Which headphones do you use for PC gaming?

Been using the Sennheiser HD650 for 8+ years as my primary gaming headphones. Other honorable mentions go to HD595 and Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro. Long-term plan is to upgrade to HD800S, but I'm not unhappy :)

I actually love using my focal elears for FPS gaming. I find that I am able to hear footsteps and sounds and actually be able to tell how close by and the direction they are coming from. I was not able to do this nearly as well with the elegia, TR-X00, X2HR, LCD2C, etc. I used a mod mic with the elears and have never had anyone complain about my mic. I am looking to try the PC37X strictly for FPS gaming however

If I’m playing something competitive I really enjoy the fidelio x2’s especially since you can stick a v moda boompro and call it a day. For just everyday enjoyment I prefer the hd58x’s

Been rocking DT1770s with a Bottlehead Crack amp, and RME Babyface Pro FS as the DAC. Games with epic soundtracks really shine, sweeping pads and rumbling bass. Doom Eternal was a rush, Death Stranding was epic, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps was gorgeous audio.

I'll thinking about a pair of HD650s at some point, would be nice to get some open cans and I hear it pairs very well with my amp.

I've been using the Sennheiser HD 6XX as my gaming headphones for ages now. They're great for it. I also pair my headphones with a Schiit DAC/Amp combo.

Right now it's the Fidelio X3 and Monoprice M570.
