tldr; Aurvana SE: budget king for competitive FPS, praised for sound quality and positioning. Often recommended with a dedicated DAC/amp like Creative G6.
tldr; Aurvana Live!/SE: Budget king for pinpointing footsteps in FPS games. Mic quality questionable, but soundstage is the meta for competitive play.
tldr; Studio monitors for gaming. Incredible imaging for FPS.
tldr; AD900x: FPS "footstep meta" with great imaging/soundstage. Lacks bass, more of a sidegrade than upgrade for some. Pairs well with ModMic.
tldr; Budget AKG open-back. Good imaging, needs power.
tldr; Takstar Pro 82: budget king for gaming and music. Praised for sound quality and comfort. MH751/752 are rebranded versions with mics. V1 not recommended.
tldr; German gaming excellence. DT 770 with great mic. Premium build.
tldr; The K7XX: widely considered inferior to other AKG 700 series headphones like the K702, K712, and K612. Bass is a common complaint.
tldr; AD700X: The "budget king" for competitive FPS. Imaging is god-tier for footsteps, but tonal balance is sacrificed. Pair with ModMic for ultimate setup.
tldr; Drop x Sennheiser value king. HD 6XX sound at lower price.
tldr; Planar magnetic modding platform. Stock is meh but modded versions legendary. Needs serious amp power.
tldr; The Meze 99 Classics are on some redditors' radar, but the focus here is on alternatives and soundcard quality. Not quite endgame material in these comments.
tldr; A decent closed-back for competitive FPS, with clear footsteps but an anemic bass response. Falls short compared to the MH751 and open-backs like PC38X.
tldr; Wireless with RGB. Light weight, decent sound. For the aesthetic.
tldr; Entry Sennheiser gaming. Closed-back, good sound, solid mic.

tldr; Wireless with RGB. Light weight, decent sound. For the aesthetic.
tldr; Barracuda: A mixed bag. Good sound (with EQ), long battery, and sleek design, but questionable durability and mic issues plague the lineup. Comfort varies.
tldr; Industry-leading 300hr battery. Signature HyperX comfort and sound. Some latency with DSP enabled. Bass-forward fun signature.
tldr; Studio headphones used for gaming. Needs separate mic.
tldr; Razer's premium ANC headset. SmartSwitch between devices, THX spatial. Great for travel, gaming sound is good but not best-in-class.
tldr; Endgame open-back reference. Massive soundstage, surgical imaging. Overkill for gaming but unmatched positional audio. Needs serious amp.
tldr; Open-back studio reference. Needs no amp, neutral tuning. Incredible detail but divisive for gaming—some find it too analytical.
