good $100 headphones

[lilwic]

Hey i'm looking for a good set of $100 headphones, right now i'm looking at Hyper X Cloud 2, but if you have any suggestions please give them to me and ill take a look. I only have a couple things id like them to have. Also to compare, I currently have TurtleBeach X12.

 

============

-Have a good Mic

 

-Comfortable

 

-have compatibility with mobile devices

 

And this last one isn't a requirement but its personal preference, id like them to be Red and black as that matches my color scheme.

Skullcandy SLYR. I had a pair and they were amazing

HyperX 2, absolutely love them, are red and black, have a good enough mic, and are very comfortable. And yes, they are compatible with mobile devices.

No thanks, no one in the audio space praises anything from SkullCandy.

I'm not a fan of the HyperX cans as you pay extra for a cheap mic and flaky USB inline sound card.

 

You could build them:

  $45 Gemini DJ HSR-1000 (closed) or $47 Takstar HI 2050 (open)

  $30 VModa / $43 Mod Mic

  =$75-91

 

Or you can up the sound quality...

 

Open Air - Better sound stage to locate enemies in games

$65 Philips SHP9500 and a VModa/Mod Mic $30 (The Philips will likely be the most comfortable headphones you'll ever try, with or without glasses)

 

Closed - more priority for bass

$99 ATH-M40x and a VModa/Mod Mic $30

 

List of the more talked about mainstream choices here.

Ok, however the modmic connects through a 3.5 mm jack, and dont the headsets only have one 3.5 mm jack on them (sorry i'm tired right now so i'm not thinking straight if i'm wrong)

I usually don't but the SLYR is great.

 

It has a nice almost studio reference sound to them (Work in a radio station) and the mic is really great.

 

They look good and they are 3.5mm compatible
