Any feedback is welcomed!

Yeah, usually everyone's all like, "omg the M40X's are so overrated"

I like them though, quite a durable set of headphones for the price.

[Hackentosher]

I suggest AKG q701 avec a mod mic or a blue snowball

 

701's http://www.amazon.com/AKG-Signature-Reference-Class-Premium-Headphones/dp/B004444O3W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458780001&sr=8-2&keywords=k702

The amp you'll probably need http://schiit.com/products/magni-2

Please, refer to the pinned recommendation thread at the top of this sub-forum. There are plenty of solid choices.

 

If you are serious about getting into YouTube, you will want something better than a headset microphone.

I just got mine in the mail today and I think they sound good (super bassy though) however the earcups feel like shit.

I also have these and they are the best I have ever used. They are close the 598's with a high-quality mic attached. (the mic also mutes when you flip it up.)

Plus you can mod them for more bass.

My friend has the m50x and yes they are waaaaaay overhyped. I don't get it.

Ha lol you are the 2nd person whos ever done that

[MrStealYourOverpricedGPU]

i have also heard good things about beyerdynamic 

[maremp]

Are you looking for headphones or headsets (headphones + mic)? 

You'll get much better sound quality if you look for just headphones and buy modmic or other external mic solution.

Personally I'm using Sennheiser Momentum and adding modmic would go over the budget, but I really love them. If you prefer open headphones, HD598 is a great choice and adding a modmic will get you to around $200. It's a lot similar to gaming zero, but I'd say modmic will have better quality.

I think that the SENNHEISERHD 598 SPECIAL EDITION is a very good headphone. I might buy it soon. Any feedback? Are they good?

[rtpb5642]

Very good, similar to the HD600 and i have them

[StevenSensei]

Yes, they are a good headset if you like the Sennheiser sound. I didn't care for the build quality or the sound when compared to some more expensive models, but at the price they are quite nice. The best way for you to know if they are right for you is to go to the store and actually listen to them. The SE model is just a different color than the regular HD598s.

Get the hd558 instead. Basically the same as 598, but cheaper.

If a pair of headphones has a mic on it/in it it's not a headphone its a headset. Just to make this clear.

I would recommend the AKG K612/k702 vs audio technica AD900x/1000x and then add a mic to them if you need one.

I have the AD500Xs, they're very open and I've been loving them since I got them. I'd recommend that series of headphones too. Hopefully the cord isn't the same as the 500Xs though.

I think the cable is the same on them all.

HD600. Don't even think about M40x or A50s. If you can stretch your budget get this http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Open-Back-Professional-Headphone/dp/B00004SY4H. Spend the $150 code on an O2 amp and a Modmic.
