The hyperx core is the same thing but for 61usd. My favorite sub100 headset.

Probably HD558's with foam mod to be honest. SHP9500's have a smaller soundstage and forward treble that makes them worse for gaming. I think most will end up preferring HD558's for music in the long run too.

Guessing you're referring to the M50X. Neither of those is open-backed though. I'd go with the Clouds for gaming simply because M50X's have zero positional audio and the Clouds are way cheaper. You'd be much better off with open backs for gaming if possible, though.

If you need closed backs, yes. HD558's would be better overall if you can get them, though.

Would definitely recommend open if it's an option. HD558's and SHP9500's are the usual recommendations for your budget. HD558's go on sale at Best Buy for $70 a couple times a month and SHP9500's are usually $50-$60 on Newegg.

HyperX is closed. It's great for a closed headphone, but open would be ideal for gaming. I'd personally go with HD558's.
