Hi,

Until recently I used Razer Electra which I really enjoyed both in sound quality and gaming experience but unfortunately they broke.
So right now I'm looking for a replacement,could you guys suggest a sub 100$ headphones which have good sound and gaming experience

I would add the Philips SHP9500. Probably more balanced than the 518 but less bass.

Gemini HSR 1000 (Hyper X Cloud same headphone but with built in mic)  But it's far cheaper.

 

Best bang for buck headphone I've ever heard and then some. Heck... I sold my DT 770's after buying them.

HyperX Cloud 1 or ATH-M40X (or any other good pair of headphones) and a seperate mic.

These 2 options will deliver the best quality.

I second this.

My Grading System on headphones: SS= 98-100, S= 95-97, A+= 91-94, A= 86-90, A-= 81-85, B+= 76-80, B= 71-75, B-= 66-70, C+= 61-65, C= 56-60, C-= 51-55, D+= 46-50, D= 41-45, D-= 36-40, F+= 31-35, F= 26-30, F-= 21-25, Tier 1 crap= 16-20, Tier 2 crap= 11-15, Tier 3 crap= 6-10, Dahell tier= 1-5, No hope= 0                 Nevertheless, "Enjoy what you enjoy without starting some silly culture war" - Lachlanlikesathing. If you Recommend the M50/X in a thead, I would probably send you a dick pic.

Yea.... It wasn't just based on the sound but it was based on many factors.

 

#1 I was very fond of the Gemini's sound. Better than I could have expected. "Giant killer".

 

#2 The DT's were 7 years old, and needed parts. I did replace pads which helped the sound. But things were starting to snap in places.

 

#3 I wanted to sell before they were worthless. I got plenty of use out of them and found cheaper and better in my opinion.
