Thanks 
So both the Takstar and Cooler master are very good for positional audio? I like better the design of the MH752. Maybe the bass slide of the pro 82 can be interesting for some songs and some games?
Oh, I also forgot to add they weigh nothing. they are easily the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned. You can barely even tell you are wearing headphones.

Yeah, it could bring out some low end that is not there much on the 752’s without little eq help. The low end is there, it just doesn’t have much slam to it. give it a slight eq bump and they bump. i would imagine the takstar 82’s are the same way.
Ok, it’s nice that you can get more base with those via eq tunning. From the videos and comments they seem like pretty much the same headphones but it’s true that your 752’s look more interesting in general. As long as they have the accurate imaging it’s great for me 
The imaging is great. very easy to determine what way footsteps are coming from for instance.
Thank you! Do you know anything about imaging and positional audio in the others?
@Crackem Yep, Takstar Pro 82 or MH751 is the best choice at this price if you need closed back. Bass is actually not good for competitive gaming, as it can mask footsteps and such.
If you can afford it, I would highly, highly recommend also getting the Koss KSC75 headphones. I know they look silly, but hear me out.
You could use these as competitive gaming headphones. The reason being, they may have a low price, but Koss is well known for making silly looking headphones that actually have super high quality drivers in them. These have even more accurate imaging and soundstage than some of the more expensive headphones I have ever tried. Even M0N uses these the most out of all his thousands of dollars of equipment.
I would certainly pick these up as well from Amazon for only $14. They may look weird, but trust me, they beat out many head for this application in the hundreds of dollars prices.
I would go for the Cooler Master or the Takstar Pro 82 that has the bass boost slider on it, and also get these Koss KSC75 for $14. You would still be under budget.

The Audio-Technica ATH-A550Z are pretty good for competitive, but not the most portable

Yeah I want to use them in public transport and other spaces. Rest them around my neck and stuff. These doesn’t seem portable enough haha but thanks a lot for the recommendation!
Good thing about the KSC75 is that they are so small they fit in my tiny pockets too lol.

Yeah they seem super portable xd, tho probably not much noise isolation. For home use they should be good.

So how are these headphones ranked for competitive gaming (imaging, positional audio, etc) form best to worst?
You mean these?
Hmm…
I cannot say for certain, @M0N would know more, but I will say the Takstar Pro 82 and MH751 would be identical since they are the exact same headphones, just different branding.
The M40x are pretty good from what I hear, the stock pads are just not as comfortable as the Takstar models. The Status CB-1 are good, but they do have some durability issues from what I hear. Again, not sure about positional audio on these models, but I do know they are all fairly good. Takstar models would be more comfortable though than the others, without pad changes.
I would PM M0N or ask him about this question, he knows more than I ever will lol.

Yes, I know about comfort and build quality from the videos and forums. Takstar and MH are the best in comfort and the m40x’s need pad change for sure, I know because my m50s are not very comfortable haha. Tho HM5 normal pads are 20 euro more and the angled ones that Zeos uses are harder to find and even more expensive here. About the CB-1s I’m concerned about the build quality and that they are not that good for portability imo when you put them around your neck because the pad’s rotation is spring loaded. The main thing i wanna know is the competitive gaming performance side by side.

Hope you like them!
I would not use the 7.1 gaming attachment that comes with it personally if you are playing games, makes everything sound too weird and inaccurate. Would be fine for listening to music though. Feel free to share your thoughts on them when you get them. Happy listening!
You should get those Koss KSC75 at some point too!
