Hello ladies and gentlemen,

 

I need help with my audio setup as i just built my new PC rig and the only thing missing is the audio. Cutting straight to the point, I need headphones and not just any headphones. I looked into ATH-M50X and they seem pretty decent and fit my budget which is £100-120 max. To make this easier for you guys i will tell you what i need which is headphones that have really great sound reproduction and that they wont leak a big amount of sound as i do most of my gaming and movie watching at night and i don't want to wake up anyone in the house. I know that wireless headphones are total junk compared to wired ones and this fact is the sole reason why I'm struggling to choose the pair of cans for me as I would benefit hugely from the comfort provided by the wireless headphones, as i would be able to watch movies in my bed without disturbing anyone. I don't know if it's possible to make wired headphones wireless but it would be great if you guys knew something about it and could help me with that issue. Wireless headphones would be great to have for me but i don't really want to sacrifice the sound for the benefit of watching movie in my bed as i do more gaming than movie watching, I looked in to "gaming" headsets and all i could come up with is that they sacrifice the sound for having a mic.

 

So the things im looking for are:

- Headphones that have crisp Highs and Mids and really nice lows (i like bass, but don't want it to be overpowering the Highs and Mids)

- Capability of using them on my phone (the looks mater a bit)

- Low leakage

 

 

*Bonus points*

- Red LED lights on them

- Microphone

- Wireless

these points are only bonuses i could get with the headphones but i don't want you guys to sacrifice the sound for these.

 

Thank you,

 

King regards Dave.

ath-m40x, it's basically the same thing as the m50x, just cheaper.

How's the bass on them? Is it present or is it just like a feather tickling your ears? Do you know if it's possible to make a wired headphone wireless? Do they have a detachable cable like the m50x?
