Best all-round headphones for 5-6k

I've used my Grado Sr80i for movies and music for almost a year. I would definitely prefer the AD700 but since you mentioned that you need more bass, then the Sr80i is a AD700 with more bass and a tad warmer. Both are open cans. Both don't require amping to shine, they're both easily driven and pretty comfy. They're both almost the same price, and the grado build quality is amazing.
So my question is, why not?
 
Thank you guys for the suggestions

I will be testing roccat kave this weekend , if it turns out to be good will go for that else for ad-700... Sound Card is not a issue will purchase in another month or two ... but what i wanted to knw is i have a 785gmt-usb3h mobo and i have put a ati 5770 card so is der space below the card to put the sound card .. n1 using the same board as i m or having similar architecture plz help me out.
 
lol @ people saying ad 700 for gaming.don't get hyped by headfi.ad700 are first and foremost for music.

it has awesome sound stage.so it does really helpfull in multi player games.at the same time playing single player games especially u need nice bass for some explosive effects or scary moments in games like dead space 2
 
@babloos

I knw dat its not meant for gaming but not just headfi i have read arnd 4-5 reviews, all say its awesome for music and good for games , whereas kave reviews sugges its good for music and awesome for gaming will be testing kave at frnds place , but the problem is he has a gud sound card whereas i am on onboard , so if i feel the music quality it offers for me is gud enuf i will go for kave ....

p.s:- by awesome music i m referring to music quality at that price range :)
 
dude all those in us mostly will be playing only multiplayer call of duty at most :P

you can also try tritton not the 720,tritton ax pro dolby digital 5.1 i know couple of my friends who have brought it they were so much impressed by it
 
I play CS 1.6 only MP not COD :) , if i get positional audio in CS better then sennheiser hd 202 it will make me happy :) , in bw can the roccat kave be connected to a music player (not as 5.1 just connecting the front speaker cable) , if yeah how gud will it wrk

There is enough space to fit the sound card, but depending upon the type of cooler you have on your HD5770, there will be just enough space for the air intake of the graphics card.

Still, a sound card would be highly recommended as it is the most vital component if you want any sound quality at all.

Awesome man the pictorial depiction really helped , thanx a lot .

I have a fan as intake exactly at side of the cpu i guess i can take one mroe fan and put at side as there is a one more slot for fan at side wic will help blow air to gpu if i place it as intake i guess, so card temps will be lowered right ...
 
yes...the Roccat kave can be hooked up with the audio player / normal 3.5 mm stereo jack ! it performs good ( not amazing ) but good....i have seen a lot of ppl using Kave at zapak ...btw..zapak's dont have the 5.1 audio cards..so these ppl only plug only 1 jack and it works well...
