Gaming headphones are placebo at the end of the day, using reference or monitor headphones is 100000x better than using EXTREME MLG RAZER placebo stuff.
Personally I use ath-m50s hooked up to a fiio e10 and a blue snowball mic. Although I would like a delicious valve amp HNNNNGH
You hear music as it should be and great bass too, not fart bass like beats (btw beats are horrible and way overpriced).
With headphones you need good mids, good soundstage and good bass.
Gaming headphones only really have good bass and thats about it.
I have been in the technology bussiness for a while now and its my primary hobby/interest.
