Buying new headphones

[Coderood]

Hi there guys,

 

I'm looking for some new headphones with great quality sound. Sadly I'm not a pro in audio solutions so I need some help buying the right one.

My budget is max. €700 (I live in the Netherlands)

 

From what i've heard sennheiser, beyerdynamic or audio-technica are the way to go. Also if i need a soundcard please provide me with one :).

 

Down below are some points to consider. (what ill be using the headphones for)

- Trance / Guitar / Hip Hop / Rap (listen more to bold text)

- Gaming (all kinds of genres)

- Movies / Series

 

Any suggestions boys?!

This. Those 2 who are recommending hyperX cloud needs to obtain some working brain cells.

 

Another option is HE-500 or used LCD-2

Dear god no wtf?

 

Very comfortable

They sound painfully average, even bad for the price-point if they're used as pure headphones

7.1 is a downside

Mic isn't necessary, he said headphones

The OP has a €700 budget, therefore we need to recommend the only cheap headphone with which we have had any experience.

Don't be offensive, these are only gamers without a real sound knowledge at all (maybe because they never hear audiofiles that give them more than the average) and from the gamer side and with a (for gaming decent) Mic and the pricepoint is the HyperX Cloud a good one. 

Concentrate on the topic and answer Coderood who, as he say don't know that much but want to know more. 

 

I would suggest Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO headphones if you don't have any known preferences(more bass or clear sound etc.) yet. Furthermore I would recomend to use/buy a external DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) if you use your Headphones on your PC. 

But seriously I'm no expert in this topic only a semicore User of better Headphones than the great mass, for more Info in detail someone else should inform you about the matter.

Why post if you don't know much? Which show's in your post, why in the world would I buy a DAC to go along with a DT 880 in the first place?

People recommending the Clouds cloud have made the topic about that. I'm just responding to their posts in the best interests of the OP

 

The Clouds may be the best value in headsets ever, that this ignores the fact that the OP is willing to spend more for better. Let's concentrate on that topic, shall we?

AT M50X BEST HEADPHONE EVURRRRRRR....... Just kidding, don't even look at this flaming pile of shit, I just needed to add it to the thread before someone mentioned it.

 

On to REAL suggestions, the aforementioned HE-560 is a fantastic choice for your preferences and I'd like to also add the Audeze LCD-2 into the mix.if it happens to fit in the budget for your currency.

The hifiman HE-560 is amazing as F I loaned them from a good friend with a dac and amp for a week and man they where good if I was willing to put that much money into a pair of headphones I would get the HE-560. But for now I will just keep using my k612 pro.
