ATs don't come cheap typically. These are their gaming ones, it's not the exact model the TI casters were using, but they were almost assuredly using professional studio ones that were at least as much if not a couple hundred more per pair.

well These would be a brilliant option. they are ADG1's without the mic for $140 less

Its done when the audio is recorded. What a headphone's soundstage refers to is the ability of said headphones to 'reproduce' the sound in the correct recorded positioning. You don't need any gimmic programs like dolby headphone or virtual surround sound. These programs are for headphones that suck at positional audio and have very little soundstage.

The AD700X/900X and its closed-back brother are very popular with gamers because of its accurate positional audio..so much so that Audio Technica has made a premium gamer headset based on the platform. Its called the ADG1. Its about double the price though, but it comes with a usb DAC and the microphone is pretty damn good for a 'gaming' oriented headset.

The HX66 are probably cheaper but that's not a good thing also what country you from so I can look for links where you can order from.

But here are some Links for Amazon USA I also included some amazing headsets from audio Techinca

If you don't mind putting some money down then I found the mic on these are truly awesome and the game sound quality is also. Failing that a regular pair of Turtle Beach headphones with mic will be fine on a budget.

I have one of my Xbox One's setup with Creative Labs speakers so do something similar to you, have the speakers on loud but have the headphones on with chat only. One thing to mention is if you're going down this route get open back headphones like the ATH-ADG1's most Turtle Beach and gaming headsets are closed back which means you won't hear the gaming audio from your speaker stereo system as well.

For the gaming headset experience, top reccomendations go to this bad boy. However, headphones that emulate speakers are hard to come by. The Sennheiser HD600 or HD650 with an OTL amp comes to mind as a fantastic bang-for-buck combo, you'd just need to find an ODAC or other DAC to use it with.

Other headphones known for emulating speakers are much more expensive. Take, for example, the Audeze LCD-X, which people have said are equivalent to a $50,000 speaker setup in a specially tuned room. Or, the Sennheiser HD800, known for being the most detailed headphone in existence next to the goddamn Stax SR-009. There's a lot out there, but you can't go wrong with the Senn HD600.

With a $300 budget there is no question. The ATH-ADG1 is way better than anything else you can buy.

  • Budget: $200 preferred ($300-350 if it's significantly better for price/performance)

  • Location: US

  • Source: PC w/ ALC889 and very rarely potentially my Yamaha RX V765

  • Isolation: None (Home use only)

  • Preferred Type: Circumaural - Full-Sized Over Ear (OPEN)

  • Preferred Tonal Balance: overall balanced

  • Past Headphones: Steelseries Siberia V2 (With USB Vitual 7.1)

  • Preferred Music: Gaming and music - I seriously listen to everything except dubstep unless someone on twitch is streaming it :P - I generally listen to hip hop and rock, but also enjoy classical and other easy listening.

    Background/My Thoughts

    I generally prefer to invest slightly more in my things for better quality and longevity. I'd happily invest more in things if I knew it was more likely to last or if the quality is significantly higher for the cost.

    The left speaker in my siberia just stopped working. I am very close to grabbing the Sennheiser G4ME ONE's used from Amazon because I have a $50 gift card waiting to be used and I'm a sucker for great price/performance.

    I figure either $200 for a headset OR $300-$350 for Headphones + whatever else.

    Option 1: Headset w/ Mic

    I don't necessarily need a headset w/built in mic, I'm aware of the modmic option, but if I'm not mistaken the G4ME ONE essentially an HD 558 just with the added microphone which will be very nice for me due to how much I'm on vent/Teamspeak when I game. I don't see the point in investing much more than 150-200 for an all-in-one because as I understand the quality doesn't go much higher from here anyways.. so to get more quality I'd look at option 2 and by that point it seems to be very costly to compete with the HD 558. And since I can get the ONE used for 150-50=$100 that seems like a great option.

    Option 2: Headphone + Soundcard OR DAC/AMP + ModMic

    Unless someone knows something that I don't, this is where I'd be spending more than the $200, and hopefully only if it's actually going to be 50-100% better. I considered the AT-ADG1's in option 1 above, but I don't believe they offer $100 more in value over the G4ME ONE (White/red new is $200)- please correct me if I am wrong.

    Here are of the products I considered for option 2:

  • HD 598
  • DT 990
  • AKG Q701 (Or K701 - but I like the Q design)

    I am assuming I'll need to add another 100-200 on top of the headphone to drive them.


    If there are any options that let me gradually upgrade/add on the DAC/Amp I'd consider that, but my impression is that certain headphones need to be driven properly from day 1. I realize that any headphones, even the G4ME ONE would benefit from a better amp or soundcard, but if I go for them then I don't plan to get another soundcard or external DAC/AMP anytime soon.

    Any advice/thoughts on this or anything else would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the wall of text. :D

I would hold off on buying the FK. If the FK1 is too big then wait for the FK2 which should be smaller whenever it comes out.

Do yourself a favor and invest more into your headset. Music is a wonderful thing and you'll be amazed at how often you will rediscover new components to your favorite songs. You really do hear things that you've never quite noticed before. As a headset my highest recommendation goes to Audio Technica's ATH-ADG1. If $100 is your maximum, I would go for either of these:

Westone UM Pro10
Shure SE215-K
*Creative Aurvana Live

The last being my last resort for you. Good luck.
