200 euro headphones

[SuperStroopwafel]

Hey guys,

 

My dad said he had a present for me, he wanted to give me 'the true audio experience'. He said I can grab headphones up to 200 euro.

Alto 200 euro for everything, If I need a AMP etc. I'm willing to pay some myself if needed. 

I will use the headphones for gaming, listening to music and making music myself (on the computer.)

I like hardstyle (so that's bass.) But also house and some old school pop.

 

Looking forward to the suggestions. Buying from Holland

 

Thanks

If you can stretch you budget a bit you maybe able to get DT 990 Pro and a Fiio E10.

Could you show me a site that you would buy tech from Holland.

berdynamic provides good bass for that price range, look into DT 770 or 880's 32 or 80 ohm versions

if you NEED a dedicated amp, since you don't have fiio over there, you can look into zero or o2 amps

I'd take a look at the Sennheiser HD558 if you can. However these are open, so they will leak some sound, and let in some sound. EDIT: not a lot of bass though, my eyes failed me, didn't see that you wanted a strong bass.

 

inb4 M50 suggestions- I strongly recommend you get something else, like Shure SRH440 with 840 pads, or if you wanna spend more money than necessary, Shure SRH840. these are monitoring headphones (sort of), they are closed, so  they don't leak that much sound. Sennheiser 380 Pro and 280 Pro are also some monitoring headphones. You could also look at beyerdynamic headphones, they usually have a nice strong bass, but most of them are 80 or 250 ohm headphones, where you will need a headphone amp. Your motherboard might have one though, what kind do you have?

I'd still recommend a Zero or O2 amp over an e10, get an e10 if that's what you need to fit your budget

I really like the Sennheiser HD 558, they are 'only' 120 here. So I can purchase something else too. But I have a MSI Z87-G45 motherboard. I knew the specific soundcard, But I dont remember it It has Audio boost I can tell you that.

Realtek ALC1150.

The same as almost any other Z87 mobo.

Also to get a Fiio amp the best option would be Mp4nation.

 

And where did you find a 558 for €120?

and I have a 10 euro coupon.

With the audio boost, it probably has a 600 ohm headphone amplifier, which might have a 10 ohm or more output impedace, like my Xonar D2X. then you'd be better off getting a higher impedance headphone, like one of those beyerdynamic ones. I know many people here like the DT990's, which are open, so they're good for anything from gaming to music and movies. Then there's the DT880's, which are fairly neutral, and are semi-open. I know Logan from Tek Syndicate likes them, and he listens to metal. then there's the DT770's, which are closed, and have quite the bass, though some people might call it loose.

 

with the headphone amp (not sure if it has a high output impedance, but I think so) it might ruin the bass response of lower impedance headphones, as far as I've heard.

I love my new DT 770 PROs (250 Ohm version). I would stay away from any 80 Ohm Beyerdynamic pair because, the 770s for sure and maybe the 880s and 990s, have a slight different design compared to the 32 Ohm or 250 Ohm version which makes them produce a bit different sound (a lot of base mostly). Also usually the higher impedance versions are cheaper (at least 50 euros difference between the 80 and 250 Ohm versions in my country, 200 and 145 respectively). I would also get an O2 amp+DAC if your motherboard doesn't have an amp. The 770s being closed headphones have a lot of strong and satisfying base (I'm a basehead too). Here is a good guide about Beyerdynamic headphones: http://www.head-fi.org/t/513393/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more

+1 for the shures, don't go for the 380 or 280 pro unless you want really flat, neutral headphones. If you can get a amp with a pair of bt770 that would be pretty good as well. Also the v-moda m80 and m100 might be you cup of tea although they might be out of your price range.

Custom One Pro maybe?
