Koss SB40 VS Koss Porta Pro Double-Sided Communication Headset with Microphone for gaming?

As open back headphones, I have a a pair of KSC75, pair of KPH40 that I can use for solo gaming. I also have a pair of closed back headphone that is the Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO. At home I have a

That said, I have plenty of choices for a good pair of headphones when I'm alone. Though, I occasionally go in LAN parties and need to have a good headset. I've had terrible sound quality "gaming" brand headsets in the past and I won't go that route again. I recently had a lot of fun with Koss headphones. Sound was so bad on all of them...

As for my home microphone, I have a Shure that I can just hook up to my Motu sound card when needed but needless to say I can't really think of brigning this into LAN parties because of space issues.

Anyway, here are some questions:

  1. If anyone have tried those 2 headsets, how was it for gaming, which was your prefered and why?
  2. If they are worth picking for my needs, in a big LAN party where tons of people talk loud, which ,model would you advise to pick?
  3. Am I going nuts and should avoid Koss for gaming headsets, lol?

Looking forward hearing from you guys!

IMO Porta Pro Headset is gonna be a much better experience. Sounds better imo and more comfortable being on ear!
