I just received a lot of Christmas money, and got a blue yeti and nice headphone stand, and now I just need to upgrade my headphones from my shotty g430 headset.

I have a budget of around $130, and would like to use the headset for competitive gaming on csgo, and for immersion in other games like fallout and battlefield. I have

looked at the HD 598 (Were nice, but lacked bass for immersion, would a e10k with bass boost help this), the AD900x (But some people say the wing headband design

is uncomfortable), and the DT990 Pro 250ohm (But a lot of people say they fatigue your ears very fast). Of these three, or others, which would be the best for hearing footsteps,

and for the best immersion in adventure and rpg games? Thanks for any help

I have HD 598's and they're great.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

The RIG 500e is great. You can switch between closed and opened earcups, and everything is modular so you never have to worry about it breaking. It's gone on sale for around $99 before.

I would go for DT990 or HD598. I have a sweetspot for beyer products :P

But both are good headphones.

 

For extreme wallhacking capabilities it would be AD900X
