I need a head phone or Headset for Gaming/Movies. Please recommend one for ~5-6K.
Analog interface is needed and not USB, as I have a ASUS Xonar ST soundcard.

My choices are Corsair 1400 or Audio Technica ATH-M30x

Flipkart only, as I have a voucher for 5K.

Now i have a question what is the most you will be going to end up doing
1. Movies
2. Gaming

If you are going for mostly gaming go for Logitech g430 7.1
If you want it for movies you can go for m30x but in that case i would suggest you to go for m40x coz it is more of a natural headphones with proper amount of everything and also it has 90 degree movable head where as it is only 15 degree in case of m30x.

Both activities are about the same. 2-3 hrs of gaming 2-3 hrs of movies. will do some research on the ones you mentioned.
