Takstar Pro 82 dirt cheap at £45 and more sound isolating than the DT 770's .
Dont get the DT 880's , got those before the DT 770 and PRO 82's they are semi open but are actually more open than my old Sennheiser HD 595's (but do sound fantastic though).

Love my AKG K550s, the seal and noise isolation is excellent and you can game & music till 4am without the world hearing it at low/medium volumes also.
Its very low ohm I think 32ohm, won't need to bother with amps, works perfect with my soundblaster z also.

Right i tried out though Sony MDR-1A they were comfy, to much bass though couldn't find footsteps no where near as easy as my 598SE's. Plus with the leather cups, didn't like them due to sweat.
Didn't like the feel of the AKG's mentioned.
Sennheiser 598CS - Closed ones have gone down a lot in price but reviews don't seem so great.
It's a tossup between 770pro 80ohms and 250ohms. I'm just trying to figure out which will be better for games. I'd have thought the 250's if the bass is less but tighter?

Sennheiser is pretty much open headphone specialist, so can't really expect much from their closed ones. (actually they invented open headphones)
80 ohm DT770 has straight 3 meter cable and 250 ohm version coiled 3m cable, if that's important.
Don't know if there's significant frequency response difference.
Here 250 ohm one actually has more lower bass:

Yeah i know it sucks, need something though as the girlfriend is so loud and unfortunately not in the position to have my pc setup elsewhere or her to be anywhere else.
It's one of the main reasons i still haven't made my mind up that and being pretty ill recently.
I'll stick use my opens when possible, just currently with the missus being on a career break it's impossible to game without her there.

Really happy with my choice, decided on the 80OHM as i didn't want a coiled wire.
Footsteps aren't as clear as my 598SE's but they are pretty damn good and will probably be even better once broken in a bit and even more so when fully.

yeah, the increase in bass was always going to slightly mask footsteps but at least explosions will have plenty of rumble.
I have the big brother of the DT 990, the DT 1990 and the Tesla drivers in those somehow manage to produce insane amounts of detail and imaging even though the bass has tons of grunt, well worth the money.

Yeah it masks them but not as badly as i was expecting it. Really loving how comfy these sound and how good they are and went with the full black ones and they look awesome.
