Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for some suggestions on comfortable headphones or gaming headsets with decent audio quality.  I'm willing to pay between 100 and 300 bucks.

 

 

Thanks

I know the overhyped answer is HyperX Clouds, but I say HyperX Clouds. They are "clouds" for a reason. I love the earpads, which they are ALMOST as soft as QC15 ear pads. I wish they would sell just the ear pads so I can get a pair for my ATH-M50s, as they feel better than Shure 840 pads, and are a better fit. :P

I have HD 558's they are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used. They sound great too.

 

I think Sennheiser HD 5*8's are the most comfortable as well.

MXM 300 or any Beyerdynamics. the velour pads ahhhhh

Fully agree on the Beyers, can't really go wrong with them and if one fits, pretty much all fit since they are all almost the same in comfort.

For on-ears, Grados are very nice and have a real good audio too (and I only have the SR80e), from my couple of weeks on them. I wasn't sure of the pads, but the things are so light you hardly notice them.

I really like the look for the beyerdynamics, but there are so many choices! I like to listen to edm, as well as game and watch movies. Which model will help me get the most out of those media?

May I recomend you to the Custom One Pro's there simple and have a bass adjustment. also a closed-back design. price  180/190

But personally I like the headphone MXM 300 with a QUALITY mic. 300+ smucking bucks to much i know. 

HyperX Cloud from Kingston is the best for the money rigt now (the frame of the headphone is from beyerdynamic) you can NOT go wrong with these headphones because the pricing is good.

Well, I love the HyperX Cloud, it's really soft and nice, and you get real leather earcups with it, and if you don't like those you get suede ones as well :)

Sony MDR 1R are the best portable headphones imo.
