Hi, I'm looking to get a pair of headphones in the $150 - $200 range and have narrowed my options down to the Sennheiser HD 598 or one of the Beyerdynamic DT headphones.
I would mostly be using these for listening to music (classical and jazz primarily, so lots of bass isn't important) and gaming. So far from what I read the HD 598 seems to be better for music while the Beyerdymanic headphones on average seem to be better for gaming, but that may be wrong since I've read conflicting reviews on that. Good musical performance and having the best soundstage possible is more important to me than how they perform in gaming, although it would be nice if they could do well in both.
Right now the best price I can find for the HD 598 is $185 while some of the Beyerdymanic DT headphones cost a bit less. Which pair would you recommend?
Thanks for any advice.
