Need Native 1/4 inch Jack

I'm looking for a Headset/Headphones with a NATIVE 1/4 inch (6.5mm) jack. I don't want a 3.5mm jack with an adapter. I plan on buying a high end sound card if I can find a pair like I described. My price range for these is up to $200. If anyone finds anything PLEASE let me know, thanks!

Why don't you want a 1/4 inch adapter? There's no real discernible difference in quality. At your price range I REALLY suggest looking at minijack headphones because they are more apparent and most 1/4 inch adapters are quite decent and won't break. For 200$ I really suggest the V-MODA M-80s (no 1/4 inch adapter) these are some of the best audiophile worthy headphones at this price range. If you want a SLIGHTLY flatter experience I can suggest the Audio-Technica MTH50, these come with a screw on 1/4 inch adapter and are a little cheaper than the M-80s. The jack size doesn't matter all that much except for REALLY high impedance headphones and even then with a proper amp they can run of a 1/8 inch jack no problem.

I'm going to refrain from making comments or suggestions because I am unsure wtf is going on in this thread but I will say this.

the M50's screw on adapter fuses and blends in with the cable so well that you will not know that it was an adapter. COMPLETELY disappears
