Looking for some headphones. The left speaker of my 2 year old Siberia V2's died and I get no sound.

 

Trying to get headphones but no idea what to get.

 

I'm looking for something with good sound quality, has a mic, and comfortable for sleeping in (not required)

 

Budget would be a max 150$

The mainstream headphone market would suggest Logitech G930's or Corsair Vengeance. I'd suggest ATH-m50's with a modmic, or ATH-AD700's with a modmic.

No explanation?

 

Just "THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD GET"?

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
