Hey guys, apologies for bothering you with my indecisiveness yet again, I've spent some time price hunting for all the headphones I thought would be worth a buy, and these are the results: Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm - €135 Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm - €140 (will need to buy an AMP) AKG K361 - €105 AKG K371 - €140 Shure SRH840 - €115 Meze 99 Neo - €200 All of them fit the budget so the only thing that prevents me from making a choice are the minor nuances when they are compared against one another. I have to admit, no matter how many reviews I read or the details of each of these headphones, I can't seem to make a decision since all of them look so similar I'm not particularly well-versed in sound quality, so whether some headphones have good bass, midrange, the treble doesn't really mean much to me because I can't go into a store and test them out to notice the differences between them before making a decision on which one I should buy, so I have to make sure that the ones I get will be a good choice. In your opinion, out of all of these, which one would you take if you don't do any professional / studio editing, mixing, etc. and would mainly use them for your everyday purposes at home (music, movies, video clips)? Rice, I'd also appreciate your input on this.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into those ones as well!

Well, I'm not looking to buy headphones for gaming, so it's not really important if they make a difference there or not. I'll look into the 250 Ohm, but what worries me is that I'll need to buy an amplifier for them, which hopefully won't cost me over €200. Nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion Rice. I'll do a bit more reading and price hunting, and report back on what I've found.

Got it! Thanks for the suggestion. I did forget to mention that I have a AsRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard (which has a Realtek ALC898 audio codec), and that I will be using onboard audio, so I'm not sure whether or not it will be able to handle 250 Ohm headphones, but I guess if I buy them, I'll see. Also, why 250 Ohm? How much difference is there compared to the 80 Ohm DT 770s?

But I already stated all those things in the OP?! The only thing that I didn't mention was what type of genre of music I listen to, which I can't say since I listen to everything from time to time. And as for sound quality, I'm afraid I can't be specific about that either since I'm not that well informed about these sorts of things, but I did own Kingston HyperX Cloud and AudioTechnica ATH-M40X before they broke at the hinge, so something along those lines or better in terms of sound quality would be nice. EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you replied to another user, and not me.

I can't find any of these sold as new, only used. Any other suggestions?

Hi, guys! I need some help finding new headphones, but I'm really not well knowledgeable in this field. I've done a few hours of searching, but as soon as I stumbled into the audiophile realm I got quickly overwhelmed, so I need some help. Ideally, I would prefer to spend around €150 ($180) or less, but €200 ($250) is the limit only if it's worth it. I listen to a lot of music and watch tons of movies, so I would like headphones which are more turned to this aspect if possible. Noise cancellation is a must! What's most important to me is soundproofing. I live in a noisy neighborhood, so I would prefer not to hear anything outside when I put them on. I just want some good, quality headphones that are comfortable to wear, and sound really good. I'm no audiophile, so I don't care for the best sound quality, just what sounds really good with music and videos. Additional info that might help: I'm looking for over-ear, closed headphones, preferably wired, but I wouldn't mind wireless. I will use them only indoors on my PC, and for regular use (music, YouTube, movies, etc.) I don't play video games as much as I used to, so "gaming" brands can be ignored (unless they're good and within the budget of course) A mic. would be welcome, but if it doesn't fit into the price range, then it's not necessary Something that has durable materials, because I plan to take good care of them, and don't plan on replacing them for a couple of years From what I've seen, everyone seems to recommend Sony WH-1000XM3, but they're out of my budget where I live (€230+). I live outside the US, so the prices may be different here. Still, if you were in my shoes and had a budget like this, which one would you buy?

I'm well aware that you can learn programming, data science, etc... without being good at math, but one thing I always keep hearing is that; the better you are with math concepts, the better your problem-solving skills become. Seeing how many things in programming derives from concepts in math (functions, vectors, matrices, etc...), do you believe having a strong foundation in math would help someone in this type of field? I'm asking this because I'm in a bit of a tough situation right now. I'm looking to enter college this year and I have only 3.5 months left to prepare for the entrance exam. The entrance exam is 10 math questions, and let me tell you that my knowledge in math is really, really bad (something like 7th or 8th grade perhaps) :( While I think that I have enough time to prepare myself for the exam, I think that the only way for me to pass it would be through rote learning. So I'm in a bit of a pickle where I can choose to either pause this year and study math properly to establish a good foundation, or I can go with the plan right now, enter college sooner and not 'waste' a year. I've heard a lot that having a good foundation in math is beneficial in software engineering, so I would like to know based on the replies I get what course of action I should take. As I matured, I began to find math actually very interesting, and it's a science which I would love to study properly, to help me in "abstract thinking" and improve my problem-solving skills, because if I'm looking to be a software engineer, I may as well give it my best, so I hope it would help. However, if I take the entrance exam this year, it'll be as I said, through rote learning. I won't be able to quite understand all the concepts clearly, but at least I won't need to wait another year just to enter college. I really want to hear your opinions on this, how much beneficial is math for software engineers? Does having a strong foundation lead to better problem-solving? If two programmers were assigned a task and both of them have spent an equal amount of time (let's say 10k hours) practicing programmers, but one has better math knowledge than the other, would that person be able to produce a better/faster solution than the other guy? A slightly off-topic question I'd like to ask is: As someone who is 25 years old, am I old to enter college? I never knew what I wanted to do in life, so after graduating high school, I never planned which college I would go to, but now that I know, I think I'll feel awkward being the oldest guy in the class :\

Okay, after some snooping around these are my options: DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm - 140€ HyperX Cloud II - 85€ DT 990 - 163€ Sennheiser HD 559 - 89€ Sennheiser HD569 - 152€ Sennheiser HD599 - 177€ M40X - 95€ Only Cloud II, M40X, and HD559 don't cross the budget, so it's likely that I'll take one of these. But if anyone can vouch for the others, if they will make a noticeable difference considering the price, then I might consider them. Suggestions on which one to take?

Thanks for the recommendation. Another which I found that caught my attention was Audio Technica M40X, any opinion on this one ?

Hey EsaT, thanks for replying. To answer some of your questions. Noisy environment. I don't have any preferences, I was never paying attention to the bass while having my Cloud headset, so recommend whatever you think is best.

Recently, my HyperX Cloud headset ran into an issue where it failed to produce sound in the right bud and no matter how much I tried searching for ways to fix it, nothing worked. After owning them for 3 years, they served me great, but it's time for me to look for new ones, and I have no idea where to start and what to look for. So I hope you guys can recommend me some. The budget for my new headphones is 120€ ($140) max, and all I'm looking for in new headphones is: - Great sound quality (most important) - Comfortable - No "gaming" gimmicks (7.1 simulated surround, LED's, designed for 'progamers' etc...) - Mic is not necessary, but no problem if it's included Any recommendations? Thanks in forward.

Anyone ?

Forgot to mention that bookmarks manager doesn't help.

Every time I move my bookmark folders in Chrome, their position keeps resetting after every time I exit the browser. I don't understand why this is happening and while it's a minor annoyance I would rather fix it. Any suggestions?
