Hey people,
So yeah the title says a lot but i'm looking for a verry good headphone
without a microphone because i use a verry good desk mic.
Wish has very very good sound like 5.1/7.1/surround and is pretty comfortable
Its for a PC intensive gaming and lozza music,and i would love to have it over-ear,i hate in/on ear headphones/ear buds
the price range is around maximum €200

some people advised me to get the sennheiser HD 558...

Since i'm a pretty noob on this topic i hope you guys can help me
thanks
 
Solution
the audio-technica ATH-M50s are a great set of cans that fall within your range, and don't have an attached mic. they're closed acoustics so the sound isolation is good. the 558s are amazing though and I'd highly doubt you'd be disappointed with them :)

good luck!
You might find this helpful (from Head-fi.org). It's a small headphone buying guide. By no means an end-all list.

You should choose very carefully whether or not you want closed or open backed headphones. Closed isolate noise better, but it's kind of like plugging your ears: You hear yourself a lot when walking, talking, eating, etc.


As for me, i have a pair of Shure SRH840s, which i'm quite happy with (despite their slightly dark sound).
 
Thanks so far but its just for home use connected to a pc since the pc is in the living room i probobly want closed and i rather have over ear instead of on ear its mainly for gaming use and listing to tuns of music so yeah...

I want myself fully isolated of the world sorta say ^^
