Headphones for high rank Dota and CS?
I'm looking for something with a little more positional clarity for competitive games. Through doing some lurking, it seems like people really like the ATH-R70x, AKG K712 Pro, and HD600. I'm sort of leaning towards the Audio Technica just from positive past experiences, but the other options look great. I have a somewhat large head and wear a 7 3/8 cap if that info is needed. DAC and amp suggestions are appreciated, too. Any advice at all would be seriously helpful for this audio noob!
Budget: $350-400, not including DAC/amp
Source/amp: None currently, but would love some ideas.
How the gear will be used: Strictly at my desktop, primarily for competitive gaming (most of which is Dota and Counter-Strike), occasionally for music, rarely for single player games and YouTube.
Preferred music genres: Electronic, hip-hop, experimental
Past gear experience: Coming from Sony WH-1000XM3's, and before that I used ATH-50x's.
