Posted July 29, 2014 I'm getting about $150 from my Grandma for bringing my Sister to day camp and I'm wondering should I buy some Audiotechnica ATH M50s or work on filling up my steam library with some games? Here's my steam profile so you can check out what games I own. I wanna save the $60 out of the $150 for GTA V if I go the Steam route.

Posted July 29, 2014 I'd say headphones, but not m50s. Those are overpriced. With $150 I'd look into used DT770 or DT990 Beyerdynamics or if you are set on Audiotechnica, go for the m40x instead.

Posted July 29, 2014 I personally would say to get the headphones since they'd be used basically 24/7 until they finally die. While a game is fun until you beat the storyline, run out of stuff to do online/offline, and just lose interest...

Posted July 29, 2014 rhttp://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-504631-HD-558-Headphones/dp/B004FEEY9A# I would opt for the headphones. You can get a good pair of Sennheiser 558's for around that price.

Posted July 29, 2014 I'd wait til the winter/fall sale to buy some steam games, if you think you'll make some more money between now and Spetember/Novemeber I'd go for the Headphones, the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros are my top reccomendation as a starter pair (http://dft.ba/-ascr) if you see them on Massdrop.com for under $150 get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 30, 2014 What's more important to you? If you listen to a lot of music, you should get equipment that reproduces in a way you really enjoy. If you like playing lots of different games and are bored with the ones you have, well, duh.

Posted July 30, 2014 Save 20-50$ and wait on the next sale. Then buy some good cans with the 100$. We all need a daily check-up from the neck up to avoid stinkin' thinkin' which ultimately leads to the hardening of attitudes. - Zig Ziglar The sad fact about atheists is that they stand for nothing while standing against things that have brought much good to the world. Now ain't that sad. - Anonymous Replace fear with faith and fear will disappear. - Billy Cox ......................................Also, Legalism, Education-bred Arrogance and Hubris-based Assumption are BULLSHIT.
