Headphones Good Sound Stage For Gaming

If you are mixing music, don't second guess yourself and end up returning the HD650's for a pair of the HD600's. The 600 is for mixing on. You cannot mix in the 650's. The 650's have a very wide sound stage that isn't natural and a very enhanced low end and high end and scooped upper midrange which makes them sound too good not very far from accurate or flat. The HD600 is also way better than the Focal Spirit headphones. The HD280 would be my second choice. The HD600 has just a bit more detail and a more accurate sound stage. The HD280 is a little more mono sounding compared to the HD600. They both have a very accurate frequency response and I have had extremely good luck working with both sets of headphones. They are both way better than anything from Sony or AKG or Beyerdynamic or Focal or any of the other companies but do listen to them all for yourself. B&H has a great listening station down in New York and the staff there are very helpful in getting you the chance to hear all the headphones in person. They have most of the really top popular models on their listening station and it's well worth your time to listen to them all like I did before you make your decision.

Sound is neutral and very clear. Much wider sound stage than other (cheap) headphones I've owned. Not too hard to drive; bass is lacking from iPod output, but my Creative X-Fi Elite Pro does a fine job. They have a 300 ohm impedance which means they need high amounts of voltage with low amounts of current. These are open back headphones which means sound easily leaks IN and OUT. You can be bothered by ambient noise and others will likely hear what you're listening to if within the same room. Construction is semi-modular; you can replace ear pads, cabling, etc. by buying parts through Sennheiser USA (very low cost).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just want to say that these headphones blew me away with sound, design, and long battery life. I love how quick they connected to my Xbox Series X and after that I was gaming in my living room for hours. Got in on a party chat with my friends and they heard me loud and clear. No static and they had plenty of volume for any game. Played some Halo Infinite and some Forza Horizon. The sound had some good punchy bass and had a great surround sound feeling. Even tried some Apple Music songs and the 50mm drivers really hit some good highs and mids just right. No complaints in the sound area. Back to party chat. I loved the feature of flicking up the mic to mute. Turns red when muted. Super convenient when you need a bathroom break. Lol Also cool that you can independently switch the sound of the game chat/game sound on the headset. Pretty nifty. The material for the cushion is really good quality and never bothered me when I was gaming. Super comfy. Came with all the accessories you would need for Pc, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and mobile. Cool little feature also is that you can charge them and game at the same time. If I had to give it a negative.. The little dongle is small and can get lost if you misplace it. But overall a solid pair of killer headphones. Now back to gaming!

These are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. I'm extremely particular, having spent hours auditioning headphones in person at retails shops, doing research online, and quizzing colleagues. Nothing comes close to the Audix A150. Any other pair of headphones I've owned or previewed eventually create pressure at some point, usually on top of one's head. Right out of the box, the Audix A150 wraps evenly around your head like a firm pillow. The enclosed instructions specifically advise you to NOT bend the upper band outwards in an effort to loosen them. Rather, over time, these headphones will relax to accommodate the shape of your skull. Regarding the sound, I specifically purchased the Audix A150 for reference, primarily dialogue. The sound stage is full without any particular frequency being pushed. Although I do wish the bass was a wee bit reduced, this is likely because my prior set of cans had a comparatively thin sound stage. The build quality is superior. Even the hardshell case is well-made. Lastly, these headphones are gorgeous to look at!

While I've only had the Sennheiser 600s for two weeks, I can honestly say that for the price they are a no-brainer purchase and even competes with headphones priced up to $1000. The Sennheiser 600s are very, very response headphones that do need power to drive them properly---I'm using a P5 Parasound preamp. They do not reproduce or accentuate deep, heavy bass; but instead, provide a narrow sound stage with incredible clarity. My only negatives are is that I would prefer a wider sound stage, and listening to my favorite Rush tracks, Neal Pert's cymbals were muted and short lived.

Nice and clear. Not used for gaming. Used for speaker monitor on stage. Good contrast. Doesn't get washed out in bright lights.

Great headphones, good sound, comfortable.

I love these headphones! very good for sound monitoring!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming headset is great! The sound on these is amazing! I was playing sports video games like FIFA and it felt like I was really in the stadium. Other video games were equally as great. You could hear the faintest of sounds and this made the louder sounds even more intense. The sound quality is great and the microphone is equally as great. Anybody I played with online had an easy time hearing me. The gaming headset is super easy to setup and use as well. The wire-free set up is great and allows you to walk around without having to take off your headset or bring your controller. The battery life is also long and something I appreciate. The headset is very easy to use and has convenient volume controls right on the headset. Perhaps an underrated feature of this headset, is the ability to have great sound without disturbing anybody. You can play video games without annoying anyone else in the room. Also, I used these headphones to watch TV/movies on my gaming console without waking up anyone in my house like I used to when using my TV speakers. Lastly, these are very comfortable! I wore them for hours and never once experienced discomfort. I usually do not like over the ear headphones so the fact I never had any problems and actually enjoyed wearing these shows how comfortable they are! I could not recommend this product enough!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones deliver in a number of practical, easy ways whether being used for gaming or not. The ease of connection in headphones these days is critical, and within less than a minute, these were connected to both a phone and Nintendo Switch. Pairing was simple and the ability to switch back and forth relatively effortlessly made the user experience so smooth. Using the headset for gaming, the sound came in amazingly clear and captured both game dialogue as well as sound effects and score without featuring one over the other. Voices were clear, sound effects were crisp and the background music was rich and deep. Switching over to music, the experience was much the same. Piano notes came in clear and loud, treble was smooth and loud and the bass had a classic "thump" characteristic which is often more of a "buzz" in lower-end headphones. Finally, the switch to USB-C is the last feature that seems to be the most simple and obvious, but absolutely necessary. Regardless of device, it seems to be more and more common to utilize one charging cable, and being able to switch from phone to gaming and now headphones with a single cord while traveling is such a relief. All in all, these are terrific for anyone looking at a mid-range headset, packed with a ton of features and quality that are normally found in more expensive products and designs.
