Headset/Headphones

[Sorfex0]

I need new headset/headphones. Already have good mic so it doesnt really matter. Thinking about getting siberia v2 from ebay for like 30$ is that a good choise? Is there any alternatives? I only can buy from ebay so yeh.

Do yourself a favor and look at better options like the HyperX Cloud for a cheap headset if you want mic "attached". If you are ok with using a separate mic, check out Superlux hd668b, Creative Aurvana Live!, and if you want to go a little further, NVX XPT100.

Superlux looks nice. I liked siberia v2 because they are comfy and autoadjustable. I dont really like superlux hd668b but 681 and 681 evo looks awesome.

Get one of the Superlux or the Samson SR850 (available locally if you have a Sam Ash nearby).  If sound quality it your main concern nothing else comes close.  Open back headphone are just going to sound better at this price range.  It's a physics things.

Eh, for the current cost of the Superlux though I'd really push the Creative Aurvana Live! or Gemini HSR-1000, 2 of which dominate the $50 segment. I didn't realize the HD668B went up in price from the $30~ they were. As such, I take back that recommendation as I feel that the Gemini (Takstar clone) and CAL! offer more.

I realize I was making a very broad stroke statement.  There are a lot of important factors in choosing a headphone.  Comfort is right up there.  Sound isolation could be something to consider.  I have the HyperX Clouds (identical to Gemini HSR-1000) and they sound great.  They handle certain types of bass heavy music better than my Samson 850s, and if I'm watching a movie with a lot of explosions they HyperX might be more 'fun'.  But in general (especially gaming where positional accuracy is important) my 850s sound better.

 

The Gemini HSR-1000 is a superior in comfort (although my ears do heat up in summer), build quality, sound isolation, and looks.  Handles some music better.  At 50 ohms could be difficult to drive with onboard sound or mobile devices (so is the 668b, the 661 and 850 or 32 ohms and easier to drive).  It's not a purchase someone is likely to regret.

Monoprice 8323 is getting positive feedback. Give that a shot.

It's a good headphone, if a bit uncomfortable for some.
