I have looked far and wide for a set of headphones with emphasis on audio and comfort, and the GMR-545 is a keep. After five years of using the Koss Porta Pro for both films, gaming, and music I wanted to catch up with technology, but finding headphones that sits comfortably on my head proved a challenge. I tried alot of more known brands in the gaming industry from Logitech to Razer but they either had medicore audio quality, or became hard to wear for long gaming sessions. The GMR-545 is so light weight you will like the Porta Pro completely forget that you are wearing them, and thanks to the light fit and open back heat buildup is almost nonexistent. The audio is almost on par with the Porta Pro but more aimed towards gamers. In games they sound amazing, I also find them very good for watching movies. For music I still prefer the Porta Pro. What truly make the GMR-545 shine is the microphone quality with barely any background noise and crisp audio. The only negative I can think of is the microphone placement as it tends to get in the way when not using it. I highly recommend using these headphones with an amplifier like the Sennheiser GSX 1000 to push them to the limit. With the music profile on the amplifier you get excellent audio for music. I was also surprised at how well the headphones handle 7.1 surround sound in games. As a conclusion at this price range you will get everything you need for daily use whether you want to use it for gaming, watching films, or listening to music.
