i own asus vulcan anc (rm370), steelseries siberia v2 (rm300 bought in uk) and cmstorm sirus 7.1 (rm380) for gaming headsets and shure se215 (rm388), akg k450 (rm205 bought in uk) and denon ahnc600 (rm250 bought in uk) for more audiophile quality. it is common that gaming headsets have flat sound because you need to focus on your in game surroundings rather than game sound quality. but if you are not serious about gaming or you do not play first person shooter then you dont need a gaming headset. using a gaming headset to watch movie or listen to music is boring, so when i do that i will switch to better headphone for better sounds. however, i find using a audiophile headphone to play games make my ears get tired easily, maybe too much bass in gun sound? hmm.gif or maybe just my ears got problems. cool.gif

nice comment.. very many info.. so is there any good headphone recommendation that will work well in gaming and music( no need to be a gaming headset).. 1 more, how bout the sound quality in music in asus vulcan pro when anc is turn off ( if you dont mind gv me a rating range 0-10) and gimme the rating for siberia v2 too smile.gif.. I dont play too much of fps game( I still play some) so gaming headphone is not require I think.. any suggestions on audiophile headphone(since audiophile headphone work great in gaming too)?

sorry for the demand because I really dont know what headphone should I buy and I cant find any semi gaming semi audiophile headphone.. and if I din use a good headphone, it will be a waste if I have such a good sound card..

It's vice versa, you wan gaming then keep it as gaming headphone, doesn't mean the gaming headphone doesn't play music and audiophile grade doesn't mean it won't sux on music laugh.gif Its all depends on personal preference.

Superlux line headphones do pretty well in audiophile and you can have 2 of them for RM400! Semi-open like HD330 is suitable for gaming as well.

mm i dont use vulcan pro, i use vulcan anc which was the first version, i would giv it a 7/10 when anc is turned off and 5.5/10 when anc is turned on because the bass is completely gone when the anc is turned on while you can hear absolutely nothing around you (maybe can hear bomb explodes but i nvr try that before). i would give siberia v2 a 6.5/10 because of its flat sound (little bass compared to vulcan with anc turned off). dont need to worry about clarity of gaming headsets as they are all very clear at mid and high but you cant expect the high to be crisp like audiophile headphone because of its flat sound.

i agree with e1-akg because my friend living beside my room in uk now owns akg k99 and q350. so i had the chance to audition k99 as much as i want. for me i dont like the how the k99 sounds because i prefer smaller soundstage when listening to music. but i think it will be a good choice for you because it is very very nice if you listen to live concert, the soundstage as i said it is very wide and you will like you are sitting in the concert listening the music. the headphone is very clear as well but the bass is lacking for me since i like trance music more compared to vocal. but since its soundstage is wide it will be good on gaming and watching videos.

Any good headphones about RM200? Specifically for music, i was looking at the beyer DT231 or Sennheiser hd408 or audio technica ad300? Re they good? Any good suggestions?

I own DT231 before. Comfortable cushion but my ears too big, become pain in long hours. Other users don't experience my problem. SQ wise, top notch. Nothing to complain about for that headphone. All rounder.

AD300 = Comfort. Wide earcup.

Funny thing on the contrary I feel my Lenovo P950 has average sound quality, but the Mic is pretty good. I am looking for an upgrade too.
