    Yes around 50-60 max. I can get the HD415s for 50 bucks and since I'm in Canada most of these US stores are out of the question because of shipping and border fees. I can pick up the HD415s at the store. Although people say they are good, many say they are not good for gaming. For me gaming is important. Oh and the HD415 are basically the same as the 435s.

    I have the HD485's myself, very nice set of headphones with amazing quality, I'm thinking I should pick up a headphone amp though, not sure.

    I haven't used the HD435 or HD415, best see what the reviews say for gaming and make your choice.

    Well the 2 big reviews say they are not good for gaming. But I think some users say they are good for gaming. Also users say the Sony ones I have now are good for gaming but I have not seen any big reviews of these Sonys.
