Headphones

[tbalpha]

Just trying to get some opinions on headphones, looking to buy a new set sometime today and figured I'd see what everyone liked. Looking for something really really comfy that has great sound.

Whats your budget?

[Yami]

Was going to ask the same thing.

[ayako]

Yea I automatically assume you don't want a 1200$ pair but theres alot of variance in price, anywhere from 80$ to 600+

[Jurwi]

Indeed, it's kinda hard to recommend anything without price range set. And does it have to be a headset? In general you're much better off with just headphones and desktop microphone if you're in for great sound.

If you want some cheapass headset, go with something that has fatal1ty in its name. Not great sound but it's decent for its low price.

He did say headphones. Its generally bad to get headsets, you get the quality of a 20$ headset and a 5$ mic in a 100$ package

[Alienmonkey]

what the others said and do you want specific headphones or normal jack in headphones?

I am rather fond of my g35 for my computer (and they work only for the PC since there is a usb stick in them)
But for daily use i got a pair of Audio-Technika ATH-M50 and i love the shit out of those for everything most amazing sounding headphones i have ever owned.

Can't always be sure when people ask them for gaming. Often they mean headset even when saying headphones.

And there's such a wide variety of headsets out there that you'd do best to inform us what you need them for and what features you'd like to see.

Just looking for something that i can communicate over vent with and listen to music at the same time while tanking and stuff. Budget wise, like to stay under 150$

Save your money and get a mediocre headset. You're not looking to do anything amazing with it.

Links to three reliable brands of headsets. Browse the features yourself. I'm not comfortable recommending you a $30 dollar crummy headset, but at the same time I don't want to give you something with features you won't use.

Logitech Audio Peripherals
Steelseries Audio Peripherals

Personally, this is my favorite headset:
Razer Carcharias

And the one I use at the moment:
Turtle Beach DX11

can't go wrong with g35 if your looking for something to just cover basic computer needs plus they sound good and last long in the process!

g35 is awesome
-sound is clear and crisp
-seems durable (mine just sits on my desk and i'm careful with it)
-7.1sound
-keeps me warm in winter, i dont touch it in summer though.

Surround sound in headphones are semi gimmick

Headphones: Grado SR60i for ~$70-80

The best sounding unamped headphones, period. Comfort may be an issue since they are an on-ear design, but the newer earpads aren't nearly as abrasive as the ones on older Grados.

Logitech G930. Got a pair for Christmas, and I love them oh so much.

Still one of the best headsets out there and they are only about $40 these days.
