I've recently invested in a new audiophile standard audio set up to primarily focus on footsteps, directional audio imaging and soundstaging for FPS games and I'm blown away. It's literally like havi...

@sk1lld Wow dude that's a lot of pressure! Hope you like them. I'm very confident in them they're an amazing purchase for the price and really light weight and comfy.
If you need a mic for them check out the - "GEEKRIA Boom Mic Headphones Cable Compatible with Sennheiser HD 599SE 598 560S, 2.5mm Jack" (not sure if |I can post a link to amazon)
You have to make sure you get the compatible mic (if you want a mic that is) because the HD560 has a 2.5mm jack input.
Also at 120 OHM's you might need a DAC/amp to power them which is something pretty much all gaming heatsets do not require. I recommend a Schiit Hel 2 as it has the mic in and headphone in.

Got the Sennheiser HD560s last night, am very pleased with them. I do seem to hear more footsteps if that's possible. The soundstage on them is incredible and they are very comfortable, thanks for the recommendation!

This is what my 560's look like with a boom mic cable (just plug and play) no sticky pads or magnets.

Yeah, decided to get that mic also. That for whatever reason won't be here for a while, but I can wait.
Thank you again!- @sk1lldGive the Sennheiser software a try. They have an esports setting that really gives you an edge. You have to change back and forth if you also listen to music but it’s worth it. Music sounds bad lol so you really need to change to music setting. Don’t forget to turn off the side tone, it’s bad. You can download EPOS software for it I think, I need to look into that myself. I think you need to change the dongle out for a cable.
