Of this and the other massdrop headpohones, which would you guys recommend for gaming? I play a lot of FPS and RPG games, I hope there is one that can be a good fit for both genres :-)

MrP627Dt 880 is pretty much the best bang for the buck if you ask me. Superb sound, comfort and buildquality the only bad thing about this is the non removeable cable.

MrP627If you need to communicate with team-mates in FPS PVP games, get the Philips SHP9500 + Cable Boom Microphone (V-Moda compatible version). This combination is the best bang for the buck, even better than PC37X sold by Massdrop. The SHP9500 costs $54 at Amazon during BF deals. It has a detachable 3.5mm cable which makes it compatible with generic boom mics. The Cable Boom Mic is around ~$20 which also works with Audio Technica HPs in case you go that route.
(I realize the question was posted on 2018. OP probably doesn't need an answer anymore.)

gyroscopicsActually in the market again for some headphones! I just tried purchasing the HE4XXs but apparently it can't be shipped to my country. Actually all the headphones can't be shipped to my country anymore which is an absolute bummer. :-( I found a local supplier who offered a fair price for a Beyerdynamic Team TYGR set though. Mic seems outstanding and he says the headphones are a retuned DT990. The only real caveat I see atm is that the cable is not removable.

FlorianskiThanks for replying, I hope you don't mind but I have been seeing the SHP9500 recommended by a lot of people lately, how's the sound signature of those headphones? Just curious. For now I am wrestling with getting a HE4xx (never tried a planar before) over at ebay or just go ahead with Team TYGR. I had the chance to test out the TYGRs and I really loved how they sounded. Everything seemed well balanced with a bit of emphasis on the bass which I liked. The cups did not completely encapsulate my ears as I felt a bit of my earlobes being pressed but they were still pretty comfortable.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.
