Hi all, my last set of headphones broke over the weekend and I am looking to buy a new pair. I am looking at the "Sennheiser HD 280 Pro" and had a listen in store today. The sound quality was amazing and they appear to have many great reviews online. My only concern is a lot of people mention they are a little light on the bass. As I will be using these headphones for a fair amount of gaming I was wondering how much of an issue this was... for example, when a grenade explodes next to me in a game I really like to *feel* like I'm being blown away. I'm also into the survival/horror genre (silent hill/FEAR/Dead Space 2 etc.) and obviously sound quality is of great importance in terms of emmersion in those games.

Does anyone have any experience with these headphones, or could point me towards another brand?

Cheers!

Yep, +1 to the Audio Technicas

I used to have AD700's and they were awesome, then some cunt stole them so now I bought some AD900's and they are also awesome. Can't go wrong with either of those, don't buy overpriced sennheiser stuff.

I have AD700's for sale if anyone wants them.

Want something more suited to headphone amps.

Yeah maybe, how much do u want for them?

If you're planning to buy Audio Technica headphones, Amazon have good prices thanks to the current exchange rate.

I'd say that'd be your drivers or software setup.

I owned HD500 sennhiesers I think? back in 2000ish. They fell apart before the speakers had any problem. I really enjoyed them and they lasted a few years.
