Holiday time, parents are asking me what I want and I know I need a new headset Budget: ~$200 eBay: Nothing used/opened Country: Canada Isolation: Open Purpose: 40%music, 45% gaming, 10% teamspeak, 5% movies Music Tastes: Dubstep, dnb, techno, house, hardstyle, just electronic pretty much I really wanted the HD598s, they're beautiful, and I found them really cheap.. but they wouldn't ship to canada so shipping is first priority. thanks!

Might I suggest the XB-700s? They fit well with that style of music.
He wants open. I suggest 595s if you wanted 598s and can't afford them.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;33457789]He wants open. I suggest 595s if you wanted 598s and can't afford them.[/QUOTE] Oh, didnt see that. 595s will be your best bet.
I didn't think 595's had good bass.
£35-50 headphones (overear or in-ear, doesn't matter), closed, going to be used for music (Dnb, dubstep, electro, bit of rock/accoustic) and some gaming?
Arrantly the HTF600's are supposed to be the best in that range. [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-RP-HTF600E-S-High-HiFi-Headphone/dp/B002R5ABPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322405466&sr=8-1[/url]
I'm looking for in-ear headphones for listening to music in crowded but silent places Budget: about $100 eBay: No Country: The Netherlands Isolation: Closed Purpose: Music only Music Tastes: Diverse, rock, metal but also hip-hop Previous Experiences: My previous earphones were Sennheiser CX-550, they're pretty nice but I'm looking for something more expensive Comments: [editline]27th November 2011[/editline] Btw, are there any brands that I should stay away from? I know that Skullcandy is pretty bad, anything else?

Alright guys, thanks for the suggestions! If I can find somewhere with 595s or 598s cheap enough I'll jump on them, but right now I am staring at 558s for only $136, and then I can get it discounted further, but I am not sure how much. If it is from futureshop.ca, I can get a good discount. Are 558s good for gaming though? I know they're good for music. And what do you guys think of [URL="http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/akg-akg-headband-headphones-k172hd-k172hd/10178717.aspx?path=28f1bc42713b588d272e4bf569556d04en02"]AKG headphones[/URL]?

[B]Country:[/B] Denmark. [B]Isolation:[/B] Closed. [B]Type:[/B] Over-the-ear (I hate on-the-ear with a passion) [B]Purpose:[/B] Mostly music, then games and a little bit of VOIP and movies. M[B]usic Tastes:[/B] Practically everything from Rock to Dubstep. [B]Previous Experiences:[/B] A somewhat decent Empire headset, problem is that the cable was incredibly fragile and broke, otherwise it was decent for the price. And a overpriced "surround sound" Sharkoon headset, it was junk. [B]Comments:[/B] Would like the headset (IF ONE) to have a decent microphone. If not a headset but headphones, then budget includes a nice mic that doesn't sound like utter shit. Not demanding voice acting quality though. I'd like it to be able to deliver a nice & deep bass-line, hence the mention of Dubstep And for the love of god, [B]NO[/B] USB based headset, or headphones + microphone combo's, since I'd like to be able to use it with my phone too, even if that means I'd have to buy a transportable amplifier later on to go with it. [B]EDIT:[/B] It's ok the Mic is connected via USB, but it [B]MUST[/B] be a clip-on I think that's that.
So I am going to get some Audio Technica M50's for christmas and it said in the OP that an amp was essential, I know little about the amps so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on what type? Make? etc My price range is about £30 to £50 in the UK.

I never got my recommendation from page 43
Anything good here?

I just broke my headphones and would like some new ones. I'm willing to spend up to about £50 on them, I listen to a lot of voice, like let's plays and shit, I also listen to rock, well, basically this shit: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDtACzKGRs[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3lndvRhS_M[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7F2X3rSSCU[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIYOlEJ6lRo[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb05dsRJyWk&feature=related[/url] That sort of stuff. I don't need a microphone of course. Durability is cool too. In the UK please. (Saw these here, what about them?

The Panasonic ones are apparently closed, though not that much from what I hear.

So... What's FP's opinion on Turtle Beach headsets? I know they're kinda gimmicky and sounds retarded. But i just got one as a gift. I'd like to know what you guys opinion are on them.
