Headphones for music/gaming

[Tanoteris]

Hello, I searched this forum to find answer to my question, but couldn't find good one.. Maybe someone could suggest me what headphones should I buy for about 50 dollars? I have mic on my table so I don't need headset except if they would be better than simple headphones. I prefer over-ear headphones. Headphones will be used for music and gaming.

Thinking to buy razer electra or razer kraken, but there is some people who said it's not worth it.

Looking at HD 429, is it worth the price or not?

And I would like headphones with minimum isolation so sound from headphones doesn't go outside alot and not annoy people near me.

yeah its worth the price. its a closed type headphones so ppl wont get annoyed.
if the price different not too big, get the 439. otherwise 429 is good also.

I had a listen to the full 4x series and ended up buying the 439 , imo they are like this 439>449>429>419 the 449 sounds like the 439 with less bass, the 429 was good but not as comfy as the 439 and had harsher high end. 419 sounded bad, far too much thunky bass.

Hi what do you think of HD 380 PRO http/www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-380-Pro-Collapsible-Professional/dp/B001UE6I0G?
Should I go with that or the HD 439? I usually listen to RnB and Hip Hop FLAC's not MP3's. And watch some movies. Thanks

380 pro quote
Almost linear reproduction ,very good controlled bass, clear mids, decent highs
Sound blocking: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
sound very natural have nice clear sound
good base not havy there is more high bass (but not solid bass)
have airy sound for a closed headphones (because of the size of the ear-cops)
high treble low mids.

HD 380 pro is good also but if i have to choose between the two, i go with 439.

Can you gimme more reason why you'd choose 439 over 380 pro? Thanks a lot. I heard some build quality issues with the 439, is it true?
