New Headphones?

AFlyingBuffalo

I recently bought these $25 Iron Man themed headphones and the band keeps cracking because it's a pretty cheap plastic, so I'm looking for some good sounding, comfortable, over-ear headphones for around $60CAD (CAD NOT USD) for gaming at my PC. Brand doesn't matter as long as they are reputable.

Thanks!

Superlux HD668B and HD681B are good, I believe the 668B is better though.

 

They should be under budget too, considering that I could get the 681 in Australia for $40

I've read all the replies so far but all these headphones that have been recommended so far are $70 and up in Canada. I don't know if you read it or not but it's in bold, underlined, and a large font (just to make sure), but I need the prices in CAD not other currencies. Sorry if I sound a bit pushy/rude/like a jerk.

I tried searching for those and on Amazon they are regularly almost $100. What website did you find those on? (for reference) http://www.amazon.ca/Superlux-681-Dynamic-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B002GHIPYI

Again, sorry if I sounded like a jerk in my last post.

Also, I'm not looking at sale prices right now I'm looking at the regular price.

Yes, I'm not looking at the sale prices, just the regular ones without tax.

Why are you looking at the "list" price? 

PC Audio Setup = Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm and Sennheiser pc37x (also for xbox) hooked up to Schiit Fulla 3

Amazon list prices are BS. The "sale" price you see is actually the real list price. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

The reason I'm looking at the regular price is because I currently don't have enough money to purchase it and when I do the sale might be over, so it's just to make sure I'll have enough, sale or no sale. Also I've been on Massdrop recently looking at stuff there and I found this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/samson-sr950-headphoneare they any good?

Yeah, MSRP is almost never what Amazon sells electronics for. Fifty bucks sounds close to "normal" Canadian pricing.

Sennheiser HD 598's

 

Best headset i've ever used. Can hear everything in games, Music is awesome and not too overpowering. Actually sounds like music instead of being inside a subwoofer.

 

Great headset. Well worth the money.

That's out of the OP's price range, wouldn't you agree?

But the 598's are $230, that's a whole lotta cash.

Whoops! Sorry I thought it was $600 lol.

 

Eh, hm. $60 on a headset you aren't expecting much at that point. I'd go with some simple turtlebeaches. PX22-PX21-PX3 Series.

I'm not looking for headsets, I'm looking for just headphones, I already ordered a mic. But thank you for the suggestion anyways.
