Headphone for gaming

[sargauth]

Is the sennheiser hd 419 a good choice? I'll be mostly using it for gaming and movies, and eventually some musics.
Is this a good idea?

The Sennheiser HD 419 bass (like most other Sennheiser headphones) is lacking. So gaming-wise, it's not great. However, it is amazing in electronica.

If you don't mind losing good bass in gaming or in your music, then get it. For movies, it will be fine. It has decent audio quality. It does sound leak pretty badly though.

But please take this post with a grain of salt. I am an audiophile and so I am more harsh when judging headphones and speakers.

Which one do you recommend? 100$ budget
I wanted the PC360, but it's pretty expensive.

Do you need a microphone?

I think I'm going to get a desk mic. So no.

Shure 440.

Ok, thank you, going to see if I can find here in my country 😀

 

[ksham]

Let me know if you can't. And provide your country of residency.

I live in Brazil, the taxes are high here, so that headphone I found here for about 180$, and I also would need to get a good soundcard, that would be kinda expensive. I think I'm gonna wait until I travel to the usa, because with 180$ I would be able to get a better headphone.
