I'm looking into buying an open-back headphone but haven't yet decided on which one. I'll be using these to listen primarily to EDM, Jazz and Classical. I also intend to spend a lot of time using them for gaming.

I'm currently considering the AKG K712 pro's and the Sennheiser HD650's. Which of these would you consider most suitable for me? My budget is £200 but I have a £60 Amazon voucher so if I can get it from Amazon UK then I can go up to £260.

As for a microphone, I'm currently considering getting an Antlion ModMic 4.0 (uni-directional or omni-dicrectional???) or getting an completely separate microphone such as the Blue Yeti. My concern is with open-back headphones, will game sound leak into a microphone? I'm not sure which solution to go for.

The Blue Yeti is a pristine and great sound-quality microphone for the price.
