And that is a great explanation as to why you say no. You know maybe come up with something more original than that?

 

For several more bucks (or rather can you even buy one now) you can grab HD518 with zalman mic for arguably a better sound experience. HyperX Cloud with audiotechnica M-x0 series just an overly hyped headphones as if it's the best in its class.

 

 

But anyway OP, what's your budget and don't try to say "I don't have any budget".
