Buying new headphones.

[Cyrus]

So i live in Sweden and i want to buy a pair of headphones for music/gaming.

 

I mainly listen to metal and play fps games.

 

I wanted to buy the ATH-M50's before and i made a topic about it but the price went from 100 dollars to 220 dollars with taxes and shipping

Do you guys have any recommendations about what to buy?

 

 

- Budget 160-200$ ish.

What kind of metal?

[Guest GRRigger]

so you wanna ship from amazon.co.uk or something? what about your local shops, online?

[CwGoh]

Do you prefer open or closed headphones? Price range?

[Cyrus]

Yeah local swedish shops or european online shops that ship to sweden...

 

What kind of metal?

 

 

Melodic death metal, alternative death metal

Do you prefer open or closed headphones? Price range?

 

Around 160-200$, i prefer closed headphones but i have no problem with open ones.

Sweden and metal go hand and hand

How do DT 880 80 ohms look?

Would have thought the WS77 - http://www.thomann.de/gb/audio_technica_ath_ws77.htm or K550 - http://www.thomann.de/gb/akg_k550.htm would be right up your street.

Not really good with metal, get kinda flabby and confused. 

 

Audio Technica ath-m50 (: 

No

WS77 is potassium, but the K550 isn't the best built.

Those headphones aren't good for metal.

[TheTechnerd]

Those headphones aren't good for metal.

they aren't, how so?

[MayflowerElectronics]

they aren't, how so?

 

Bass isn't good, and for me personally, I don't like the treble of sennheisers. Again, that's just my opinion.

[Cyrus]

So are there any other good options than the  Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250?

[OddballMV]

250 ohms without an amp probably isn't the best idea.

. Every other option seemed to have some flaw according to others...

Earcup size looks a bit small, not sure how big your ears are (no offence intended)
