Budget Headphones

[big_dane]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy some headphones in the 50-60 Euro range. Right now I'm looking at the Beyerdynamic DTX350p and the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x. I can probably stretch my budget to 70 Euros and get the ATH-M30x if they are worth it. I am going to be using the headphones for travelling and maybe playing games from time to time. I listen mainly to EDM, rap and heavy metal. (yeah I know I'm musically crippled)

If you need to communicate with other people (CS:GO, LoL, etc.) you should spend a bit extra on the HyperX Clouds. Most comfortable headphones I have used.

M20X is the same as M30X tbh

 

Just get M20X and drop in a mic

If you're going to be using them while travelling, avoid the open-backed headsets. Even if they have a much wider soundstage, they'll leak sound like nothing else and all your trips will end with other passengers sinking their knuckles into your forehead, especially if you truly are musically crippled.

Even so, you'll want something with a neutral response that doesn't exaggerate your music with stupidly skewed frequency curves. I'd recommend a pair of Sennheiser HD 202s, or the Audio Technica M20x- which you're already considering.

If you want a headset as opposed to headphones, I guess you'll need something with a mic. I'm afraid I can't help you there, though.

HyperX clouds or Logitech G203s. Most comfortable headphones.

No need for a mic. Don't play games using teamspeak.
