What is the best option ???

RoryRB

So basically i have £100 ($120) and i need a new pair of headphones as my old Logitech G430's are getting a bit old and i would like to know what is the best audio setup i could get for that price.

I was looking at the Audio Technica M50X for just slightly over the budget but i was wondering if a cheaper pair of headphones and an amp would be any better or even a cheap USB sound card as the audio on my PC is fairly old.

M50x are quite nice for their price, it may be worth your time to save for a little bit more or hunt for sales.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Ohh. Well, they're a good choice, I use them myself. You will want to look in to different ear cups, as the included ones do not breathe at all, and another forum member actually got an ear infection because he used them so much.

If you search for "audio Technica earphones" or something along those lines, similar products will show up. There are a lot of these.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

If you don’t wanna spend much and get something that’s comparable to an M50x (which isn’t anything special, extremely overrated and overpriced), look for the AKG K72 or K92. It’s a comfy headphone with decent sound for around $50.
