aymanhaq :
I am looking for a circumaural headset with decent sound quality and passive noise isolation for gaming. My price range is about $30, hence the reason for passive noise isolation. Comfort is also a priority. I am completely unfamiliar with the headphone/headset market. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
I think your budget is a little too low to get any decent headset... Some of the really good isolation phones that are also super comfortable (even if you wear glasses) include the Audio Technica ATH-M50. On a good sale, they can be had for a bout 100 bucks. Those are made to be worn for long periods of times and also in live monitoring situations (DJ, mixing, studio), so they block a lot of external noise.
However, unfortunately I am not aware of a "decent" set for 30 dollars. Perhaps the in-ears types of phones can be had at this price.
