Hey guys, I want a better pair of headphones than X12's from Turtle Beach. I want these for PC Gaming and good audio playback for video editing and stuff because I do Minecraft videos for youtube. But heres the catch: I only have around $20 USD for this I can go up to 30 but I would prefer not to. Thank you for your suggestions!

Philips SHL3100... I have them, positional audio is not that great but that depends more on the software... If the eq is tweaked correctly they can sound close to an ATH-M50...

Yes, I can not stand on-ears they hurt my ears. and I feel like in ears wouldn't be as good for recording.

Sennheiser HD201 are $25 on Amazon right now. 

 

Monoprice makes some decent headphones for ~$20-30

If you're willing to spend around 40USD (that's how much they sell at my country), Superlux HD330 (open back) or Superlux HD660 (closed back)... These are professional headphones for cheap...

 

Too bad Amazon bumped up the price sixfold...

NuForce NE-600X are a great basshead option. in-ears

 

Panasonic RPHT360 should be decent from what I've heard about it. I know you said you didn't like on-ear designs, but the Philips Cityscape Metro basically has pillows for cushions.
