I think it depends, the articles talk about Sennheiser, one of my preferred brands, I had like 8 pairs so far and I will chose Sennheiser no matter which other brands are there, it's simply professional audio with studio quality entering the gaming arena.
I think the Rift comes with a great headphones, but it's hard to isolate the exterior sounds, also the adjustment sometimes is not perfect.
I recommend you to try some headphones and if it's possible eyes closed and with the
Razer Surround to try the positional perception.
Maybe you are a Earbud guy and not an over-the-ear guy
