I'd go with the Senns

Sennheiser makes some of the best headphones out there. I use the HD 25s for DJing but if you're just using it for personal audio and gaming the price is a little steep - the pair you found will provide great sound for a reasonable price.

yeah, i just love them. i recently tried the new sennheisers px 100 and px 200...what can i say? to my ears they just sound flat compared to the porta pro...same for the akg k27i in the same price class. but then again once you get used to a specific pair of headphones, it's hard to move on. anyway, imho the porta pro is a legend and still worth every single penny!

Those Senns are alittle tight on the brain. If you have a med-large head they'll bug you quickly. They have great sound and have a closed back for good isolation.

AKG K 240 DF's....sweet studio HP's- great for gaming (BF2!!) with a nice open sound. Semi closed, my favorite pair so far. I dont know what it is, but sound just kinda floats around you. they have a wide field, but not as loud as the Senns
