Headphones

[grayblizzard]

Is there a good set of headphones besides turtle beach or corsair carcharias that are cheap but well built?

[Jade]

For what use? Gaming? Music? Skype calls / conferences?

[Verne]

Look up some Superlux headphones like 668b and 681 EVO. If you need a mic, something like Zalman Zm-Mic1 will attach neatly to the headphone cord.

[grayblizzard]

These will be used for Skype gaming music and general windows sounds as I don't have speakers

Do either of you recommend the corsair carcarias

Get separate headphones and a mic mod.

All those pre-built headsets are just a piece of sh*t, u can save a lot and also in terms of your health.

Even Philips shp2500 are very cheap, comfortable and good quality headphones.

I think you mean Razer Carcharias? And absolutely not. If you want "gaming" headset, HyperX Clouds are the only ones worth something.

nah, i wouldnt call them good quality, band can break, cord is crap, drivers cant handle very high volumes despite being very quiet having volume control instead of shp2000`s.

 

for heatset hyperx clouds, but you can also just get Takstar 80 pros and a mic IF cheaper but doubt it

Takstar 2050 are open and comfy

 

for headphones you have to tell if you want closed or open.

 

i suppose for gaming, 681 evo is comfiest(velour pads) and has decent audio quality ( a bit more bass tho), you would also need 14$ sony mic and set it up to sound good, it beats zalman.

 

you can also get JVC harx700, closed and also comfy

 

modmic is a bit expensive but also option.

Open type is better if u wanna hear yourself without audio monitor

[grayblizzard]

I just use trash ear buds right now and I need to have a better audio solution for cheap that isnt a $200 pair of astros

Why people dont post budgets is beyond me. I just dont understand why its so hard to post a number. Anyway, without knowing your budget or what country youre buying from:

 

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/341907-amz-hyperx-cloud-ii-82-gun-metal-only/<-- Hyper X Clouds are very good for the price and thats a good deal on both. Look up youtube overviews and read up on reviews. 

 

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset is good for the price. $25usd

 

And if you want cheap, Rosewill RHM-556 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset. Can be had for $10-$15 depending on sells/coupon codes.

Maaan! Have you been living under a rock? Don't tell me you haven't heard about the HyperX Cloud!!

You had it easy.....

 

In the past, there were similar topics with something like, 'recommend me a headphone, unlimited budget'. When I recommended the 30 grand Orpheus, they threw a fit.....

This isnt the first forums I've been a part of . I just do my best to ignore these types of posts. But I wanted to post those headsets so I figured I would rant a bit too lol . And yeah, recommending 30 grand headphones is spot on. Unlimited budget and all
