Looking for a pair of headphones

EL02

I'm looking for decent headphones that will last a while before wearing out. I tend to keep mine for a long time (4-5 years). I've been using the Konfulon hs-01($20 chinese brand) for 4 years now. Here's what i found for about $50:

  1. MSI immerse GH30 v2
  2. Cougar Phontum Essential
  3. HyperX CloudX Stinger Core
  4. Baseus D05

Which one is the better choice, considering they cost about the same?

 

Edit: raised my budget to $100(10.000ALL)

 

Where i plan to buy from: https://gjirafa50.al

personally i'm not impressed with the cloud series from hyperx (mostly because of the battery time on my wireless ones and the software that does next to nothing) however i am not familiar with the others

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Stretch your budget and get the MH751 or takstar pro 82. Basically same headphone but the other one's got a mic attached and no bass sliders. Also the pads on the "gaming" ones are better.

PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio.

Unfortunately, they're not available in my country, that's why I selected these ones. Thanks anyway.

I feel like i should have better stated my requirements. The headphones I listed are the only decent ones i could find in my country and the choices are very limited.

 

If it's any helpful at all, this is the website I'm planning to buy from:

https://gjirafa50.al/aksesore-al/kufje-1/?rel=2

Anything under 6500ALL is within my budget.

 

And yeah i do need a mic.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!

After some research I'm somewhat liking the Cougar Phontum Essential and MSI Immerse GH30 v2. If anyone has any idea on how these two compare I would appreciate it.
