Posting this up for a friend of mine, he wants to know some info about these cans.

I'd like to use these headphones for home use with a computer. I do alot of music listening *multiple genres* aswell as play alot of games. How will these headphones put up with the stresses of every day listening + gaming. I love bass and from what I hear they are very bassy so thats not a problems. I'd like to know how they will handle with a good computer soundcard. Also hows the fit? tight? comfy? padded? Thanks alot for all your advice and tips

They are 55 Ohms and are fairly easy to drive. I once used mine with a cheap soundcard with no problem, they sounded pretty good.

I found them to be fairly comfortable. They feel light with not too much clampage. Be careful with the cable plug (into the cans) which has been known to fail prematurely.

I think these are great cans for gaming and enjoyable music listening (if you haven't heard decent headphones before, they will probably blow you away on some of your favorite tracks). They are light and fit/comfort is great. After a few minutes you can't even tell they are on. For gaming, they have great bass and pretty good soundstage, which helps with positioning if your playing FPS.

They don't isolate though, so if someone is watching TV in the same room as you, it will probably be an annoyance.
