players should use closed cans or monitors for gaming. at least something with isolation. with open backs, all the IMAGING and SOUNDSTAGE is not gonna help if they're struggling to hear footsteps over their GPU fan. if they turn up the volume enough to overcome the ambient noise floor they risk hearing damage over repeated long gaming sessions.

I have a $5,000 PC and the cooling is dead quiet. Top of the line AIO.

yeah, I am gonna go out on a limb and suppose that ppl who have $1.5K+ headphones and a gaming PC mostly put some money into cooling and noise-reduction

Or you can put your PC under the desk and get a case with some proper noise isolation. I've never had problems with open backs (although I use IEMs now, but that's for different reasons).
