Hey guys. Im trying to research the headphones im getting but its really confusing because there is like different "best" in every review i red. So, my budget is $200 tops and ill be using it for MOBA gaming and just casual music use when im out. I dont want any wireless stuff. Thanks for the future answers :)

Basically if you want headphones, look no further than the ATH-AD500X and HD518 families (500,700, 900, and 518,558,598). You basically can't go wrong with them, and if you don't have a decent sound card, the "lower end" ones will be cheap enough that you can afford a decent sound card too.

quite simply, there is no "best" headphone as this depends heavily upon your own preferences and what you are looking for in a headphone.

i will second basroils suggestions:

the ad-lineup has huge soundstaging, good positional audio and a bass light sound which makes them advantageous for gaming though perhaps not as exciting to listen to.

the hd-lineup has decent soundstaging and poisitional and is more neutral with a bit more bass. they are more mellow so are easy to listen to for hours.
