$100,- headset/headphone

[k0enf0rNL]

hello,

 

i need a good headset/headphone because my earbuds broke yesterday and my headset was already damaged, my right earcup is hanging loose. i've been looking at the ATH-M50 but they are to expansive.

 

i want to use them on my phone and on my laptop. so the wire need to have a length of around 1,5 meter.

 

thanks in advance,

If you're in Canada, check out these:

It's basically a steal at that price, they're usually $200-$300.

SE-A1000 and T400's are solid options for gaming. Shure SRH240's are out there too.

pioneer has a 6 meter wire way to long for portable use.

they barely fit around my ears (ye i know i got big ears)

the superlux are a bit large.

Portable, I see....HD205ii? Get your braid on and tie up the extra cable.

i dont think you get a high quality sound out of €40,-

I think you're thinking wrong, because the sweet spot for sub 100 is $50-$75ish.

With that being said, MDR V6 is a strong contender for "Best $100 headphone"

I don't know what country you're in or where you can order from, but V-Moda Crossfade LP can usually be bought for around a 100.

The headphones are plenty comfortable, but they are semi-open, which means you'll hear your lovely train ride quite well.

Coil > Straight cable, since the straight cable is a pain to manage.

nope. 

Coiled is a solid option though, just throw you phone in your back pocket, and the cable in your front. Or let the cable dangle like a rubber g-chain.

(Edit, Is the coiled version more expensive?)

linus did a review about them and thought they were good....

I would trust Linus's audio advice about as far as I could throw the man, while that may or may not be 2 meters. With that said, they are good, for a gaming headset, still gets shat on by real headphones.

How much does a MDR V6 go for? 

M35's are an option, so are HD439's if you can find them for your price.
