upgrading from Siberia 2v

[Tias]

Hello people

I'm upgrading from my Siberia 2v. I've used this headset for many years at this point and feel like it' time to upgrade. Originally I wanted a headset with mic included but none seemed to have any good mic so I decided I'd just buy a standalone mic (snowball or yeti).

As for the headsphones, I've narrowed the search down to:

 

- AKG Q701

- Beyerdynamic DT900 pro.

- Sennheiser HD 598
 

I've found both around the price range of 150 dollars, slightly used/almost new. ( and a new dt900 pro for 175 USD).

 

But I'm torn between which to get. They are mainly going to be used for gaming, games like LoL, Dota2, Smite, TF2, Overwatch, D3, no mans sky ( when it's out on pc, or games like star citizen) and listening to music (instrumental/ost....aaaaand i'm an anime fan so japanese music too).

Comfort has been an important factor, especially since I have glasses and I'm used to the suspension thing from the V2, so I've been leaning a bit towards the AKG.

for headset the gamescom 780 has a really solid mic, and hyperx clouds aswell.

 

Mic test, somewhere in the middle of the video of the 780.

 

You can also pick a headphone from sennheiser, the sennheiser HD598, I heard they're pretty good

Well I tried again and found the HD598 for about 160 USD (used), sadly without a receipt. So I'm not keen on getting anywhere near that since if it breaks I'm screwed.

Anime fan? Probably the AKG's would be best.
