best set headphones/headset

[Th3Brofessiona1]

iam have been looking arround for a new pair of headphones/headsets and i was wondering what were the best/really good and my budget is around $200-$300

[ShearMe]

Do you want them to isolate, or is open ok?

Do they need to be portable?

Past headphones/headsets you've enjoyed the most?

[Mecami]

For that budget always the Beyerdynamic dt 770/880/990 (250 Ohm) with an amp/dac like the Fiio E10. <- That's my opinion

Btw 770s are closed, 880s are half-open, 990s are open.

i would either go with the Sennheiser Hd 558 and a blue snowball or ATH m-50x with the Zalman Mic1

iam fine with them being open and they dont need to be portable and right now i have a pair of astro a40 and there alright i just was looking for something better

Can't go wrong with the DT990 or HD558 mentioned above, I'll add the ATH-AD900X to the list if gaming is their primary use.

in your opinion what would be the best

I would go with either the DT 990 or HD 558, but I would lean towards the 990 though. Also get a Fiio E10 as an AMP and DAC combo.

It's not that simple.

 

The Sennheisers are bass weighted, the Beyerdynamics are V-shaped, and the audio-technicas are treble-weighted. Personally, I'm treble-sensitive, so I prefer the Sennheisers.

At the $200~300 range there's also the AKG K/Q701 which has more focus in the mids and trebles than the HD558 or DT990. Of the suggested headphones it's closest to the ATH-AD900/X, but it uses the stretching headband thing rather than the 3D wing support thing. I love my pair, but it's definitely not for everyone; really good positioning in games, though, just like the AD900

would these headphones be good for playing games as well

Uh don't a new thread on the same topic. Someone will respond if you just wait. But yeah that should be great. Just get the pro version though. The premium is not worth it.
