    Choosing the best headphones for my gaming setup (details inside)

    250 ohm beyers won't be a lot easier to drive than k701/2. Any decent amp should do the job just fine with AKGs. And who cares where AKGs are made, they are still well built.

    Choosing the best headphones for my gaming setup (details inside)

    Dude, I own K701 (pretty much the same as K702, but without detachable cable and in white color). You can get them for less than 150 EUR at thomann currently. Just buy them.

    Review by 'capac' on item 'Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone'

    These headphones can be found in any studio for a reason. They are affordable (less than 100$), they have flat response and isolate well (monitoring) and sound good, maybe not compared to some more expensive models, but still, probbably the best in the price range. These are also suprisingly...

    Review by 'capac' on item 'AKG K701 Studio Headphones'

    Why do I like these? They are comfortable (compared to M50s IMO), they have really big sounstage and they really flat frequency response which I really like. They also come with nice stand that will keep your headphones "stored" nicely. Build quality is pretty good, but these aren't really ment...

    HELP ME BUYING MY FIRST SERIOUSLY HEADPHONES!!!

    They are both over the ear. I'll recieve my AKG K701 in a day or two and I'll report :P. I guess you just won't get the best sound ever, definetly worse than M50s. I'm not really Shure about Shure 840s. I think M50s are safer bet.

    Focusrite 2i4: Can it drive K701?

    Thanks for help. Since a3 is not too expensive, there's good chance I'll pick one up, unless the amp in my 2i4 is really strong, which I doubt.

    It's really hard to go wrong with headphones you are looking at.

    Choosing the best headphones for my gaming setup (details inside)

    Sorry, left it out for some reason. Beyers are really comfortable, so with amp, you should be able to drive them. 990s are open, so they should also have better soundstage than closed models.   There are also AKG K701 which are really comfortable IMO, but they are really flat on EQ.  ...

    HELP ME BUYING MY FIRST SERIOUSLY HEADPHONES!!!

    I'm not an expert amp wise, but I think you can get something pretty decent for less than 100$.    Again, you won't need it for fidelio, m50s and 32 ohm beyers.   For example, I own m50x and sony mdr7506 and none of them require an amplifier, but K701 probably will. I should recieve them in...

    HELP ME BUYING MY FIRST SERIOUSLY HEADPHONES!!!

    Maybe you should consider buying an amplifier, ecpecially, if you are spending a lot of money on your headphones, but if you want to save some money and still have great quality, you can't go wrong with M50s (philips are probably good based on reviews, I just don't have any experiance with...

    HELP ME BUYING MY FIRST SERIOUSLY HEADPHONES!!!

    Yes, they are should be easy to drive too, I haven't tried them, but I own M50s and they are extremely versatile headphones. Whlie M50s are comfortable IMO, there are more comfortable sets in existance.   Beyerdynamics should work well (32 ohm), 80 ohm would be OK, but I would avoid anything...

    Is A3 powerful enough to really drive K701 hard?

    Focusrite 2i4: Can it drive K701?

    Ordered K701. I'll just try them with 2i4 and see if amp is really necesary. Any recomendations for an affordable (portable would be nice) amp that can drive K701 decently (around 50-max100$)?

    Choosing the best headphones for my gaming setup (details inside)

    Beyers are really comfortable, and if you don't use them with an amplifier, get 80 ohm version. You should also consider DT990 (open back version of 770). Do you want open or closed design?

    If you don't want to use an amplifier, just get ATH-M50X. All/most other headphones you've listed will have to be driven pretty hard by an amplifier. They sound pretty good even with phone and you really can't go wrong with them, they are also cheap and pretty comfortable.
