Sup im looking for some new headphones for my PC that are no more than about $170 if possible. Ive been lokoing around and reading reviews but I would also like some ideas from here before I make a choice. Wired or wireless. The only thing is I dont want ones that are going to make my ears hot if possible..

Damo is right.

This thread ends here.

i take it id need some kind of amp for those ATH-AD700's?

$8 Ritmo Headset from MSY.

No amp is needed for the ATH700.

The only downside to the ATH700 and it's a small one at that, is that the bass is lacking a bit. It's a headphone made for clarity and not for doof doofing like sennhesier which have a big bass to them.

If you're more about clarity then big bass then proceed with a purchase that you'll never regret.

Recommend the ATH700. ive had the ATH900 for over 4 years and love them!!! still look brand new and use them every day!

How go those urbanears Viper?

They at least look well thought out (in-line mic/volume and 'zoundport' are great additions to any headset!)
$105 from their website isn't as appealing, and those 'closed over-ear' speakers don't look massively comfy... how do these go for comfort when wearing for longer than an hour?

Might be worth pointing out that I am extremely happy with my HD448s.

my HD555 still hold up well after about ~5 years. one ear is being held (quite well i might say) together by a combination of superglue and tape but zero problems with sound.i wouldn't say it's badly built but more of a "forget i had headphones on when walking away" or "getting caught under the chair damage"

Headphones more than likely

Headset kind of iffy.

A lot of 'gaming headsets' tend to only do up to 20 khz but there is a Turtle Beach Headset that does higher. Whether this would make a difference I'm not sure.

As for USB Headset, only get it -- if you absolutely have to. The general thing is that Sound Card > Headphones is the better part of things.

- Headset that I saw reviewed on some benchmark feature website was this one.

I went with the ADH700's. arrived today and all I can say is fuck yeah.

First song I listened to (which is not on yt?) is some unreleased live version of this and is similar:

i reckon Dr Dre knows beats

But isn't a sound engineer. His doctorate is in rhymeology. ;)

audio technica ad900s ftw.
