Hi which headphones/headset to buy for gaming and maybe mod it for TV wireless use.
I need good noise isolation.
Now I have HD 598 but they are open, I need closed one I see HD 598 CS are now on sale for 105€ only
I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium but looking something better for gaming like Sound BlasterX G5 120€ or mixamp ?
I guess HD 598 CS is best option I have ?
Are HD 598 CS (closed) worth changing from HD 598 ?

I was looking for
DT 770 range from 115-130€
HyperX Cloud Revolver 90€
A40 are 83€
A50 are 160€ at black friday sale
Siberia 350 or 650 120€ / 150€

Any idea if it work converting to wireless with cheap Bluetooth Transmitter + Receiver ?

Get the HD598CS, price is right.
And get a headphone amplifier, like the FiiO A3 (E11K),$60 USD, for use with the Titanium sound card.
So far i'm not see a good enough reason for replacing the Titanium sound card, with the G5 or Mix-amp.
 
Can't ever see any reason at all for replacing the Titanium sound card with a Mix-amp.

HD 598 SC are only 23 Ω so I guess they don't need amp right ?
How are HD 598 SC compared to DT 770 ? I don't like heavy bass or any bass at all, similar to HD 598 neutral.

I would change sound card because it uses old software and can't set any preference like FPS so I could hear footsteps louder.
Is there any solution with 7.1 USB sound cards like from Creative, steelseries or similar
Sound BlasterX G1 is 40€ just USB sound card
 
 
Seems sale is over. It says black friday sale is till 27th at midnight. Is there any way I can contact Amazon support/help ?

Assume you mean HD598CS, not HD598SC (not a big deal).
 
The DT770 is V shaped sound, stronger bass/treble.
 
SBX G1 vs Titanium sound card, not sure how to answer there.
