I sold my old headset, so I'm going to be needing a pair of new headphones. They will mostly be used for gaming (FPS, RPG etc...) so positioning is important. Although I would like my games to sound immersive as well. In terms of music, I mostly listen to
- Alternative Rock
- Indie Rock
- Electronic
However, I listen to a little bit of everything, so it would be nice if the headphone was quite well rounded.
I had my mind pretty much set on a pair of HD555, as they were cheap and sounded like they would suit my needs, but now I'm not so sure. I don't want to be left feeling unhappy with my headphones, so would it be worth it to buy something a bit more expensive? Like a 598?
555 - £80
598 - £140
I could buy the 598's, but the 555's are far more comfortably within my budget.
Tl;dr - Is it worth buying a 598 over a 555 for gaming and music in general?
