If you want the absolute best open-backed headphones, I'd say the LCD-3 or HE-6, but those are very expensive. We need to know your budget, and if you want to be getting an amp + DAC.
But between the ones you said, I'd go with the Senn's.

Wait the Luxe comes in white?? Damn, I'm getting that then lol

Ok I'll go for the 1440p IPS, but I now see that there's a lot of them around the same price. I'll make a new thread for that

I'm building a new PC for video editing, VFX, 3D rendering, and hardcore/competitive gaming (and maybe streaming). ~$1300 of the budget is for audio so that won't be changed in the partslist (it's part of the "Other Parts" category") but with the remaining $3700, is this the best I can get for the price?

Wait for 900 series for the love of god. Best option by the distance from here to Pluto.

One is red and the other is green

I was talking to a guy on some other forum who was getting almost the same setup as me. I asked which one to get, and he said optical. I didn't question him, but I came here. Is there any difference in sound?
 
 
I just clicked on the first one I saw lol. The price made me question it and that's the reason why I even put those in the original post.
 
 
Yea the cables being shorter also was a factor. I love Monoprice as much as the next guy (used to have those awesome $30 over-ears they make), but those cables have a shit-ton of 1 star reviews. have you used them?
