Best Budget headphones for gaming, editing and music?

Gershy13

Thought i'd post this here because this community seems to know quite a bit about the stuff im wanting to do with my headphones.

 

Does anyone know what the best budget (around £50) headphones are? I'll be using them mainly for gaming (fortnite and CoD), ill also be doing some audio monitoring and video editing on them... Occasionally ill be listening to music on them, and i do like a fair amount of bass in my music (especially in the lower frequencies (60hz and below)).

 

Ive got a Yamaha USB Mixer, so even if they are higher impedance i should be able to drive them... But i also will be using them with my Galaxy S6.

 

I need them to be over ear and not on ear as on ear headphones are really uncomfortable on my head. Bluetooth and noise cancelling would be a nice bonus (i dont expect them at this price tho), but i need them to be able to run on the 3.5mm jack with no latency when gaming.

 

Any ideas?

So far im looking at the Status CB-1s, and Lindy HF-100 (YOGA CD880) although the latter is a fair bit more expensive.

I also do like a bit more bass than completely flat headphones, so im wondering which ones would do well when EQ'd

 

Thanks

The Status Audio CB-1s is an excellent choice. Haven't even heard of the Lindy HF-100 so I can't comment on it.
