I'm not a headphone junkie by any means as of yet. I have only tried Sennheiser HD598, Audio Technical WS99 (Bass headphone closed back), Audio Technica WS1100i (Bass headphone, semi-open), and HyperX Cloud II's. Out of these the 598's were best likely just due to being open. Competitive gaming cares more about soundstage, seperation, and good high end.
AD900X, according to Youtube, Youtube comments and other shit apparently don't sound that much...

Semi-open cans are a compromise between fully open and fully closed headphones. Usually this is done to achieve better bass response or to widen the soundstage.
open cans usually have great mids and highs and flat bass. Sometimes they have just a little punch, though. Semi-open are going to punch a bit harder on the low end than a fully open can, and have slightly less soundstage/instrument separation than an open can as well. But compared to a cl...

Ok! Well the AKG M220 headphones have landed safely in one piece, through sheer luck all the way from the US to Oz with no padding in the packaging, just the AKG box inside another cardboard box. They look sweet and sound fine through both sound proof booth focusrite scarlett 2i4 audio interface and plugged into iPhone 6 Plus. Nice sound definition across the band, not much bass, but the biggest issue is lack of volume. You will need to play on v...

Oh I see, that would make sense. Legit AKG velours probably are more comfortable in having pads touch your ears, so it wouldn't be as bad. Kind of like lower-end Audio Technica AD series which is comfortable despite most of the ear resting on the earpad (love my AD700 to this day). These cheap ones simply need better texture and cushion to allow such a thing.
Some say the K240's sound signature changed for the worse with Beyer pads, but I personal...

Can’t Wait to get them. Just got a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones. Those are some great headphones. If these sound half as good as the audio-Technica’s they will be a great deal. From the research I did these should cost at least double what Massdrop is selling these for. Some people are worried they are made in China and not in Austria. Lets not forget some of the best electronics made today come out of China. It...

audio-technica AD700X + Samson Go Mic = $140 which WILL destroy any gaming headset in that price range and I dare say +$75 to $100 above that as well. The Samson Go Mic is a very compact cardioid mic that has a omni-directional as well as uni-directional mode. It also has a -10db mode which is great for clarity, background noise reduction, podcasts, and voice overs for a more intimate vocal sound for the audience. The 4.5 / 5 stars and +1,100 rev...
