Personally, I gotta have good base and gaming is a must. I say pick the AkG's

 

Hey, guys right now I'm currently deciding which of these headphones I should by. Thanks to the forum member orbitalbuzzsaw I was able to find these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDX1IVW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A30DTQ2AMNXSE&psc=1(Status Cb1) I was originally going to buy these until I found https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077FFCPVR/ref=sspa_dk_detail_8?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B077FFCPVR (AKGK 240 Studio Professional Semi-Open). I am now wondering which of these two I should buy. I've read that the CB1's are very neutral sounding, they say these headphones don't have a lot of bass and have a very close soundstage that is more designed for sound/studio monitoring. The AkG's, on the other hand, have a deeper and fuller sounding bass and have a much open soundstage. They also are semi-open ear headphones which are better for people who also want to game like me. I just want some advice on which of these two I should get. Should I get the AKG's or should I get the CB1's? Please let me know thanks in advance. :) (btw I'm not saying that the CB1's are bad because they have a more closed soundstage, a more closed soundstage is better for people who are studio monitors or do other things with music and sound)

Thanks for your suggestion. I am personally looking at the AKG's a bit more. But I just want to make sure. :)

All good! I always have a hard decision picking new hardware or peripherals.
