Headphones Open:

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/3939161/AKG...se=AKG+K612pro

----------- Top sound scene and very good sound quality - clean but a little weak bass-difficult to reinforce

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/423179/Sennheiser-HD-518.html

----------------- Cheap and with great scope to improve their sound through EQ. Decent bass. Easy to reinforce.

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/9926057/Sennheiser-HD-559.html

-------- Same sequence as previous ones. Easy to reinforce. Very good sound quality other than bass.

Headphones:

------------ Very good bass and performance in general. Somewhat difficult to reinforce.

For the above headphones, Sonarworks has sound enhancement filters, except HD559, for the time being. Already I can filter for DT 990pro and AKG K612pro. If you want to go to the more expensive sennheiser that is the HD598, I also have filters for them.

for games the headphone must be close or open??

can you tell me the difference and which is the best??

This is a very hard question to answer since there are some big pros and cons. I also have a lot of experience with this and have responded to threads like this many times. So I'll keep it brief with my findings.

For gaming, your music aimed hi-fi headphones can give you a nice soundstage (depending on model), they also tend to be better build quality on average. Clarity can also be a benefit here too.

Your gaming related headphones are usually specifically built to give you a directional soundstage (eg. if a player is walking up from your 7 o'clock, you hear the footsteps from that direction a little more directly due to multiple drivers on some models). Multiple driver headphones like you see on nicer gaming headphones are handy for that task, but they're not exactly high fidelity in an audiophile way 99% of the time.

If you already have a nice hi-fi pair of headphones for music and it's not doing the job, I'd recommending a multi-driver gaming headphone as they will typically cover your gaming needs. It's sounding like you might not already have a hi-fi set of headphones, in which case without breaking the budget, I've heard great things about the Sennheiser 500 series for gaming and music, but remember they are open-back headphones so if you have loud noise in your room, fans or need very precision based listening for FPS competitive play, you may want to look at something like the Beyerdynamic DT770, Audio-Technica ATH-M50 or something else in a more insulating format.

Hope this helped!

I don't have any experience with the DAC you listed but I used to game on a pair of HD-598's with a mod mic and it was a great setup. Headphones were super comfortable for long gaming sessions and sound-stage/imaging were awesome.

Senneheiser HD5XX series (take your pick) headphone, a Modmic, and a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Z sound card, should be enough for any FPS gaming.
