I've been researching for a few weeks and choosing a specific headphone is really more than I ever imagined. In fact, this whole audiophile thing has got me obsessed with reading reviews/comparing constantly like its becoming unhealthy, hehe.
Anyway, I'm looking for a headphone/headset that will be paired with an Asus Xonar STX sound card strictly and only for PC gaming on Dolby Headphone. I'm not concerned for having an overall headphone for games and music. I'll buy a separate headphone for must later on.
From what I've gathered, my choices will be:
Open: DT880 / AD700 / PC360
Closed: PC350, MMX300, DT 770 Pro 80
Does anyone have experience with the MMX300? If I were buying this only for positional awareness, does anyone have experience with the Asus Xonar STX which would work well with one of these headphones? Positional cues in the DT770 Pro 80s seem to be one of the best even though they are closed....which is why I'm confused because I've always been under the impression that open is going to be better for positional awareness.
