What to buy

Go to solution Solved by Patrick Bateman,

Well like I said "I don't really have a budget but I want a reasonable price, I don't want it to cost 200$ and then see one that cost 100$ and the difference is just 20percent "

ok i get you..

sennheiser hd 558?

there are lots of options.. it really depends on what you like in sound signature

Mic: Audio Technica AT2020

Headphones: Try something like a HyperX Cloud 2 or Steelseries Siberia V2. I would recommend Sennheiser, but I'm not so familiar with their lineups.

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

Oh I thought it's some kind of feature like the noise cancelling and by the way does it have noise cancelling I sit in noisy places

you should be looking at a closed back pair of headphones.. the hd 558 are not closed back and you can probably hear the noise in the enviroment your in..

but the problem is open back headphones (where you can hear noise in the enviroment) generally have wider soundstage which is better for gaming...
