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.
I decided to transition to open back headphones about a year ago and have been super happy with my SendyAudio Aiva's. They're incredibly comfortable and work great for positional audio in FPS's!
Originally was using the wireless steelseries headsets for convenience but after I bought hd800's I've been using that. Though if I'm just gaming I find myself using the wireless headset more since I can freely move around and do other stuff
