I have these headphones. They are quite awesome. Keep in mind they are 250 ohms so need more power to push volume.

Great headphones for anyone wanting to produce or mixing music. If you're using a laptop, you might need more power for this and need an amp/DAC. Works fine with a desktop.

Is this good for gaming? Or not really?

These are great all-around headphones with well above-average sound quality. As others stated, you will need a dedicated headphone amp/DAC to get them to their full potential. Personally I think there are more cost-effective sets of headphones that have virtual 7.1 surround and a built in mic, if that's what you're looking for.

I switched from "gaming" headsets to the closed back version of these and I couldn't be happier. However I also listen to a lot of lossless music too. So that's what I really got them for. I paired it with a JAC atom dac/amp combo and a wireless mod mic and I really enjoy the set up. Mod mic is a little annoying since it's kind of bulky and needs to be charged. But that's a small price for better audio quality.

There are two things where the "gaming" version is essentially indistinguishable to a quality non-gaming branded version: chairs and headphones. Granted in this case, driving 250 ohm cans comes with challenges unrelated to gaming (these are not mobile headphones and). The 80ohm Dt770s are a better example of non-gaming gaming headphones.

Good soundstage, v-shaped sound sig. Be forewarned these have treble peaks that will need to be EQed/or modded to tamp down. For some people they are just easily fatigued because of the sharp treble, or me it was intolerable that I sold/returned all the Beyer cans I tried and owned. Good price however for those who don't mind the sibilance.

I had these before and they were great for gaming. Open back is great for fps games too as it usually does very well with things like footstep location or other enemy audio. Those closely around you might be able to hear what you're listening to though as it has some leakage due to being open back. Nowadays I rock the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X which I find to be a lot more comfortable than the DT990.

These are overrated. Only buy if you like a lot of treble.

A comment like this makes me think you're not powering these 250 ohm headphones adequately. You can't plug cans like this into just any headphone jack, you need some power behind it to get the appropriate sound signature.
It's not just a volume thing. Underpowering high impedance headphones gives you really screwy frequency responses.

I own 2 pairs. I use them primarily for music production. They are not completely flat but all the fuss about ear fatigue from treble peak/sharp treble is way over hyped. I find them very comfortable to use for hours. Since they are 250 ohm you may want an amp if you want them loud. I usually use them with an amp myself, but not always, depending on the application. Also keep in mind they are open back so everyone around you (physically) will hear what you hear from the headphones.

No he is just parroting the hive minded audiophile community. They would have you believe these things are cancer for your ears because the sibilance is "unbearable." To them if it's not sennheiser then it's a waste on garbage.

I have these myself among many others. I highly recommend.
