New Headphones!

[CreedTT]

Hi I'm looking for a new set of headphones 

Currently I have the Hyper x Cloud headset 

 

However I got a new mic and would like to get a new pair of headphones dedicated to better sound quality,

 

I'd like something which is good for gaming, listening to music as well as creating and editing content,

 

My budget it between £100 - £200 

 

I'm thinking of getting this one right now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0016MNAAI?tag=rtings-u-hp-21&ie=UTF8&th=1

 

Please let me know if you have any better suggestions, Thank you!

I'd recommend the Tygr 300R if you're up for open-back headphones instead.

The DT770 is excellent as well if you're leaning more towards the Beyerdynamic route. Make sure to get a Low OHM set unless you're planning on getting an amplifier for them.

I'll echo everyone else and recommend the Beyerdynamic DT 770 as well. Specifically the 80 Ohm version.

 

It's low enough resistance to get plenty loud. Will still benefit if you decide to get a DAC/amp down some time in the future. Long cable that I personally find useful, but a lot of people may disagree. Excellent durability as long as you don't do something reckless and destroy it at its hinges. Earpads are luxurious- especially for my absolutely massive head- and easily user replaceable.

 

The sound is nice and bassy while still remaining balanced. This isn't crappy bass like the ATH-M50 or Beats.

It has a large soundstage which will be beneficial for gaming and discerning instruments in a song.

It's closed back so there will be no sound leakage around other people - and conversely it will isolate you from loud surroundings.

 

It's the perfect headphone.
