of the HD6## sets for gaming on the GSX. If the HD660's are closer to the other two 6's then I'd probably keep using the sets you already have rather than switching.
