Is the sennheiser hd 419 a good choice? I'll be mostly using it for gaming and movies, and eventually some musics.
Is this a good idea?

The Sennheiser HD 419 bass (like most other Sennheiser headphones) is lacking. So gaming-wise, it's not great. However, it is amazing in electronica.

If you don't mind losing good bass in gaming or in your music, then get it. For movies, it will be fine. It has decent audio quality. It does sound leak pretty badly though.

But please take this post with a grain of salt. I am an audiophile and so I am more harsh when judging headphones and speakers.

I live in Brazil, the taxes are high here, so that headphone I found here for about 180$, and I also would need to get a good soundcard, that would be kinda expensive. I think I'm gonna wait until I travel to the usa, because with 180$ I would be able to get a better headphone.
