Would these sound good for gaming/movies? And would they be comfortable being worn for a long time?

Due to the serious lack of bass, I can't recommend these for movies and much less gaming. And no, they aren't very comfortable when worn for a long time. I have to readjust mine every 30 min or so.They are DJ headphones and really should be used with professional equipment for the best experience. Even phones and iPods aren't very good with them, all due to their high Ohms.

They dont exactly lack bass in measurements but if you are used to bass heavy stuff like sony xbs or skullcandies, it will seem lacking.If you want something more bass heavy in this price range theres the m audio q40, sony xb500, donscorpio dolphin from penon audio, and phillips citiscape downtown)

They have a low impedence of 32 ohms but have a sensitivity of 99db which is around 4db less than usual (which is huge in difference in db). If you listen loud, this isn't your headphone.

They sound great for anything. I don't really use them, but my teenaged son wears them for hours on end, so they've got to be reasonably comfortable. The ear cup is deeper, and the phones lighter, than the old Koss Pro4AA, which has always been my standard for great sound

I don't think any headphones are comfortable to wear for a long time. But I've worn the BOSE noiseless, and I would say these are pretty up there. I take trans-Pacific flights (10-13 hours), so that means I've worn these for about 15 hour stretches. I wouldn't say I didn't feel they were there, but think of the alternatives (tremendous engine/air conditioning noise). So these are definitely a must-have! Also, I don't believe in buying any headsets over $120 or $150 unless you're a snobby "audiophile." So these are your best bet!

They should work perfectly for for PS4 since they are a Sony product. They are very comfortable but after about four hours of using, they do start to give pain to the top of my head. I am usually able to deal with this though.

Yes, I recommend then, specially for movies. They look good, they are sturdy and the sound is great.

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

Yeah i use them for gaming all the time. I play CS:GO and other games where hearing other players is important and i think these work great. And honestly any Amp that has a 1/4 plug in will do the trick. I just have a $20 amp and it works really well

I use them to watch all sorts of things, in addition to playing games. The headphones don't feature hardware-based surround (just stereo), but they get the job done and sound good. As long as your stereo supports 3.5mm jacks, you'll be fine by default. The headphones should come with a gold-plated amp adapter, too.

I used mine on an airplane to listen to music from my ipod. I also use these when I sometimes watch movies on my laptop. Of course these aren't noise cancellation headphones, but the ear cups fit so well over your ears they might as well be. Sound quality is great and they have good, deep bass so I don't see you having any issues hearing movies. They're also very comfortable for long term use.

Yes, i think they are excellent for movies. Sound quality is almost perfect. The only issue I had was that it did not have volume control. This was easy to fix, i bought from amazon Koss VC20 Volume control for about $8.

Yes, the complaints about these being uncomfortable are warranted. I've used my set for under an hour and I'm already looking to replace them. Be extra wary if you wear glasses while listening to these!

i've worn them for more than an hour and they are comfortable; but i use headphones (not earbuds) for longer periods of time.

I've actually never used the for that because i have turtle beach headsets, but i believe if they actually connect to the ps3 then they'll do great. The sound from them are pretty good for the price. They're no BEATS but they still sound good for more then 3/4 cut off the price.

I wouldn't suggest it. They are good for my use, outdoor, but will not provide the full rage usually required for gaming application

They should be able to but I'm not sure, I just used these for gaming and listening to music, but they aren't expensive in any way, shape, or form so I guess it couldn't hurt to try

They are awesome for gaming. The only drawback is that you have to buy the attachable mic if you game online. I don't have the mic so I can't speak to that piece. Good luck.

Yes, I have been using them for a long time. I have numerous pairs for game play. I use it for Skype also.

I can't say since I've used them only for listening to vinyl or CD's for an hour or two at each sitting. I believe that for a closed pad style phone they are very comfortable but I am thinking back to the days of the heavy closed phones by Koss or Superex which were very uncomfortable. What is your priority; good sound or comfort? If comfort is your priority you might want a smaller semi-closed type headphone. If you can compromise these are a fine choice. As others have said, expect these to improve in sound - a more balanced response - over time.
