Looking for decent closed headphones.

[0s4x]

My budget is around $200-$250 Australian Dollars. They will be NOT be amplified by any external source, just connected to my motherboard/front panel. No brand preferences. Preferably a set that's available through PCCaseGear please.

 

EDIT: as well as being closed, I need them to not leak any sound in. Like at all. I want to be completely shut off from the world when I have these things on.

Get these I considered buying them myself but only 1 day left... I have to think about getting closed headphones.

But for you best that you can get for price.

Corsair Vengeance 1400

Corsair Vengeance 1500v2 (Virtual Dolby 7.1)

Corsair Vengeance 2100 (Virtual Dolby 7.1 + Wireless)

Steelseries 9H (optional Virtual Dolby 7.1, comes with an included USB Sound Card, you can use this headset with pretty much any device)

Audio-Technica ATH-AG1 (a little bit over your budget, at 279.99, but has outstanding sound quality)

Sennheiser HD 598 (great headphones but they're open-air)

 

 

What motherboard do you have?

Looking for headphones, not a headset. No mic, please.

 

I have an msi 990FXA-GD80v2

 

EDIT, the 598's have also been discounted, since they're open. I don't care how good a pair of headphones sound, if they're open I'm not buying them.

Forgot to say, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, if you can find them somewhere else, they're not on PCCaseGear.

Well PCCG availability isn't a prerequisite, just preferred.

If you are bothered to set it up shopping through Amazon.jp and shipping it through Tenso.com. Prices there can be 50% less than what they are in Australia and shipping only takes 5-7 days. Otherwise another Australian store is Headphones.com.au but be prepared to find some pretty high prices compared to other places in the world.

 

Also Massdrop is recommended but their shipping times can take a month or more depending on the size of the drop, got an AKG Q701 coming next week too.

What do we think of the Beyerdynamic DT770?

[BaconComputing]

What do we think of the Beyerdynamic DT770?

Those are better than the COP in a number of ways. I would go with those.

Or the Shure SRH840?

Those are better than the COP in a number of ways. I would go with those.

Can they be sufficiently run off of my motherboard without another amplification in between?

EDIT: looking at the 80ohm version of them.

EDIT2: nevermind about the DT770, They do require external amplification. Thoughts on the Shure SRH840, keeping in mind I want as close to complete isolation as possible?

Audio Technica ATH-M50s.  Perfect seal.

Is there a difference between the M50 n the M50x?

[AnnoyedShelf]

Is there a difference between the M50 n the M50x?

Yes.

[0s4x]

Yes.

I think I've made my decision, going with the M50. The sub $200 price also leaves me a bit of headroom for shipping from PCCG as well, which is usually a little expensive and I didn't think of when I started the thread.

Awesome.  Can you mark my post as solved? Pretty please?

 

EDIT: Beat me to it.

P.S. you should get beyers dt770, shure 840, senn's HD380. they're miles better than ATH M50.

Meh whatever. The way threads go in this sub is becoming farcical.

I like how you just assumed that I'd give you the opportunity.

This thread go lost so fast. It started well with Beyerdynamics but then drove off a cliff with the M50s.

Why be helpful and progressive when you can recommend what you know regardless of use case, price, or legitimacy
