Hi guys, I hope you can help me figure out what to buy, or at least point me in the right direction. I want to buy headphones, which I'll be using mainly for gaming, but also to listen to music. I'm NOT interested in buying a 'gaming headset', I don't want a mic cause I already have one, and I also prefer to get a decent pair of headphones, I feel the same way as the guy who posted this sometime ago:
What I have right now
Right now I have Beats Studio.... yeah, I know, I fall for this piece of crap. I'm not an expert in sound quality, so I don't find these that bad to be honest, they have a bit of bass which I like (in fact I don't really like A LOT of bass, just a bit suits me fine), but their materials and quality are awful. I like that the over-earpads, they cover my entire ears which is very nice, but its build quality is awful, the earpads are easily torn and the headband is starting to show the foam underneath it after less than a year using them sparingly, to the point that I'm looking for alternatives just because the materials are making them almost useless.
What I'm looking for
- Decent quality pair of headphones (both sound and built quality)
- Mainly for gaming, but also for music.
- Noise Cancelling if possible, I've tried it with the Beats Studio and it's a feature I like.
- A bit of bass, I'm not someone who craves bass at all cost, the amount of bass the Beats Studio has is fine (I've seen some with more, and some with less, but these are fine I think).
- Wireless/Wired... I'm open to both, if wired a detachable 3.5 mm cord would be nice (would give me the chance to at least salvage the 3.5 mm wires from the headphones I'm using now).
What I'm not looking for
- As I said, I don't want 'gaming headsets'.
- I don't care about mics in them (in fact I prefer not to have them)
- I don't care about flashy RGB LED lights
- I don't care about extra buttons for gaming (just a volume up/down button or wheel is fine).
My buget?
Up to $200-$250 I think. With that amount I hope to get something decent at least.
Going with a pair of quality studio headphones would be a much better choice compared to buying a "gaming" branded headset which likely has mediocre sound and build quality for the money.
