I'm going on a few trips soon, and need a nice pair of in-ear headphones to fill my audio needs. I have narrowed it down to three so far: Shure SE215's, Shure SE315's, and Sennheiser IE80's. The only thing making this difficult for me is the price differences. Will I notice a significant difference between the different pricepoints? (I should also add that I will be using these a loooot, so comfort and durability is a slight factor) What do you guys recommend? Thanks!!

Thanks so much guys!! I actually love all of you

Greetings gentlemen, I just got a new pair of headphones and am now confronted with the task of burning them in. First of all, am I wasting my time by burning them in? If not, how should I go about doing it? I've seen youtube playlists with white/brown/pink noise claiming to "burn in headphones", should I play those through the headphones while I'm at work, or is that just a gimmick? -Thanks a lot

Well it must be better then

Why are they so much more expensive then?

I'm doubting myself now... I was going to go with the 700x's, but I have the money and am perfectly willing to spend it for the 900x's... Should I splurge the extra, and get them?

Thanks so much for all the advice guys! I think I'm going with a pair of Audio Technica ATH AD700x's and a decent mic!

What difference does virtual surround actually make?

Does the "gaming" designation on a headset/headphones make a difference? Will gaming oriented pairs be more optimized for gaming things or is it just marketing again? If they are optimized, how?

Another question gents, is there any difference between headphones that advertise "7.1 Surround Sound", and other headphones, or is it just marketing? Does this virtual surround actually make a difference?

I intend to use them for gaming only as I have a set dedicated to music. As far as mic, it really doesn't matter whether it's integrated or not

To be honest, I don't know much about headphones/headsets, so I'm open to anything really haha

Are they better than wired options? (I like the wireless part, but its not essential) Thanks!

I've finally moved from console to pc gaming and am now considering a change in audio. I've looked at the Astro A50's and really like their design as well as wireless feature, but I've also heard good things about the ATH-AG1 from Audio Technica. Since price is same/similar, what do you think would be a better choice? I play aaaaall sorts of games so advantages in specific genres are not all that important. If you think there are better options for the ~$300 price rage I would love to hear your suggestions too! Thanks for the help guys!
