Best headphones from 50 to 100$?

[DoctorHedegaard]

Hello i am a newcommer to audio and i need a new pair of headphones. Do you have any suggestions?
I don't own an amp or sound card or anything along those lines. I am not a audiophile, so i if you tell me anything about the mids or lows or highs or whatever i won't understand it. The system that i use is a Asus Aspire laptop if that means anything. In the past i have used a Steelseries Siberia V2, and i was pretty happy with them, but now i am looking for a real pair of headphones and not a overpriced gaming headset. I'm going to buy a Modmic and use that to talk through.

I would prefer if the it was open headphones since i don't like when i'm not able to hear my self. The headphones don't have to be stylish, but it wouldn't hurt if i don't have to look like an idiot. I have allready looked at headphones like the AKG K 240, Superlux HD 681-Evo, Superlux HD668B, AKG K-272, and the AKG K142 HD. The last to is probably the ones that looks the most pleasing to me, but i'm not sure. So yeah... Can you come with any suggestions to what headphones i should get?

Not sure if you watched our video *Shamless Plug* (Not that it really benefits me in anyway) but check this video out -

 

 

My vote goes for the 668B.

But what if i am willing to go a little beyond that price tag. If i pay 50$ dollars more will that not give be a better headset? It probably won't be better in sound but shouldn't 50$ at least make the quality of the build better?

Currently using the Superlux 668b's and I've loved them. My only issue is that I have ears that stick out more than most so they do get uncomfortable after like 4-5 hours since they squish my ears. That and you can easily EQ out the treble and make them sound even better than they already do.

How do the 668B compare to the 681EVO for gaming?  Only the older 681 was mentioned in the video.

 

Also, I have only heard gaming through headsets with Astro A50.  How would these compare to that?

[DoctorHedegaard]

Well i bought the 668B so i hope they're just as good as people say
