I need a gaming headphone which doubles as a music headphone too. Caught between ATH-AD700 vs Sennheiser HD 595. I'm not sure which is better of the two. People who own this can give some comments which you think comes out trumps.

depend man~

sennheiser need a good headphone amplifier only can boost up the potential..

if compare this 2 headphone without an amplifier, AD700 would be more easily to sounds good

but both really produce 2 different kind of sounding 1

- Music genre: Mostly all except hip-hop, rap
- Budget: RM500-Rm800, may consider close to RM1000 if it's really good and worthwhile
- Headphone/ earphone type: No preferences but would prefer Circumaural, something similar to my current sennheiser HD515. Just prefer priority on comfort
- Other requirements: Not really a bass head, prefer clarity on my music smile.gif

As from your preference,

soundtrack, piano and orchestra music

i do think you need a very good sound stage n also good separation smile.gif

from my opinion, Dr.Dre sound more suitable for the PoP, R & B, Rap genre of music.

you might wanted to search around the models below?

Sennheiser HD598
Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro
Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro
Audio technica AD900
Shure SRH840
Denon D2000
Audio Technica ESW9

Beyer could handle quite well with the orchestra and also the soundtrack music smile.gif
take a research on that smile.gif

I'll think i'll cross out the Sony MDR-EX310SL  and Fischer Audio Omega , doesn't look it'll fit me right though...

I'm normally more familiar with this type of design for earphones..

Eyes on Hippo-10...
But don't see any seller with this brand (yet)

Any other recommendation you can give?

hello, i'm asking here behalf of my friends.

Budget around RM500~1000 If possible, please recommend a DAC as well that can drive the headphone with it within the budget. (Prefer Open can, because feared unable to listen what happen outside of room or anything)

Music - Classical, Techno, Acoustic, Orchestra, Anime Songs.

Sound Clarity is the Priority, he got poisoned after listening to my AEGO M Sound clarity + ASIO and decide become Audiophile  drool.gif  drool.gif  drool.gif
