I use Audio-Technica M50's (studio monitoring headphones) for gaming.

I can't imagine going back to anything else.

What about you?

I used to own Razer Megalodon but with my new rig it doesn't work so I've replaced it with friend of mine to Tt eSPORTS Shock and it's pretty standart fine.

But yes if I didn't own an option to replace my Megalodon then it's has to be Audio Technica ATH T500/WS55

HD429 at the moment

Going to buy some AKG K612 Pros soon. If I don't like them I'll have to try some others from my list, K702, Q701, HD600, Beyer DT880 etc

Microsoft Lifechat lx-3000 they are cheap and actually have really great sound. I do not use them very often.

I don't like to use headphones for gaming. They aren't very fun to use, irregardless of how good they sound. I like to be able to share the best of audio with my friends and not be tied down to something I have to wear on my head. If I absolutely have to use headphones for some reason (never happens), I'd be using my Grado SR-225i's. Otherwise I'd much rather be using my KRK Rokit 8 Studio Monitors or my Energy RC-50 Tower Speaker 5.1 setup. Once you've set up a proper soundstage with a 5.1 setup, it's difficult to use emulated surround sound anymore.

Using Steelseires Siberia V2... They do their job. I'm not much of an audiophile. If I'm able to pick out people running around me in BF4, it's more than enough.

Bose AE2 is what I use when I game late at night... Had a expensive pair of steelseries "gaming" headphones and they just don't cut it and re-confirmed to me that anyone buying "gaming" headphones is getting a £30 headphone with mic on it and paying £80+, my Sennheiser HD 205's sound better than those Steelseries tin cans.

If you want headphones just go and buy Audio Technica, Bose, Shure, Beyerdynamics, Grado, Sennheiser or AKG.

Sorry to sound like a snob I just hate it when people are being ripped off.

Saw some adverts for a sennheiser sale this morning so went and had a look, guy in front of me grabbed the last 558s for £60 (half what they sell for). I was pretty annoyed.

I use Audio Technica CKM500 with medium sony hybrid tips I can't use my speakers right now so I'm limited to headphones/iem and these are more comfortable then any of my headphones to wear long term especially while lying down in a bed which I'm forced to do for now. And they have a good sized sound stage obviously can't compete with headphones especially open one in raw sound stage but defiantly give alot bigger soundstage then what most iem give you. The imaging is very good and work great for competitive fps games combined with my Audigy 2ZS and KX drivers + surrounder plugin set to 5.1.

So annoyed that i missed the 558s, I picked up a pair of Amperiors for less than half retail price (planning to sell them for profit).

Problem is I just tried them out and they're pretty damn nice...
