I am looking for Headphones in 5-7k price range. Main purpose is music then gaming and movies.
Is Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 @Rs.7,200.00 is good? will these headphones also needs amplifiers?
I will be using the headphones with my desktop PC with inbuilt realtek soundcard.

or Audio Technica ATH-T500@5k

I will sincerely suggest you to save up some more and get a Sennheiser HD598 and a basic entry level amp from FiiO.AD700 is not bad,but not worth 7.2k.
It does miss the lower frequencies completely(zero bass headphones)but fairly easy to drive.

HD598 is Rs.13,949.25 its way out of my budget...

Also how about Roccat kave for 6k from ebay ?or CM Sirus S for 5369 from flipkart

I have Ozone Spark headphones, but its very uncomfortable(too heavy and crushing my ears)..

I also have Sennheiser HD201(its very light and comfortable) but the audio jack has loose connection..

Edit: I ordered Corsair Vengeance 1500 on ebay from ITwares for 4999/-
Razer Megalodon was out of my budget at 9k..
