Looking For The Best Headphones For Gaming

[onlos]

I've had my Razer Krakens for awhile now and they are beginning to get damaged here and there and was looking for a new pair. Does anyone have any suggestions NOTE: Im just looking for Audio w/ no mic I have a separate Blue Yeti mic

 

Edit: Budget is no more then 300$

HD 558's?

whats your budget because if you are looking for the "best" one then its probably the best possible headphone like a sennheiser Orpheus or something

hd 558s or hd 598 both good headphones with great sound, if you get 598s a dac/amp might be a good investment too

No just no with the 598s they don't need a dac/amp at all.

i would think it depended more on your onboard sound because i know my friend has terrible sound interference and i dont, if i was to spend $200 or more on headphones id hate to have interference

Oh yea but i would go with the link that I posted for the K7XX nothing can compair to those for the price they are at. One thing is with massdrop you dont get your stuff right away there is a small wait but it is worth it.
