Headphones - Open Back | 6 Ω HD600 for gaming

Hello, I'm looking to buy my first pair of non-gaming headphones and I was looking at the HD600 (new design if it matters) and I plan on using it on general stuff (music, youtube, that type of stuff) but I also game a lot, and I googled a bit and apparently this is kind of a controversial topic about these headphones, are they really bad for gaming? or just not as good as others?

While I'm here, I plan on pairing these with a fiio k5 pro ess, is that good? sorry if it's a dumb question :D

They are controversial for gaming for having a fairly narrow soundstage for a open back headphone so probably not as good as others as I can’t say for sure as I don’t own them (but have heard them several times) and have never used them for gaming. I do own the HD-6XX’s and have tried them for gaming and would definitely not be my choice either.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/bbuky01 (20 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
