FrankDrebinI just sold my AKG K7XX and bought the AKG K712 Pro. Yes, the K712 Pros are amazing cans and more than shine for gaming. I highly recommend them for an all-around headphone and a gaming set of cans. For gaming only I would recommend the Audio Technica ATH AD700X, but if you're looking for more than just gaming I would recommend the AD1000X or the K712 Pro above anything else.
