HD-662 F : Excellent headphones for recording and gaming.

I can certainly recommend these for this price. The sound quality is absolutely fantastic - the bass is fast and accurate but still deep. Mid range gives a nice flavor, and certainly is not scooped in the way that most cheap headphones perform. High's are a little harsh at first, but with time they get softer and you can certainly enjoy your music with these after some burn-in time.

Thse aren't the most accurate headphones I've heard, although the freq. response is quite flat and sterile, you should not try to do any mixing with these, because when I listen to music with my Behringer monitors, they reveal much more information inside the track.

The downside is that these are not comfortable in any way. At first, these are extremely tight and they feel like they try to smash your head into little pieces, so you have to shape them for many hours - thankfully they are very durable and you can also switch some Beyerdynamic or AKG earpads to these I think (I haven't done that).

Best uses for these are certainly recording vocals - because the isolation is superb. Almost no sound penetrates these when you have them on, and almost no sound leaks from these either.

So as a summary: If you use optics you might want to reconsider some more comfortable options, but if you want cheap, effective and accurate monitoring headphones - go for these.
