Hello, so I'm looking for some studio headphones to make music and I want some that could be good at games e.g Rainbow 6 siege and I'm currently looking at getting the Philips shp9500

Thanks

For audio work (Creation, editing, mixing), get the Sony MDR-V6 or MDR-7506 (buy used off eBay)
From my understand, you want neutral and boring headphones for audio work
Headphones that do not have much biased in the audio.

Get other headphones that are full of life for music and movies and gaming.

What's your budget?

Audeze Mobius. It is actually a gaming headset with adjustable EQ presets that are very Harman target friendly.

Open back headsets like Sennheiser hd600 would be good for mixing

Beyerdynamic DT880 is also nice.

What's your budget?

My budget is around $160 nzd

if your budget is 160$....

Sony MDR-7506. thats pretty much your only option at that price point tbh. you want something flat and boring as mentioned before. so that you can adjust and master songs. anything coloured will ruin the mastering process and make the final product sound bad on everything else except for the headphones you mastered with or headphones with a similar sound profile as your mastering headphones.

PS: these sonys arent made for gaming at all. ONLY studio work.

Not sure what that equals in USD but I would say either the Sony 7506, DT880 or, DT990(only if you can stand bright headphones ).

I don't think bright (or any colored) headphones are a good idea for studio use. Getting as close to Harman target is wiser. Also, they need to be fairly indestructible. The Sony 7506 is a good rec, but i'm partial to the Audio-Technica M40x. I also would recommend the Status Audio CB-1.

Yamaha HPH-MT7 is just about the best you can get in your budget.
