Looking for a nice headset

satindemon4u · Aug 31, 2011

So, I am sick of my skull candies. Well actually in all honesty, they are broken. Talked with a couple friends, and the same happened to theirs. So now I am on the hunt for a nice sounding pair of headphones (OVER EAR) that cost less than $100. $50 or so would be awesome!

So far I have found these and found nothing but good reviews on them. Tell me what you guys think, and maybe could offer...

^^^^RAZER ORCA'S^^^^^ (if you don't feel like visiting the link)

Thanks!

EDIT: No mic needed

AhokZYashA · Aug 31, 2011

do you need the mic?
if yes, use the AD700 and zalman clip mic.

if you dont need mic, also AD700

Fourstaff · Aug 31, 2011

Steelseries Siberia V2 or Sennheiser PC350/PC360, but AD700 still wins.

satindemon4u · Aug 31, 2011

Do NOT need a mic, btw.

erocker · Aug 31, 2011

Steelseries 4h's can be had for about $45 bucks. Very good sound for the price.

Go with the Psyko 5.1 surround head set. That way everyone else in a 20ft radius can hear what you're doing just as loud and clear as you.

Seriously though, go with the Orcas; they are sexy! I want to get them.

What AhokZYashA said -can't go wrong with an ATH-AD700. An AD500 is about as good if you can find it a lot cheaper.

Like I said, don't need a mic lol. Sent my skull candies in finally. I think I may just go with the Razers. Not sure yet though.

AD700 it is then.

Possibly!

AhokZYashA · Sep 3, 2011

yep, for gaming without mic, AD700 is one of the best option.

nice, spacious soundstage, accurate positioning, and not to mention, very" comfortable

manofthem · Sep 3, 2011

Is the Corsair Gaming Audio Series HS1A 3.5mm any good? They're on sale at Newegg for $50 with a promo code, $40 after MiR.

AhokZYashA · Sep 3, 2011

i dont think it can beat the sound quality, and comfort level of the AD700,

Cold Storm · Sep 3, 2011

Yep, another AD700 lover here. I enjoy mine a lot!

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 3, 2011

Do you have a preference between open and closed air designs? Loud environment? I always go open air if the environment is quite, better quality IMO.

satindemon4u · Sep 4, 2011

May go with the AD700's. I found a pair on a website for 69.99. They are new but factory reconditioned, approved, and with full warranty. Should I scoop them up? Link below.

I don't see why not to get it threw them.. if it has full warr then it's still good with AT..
