Looking for new headphones.

So I'd like to get a new pair of headphones. I would like ones that have either have 3D audio or a Large sound stage. They don't have to have a mic but it's a plus if they do.

I'm not looking for a new pair of gaming headphones, otherwise I would get the G933.

What I am looking for is quality products that are in the £150 - £200 price range.

I'm not a audio expert, as soon as i try to help people about it i get yelled at xD. But i have heard great things about the 558's being just as good as the 598's but at a lower price.

 

Hope this helps :P

3D audio is dumb. What you want is what you mentioned secondly, which is a large sound stage.

 

Look through here for open-back headphones: 

 

It was a second if nothing was available in the price range and I was looking more for closed back as they don;t let as much noise in...or so I have heard?

If you want a large sound stage that gives you a better representation of the direction of the sound coming through the drivers, you're going to want open back headphones.

 

But yes, closed back headphones don't let much noise in and won't let much noise out.
