Trying to choose between HD650's, HE400, and Philips X1. I listen to music similar to Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Lindsey Taylor, Fallout Boy, The Fray, ColdPlay, etc.
I also play ALOT of video games ranging from CSGO to skyrim to MMO's.
Looking for something that can get me headbanging but also enjoy the clarity of it the music. I would love to feel immersed in games like skyrim, and hopefully I don't need to go closed headphones just to achieve that since they tend to get really uncomfortable on the ears after awhile. I spend anywhere to 6-12 hours on the computer sometimes for various reasons, so comfort is also a big factor.
I have the HD598's and love the sound, but hate how it feels too elegant to get me headbanging to rock songs, and sounds so airy in games instead of immersive.
Budget: $400, saving money is fun though.
