I might do that and what Hyperx Cloud 1 or 2 the one is 80 and two is 100 the  Gemini HSR-1000 is 54 and the Takstar Pro80 are 78

 

Oh, you're not in Canada? Why did I think you were?  :rolleyes:

 

If you want to save as much money as possible, grab the Gemini. The Clouds come with more accessories and maybe better quality control, but are essentially the same headphone otherwise.

 

1 vs 2 - 1 has a cable extension with volume controller, 2 has a USB dongle with virtual surround sound. I'd say 1 is the one to get since it's cheapest.

I would suggest you stretch your budget a little bit and get the HyperX Cloud. Even if you don't need the mic, it is based off a good headphone design. The Takstar Pro80 and Gemini HSR-1000 are more expensive in Canada than any version of the Cloud.

It's factual that they are no better.

They are different.

But not very different at all.

So to some they are better, to some they are worse.

But there should be no price premium.

 

The 558 and the 598 use identical drivers and nearly identical enclosures. Remove a piece of foam and the 558 sounds even more like the 598. You're paying extra for a piece of foam to not be there.

 

But please, keep trying to tell me that you have a point.

Again I think they sound better.. If you dont, good for you.. I do have a point.. They don't sound identical .  You both are crying cause there more expensive. So what ? Get over yourselves. :rolleyes:

Yes.

Although I can not say anything based on my listening experience in a store.

Either way, they are only marginally different, and should not cost more. They can exist, but they should be the same price

I think i'll go with the hyperx cloud 1 because the mic could be useful
