Stuck between two different headphones!

[Butterchicken2]

I am in the market for a new pair of headphones and had my eyes on the Sennheiser 506080 GAME ONE. This headset retails for roughly $147 on Amazon, however, upon browsing Amazon's Prime Day deals, I stumbled across the Corsair Void Pro which retails for $79.99. Being that it is Amazon Prime Day, the Corsair headphones are marked down to $49.99. However, the GAME ONE's are still their retail price of $147. Additionally, I have $70 of Amazon cash from a redeemed gift card- what would be my best option here? Pay nothing for the Corsair Headphones, or pay roughly $80 for Sennheiser? *Side note: I have an external mic, so the mic on either headphones won't be used whatsoever.*

Get the hd6xx from massdrop. It's currently still in the drop phase and is a 500 dollar pair of headphones for 200. It's worth it if you have the money and since you have a mic it seems like a better option.

For reference the hd6xx is a rebranded version of the hd650 from sennheiser. It's a collaboration between sennheiser and mass drop.

While I would definitely be interested in these headphones, they are a bit out of my price range. Of the two I selected, which would you recommend? The Sennheiser?

I like my gaming ones. Definitely better audio quality but if you like alot of base then they may not be for you. They are really good for you being able to hear everything. Although if you already have a mic I would just get regular sennheiser headphones for around the same price.

Basically they are made so that you can hear all the audio ranges rather than the base overpowering everything else

Do you have a specific pair that you have in mind?

That's where I'm leaning mostly towards.

I think the short answer is the gaming ones have super good clarity and make songs super enjoyable.
