Hey there guys, I'm a newbie looking for a nice, quality over-ear headset. I'm willing to spend $70~$80 on them. As I'm a newbie, I have no idea what I (or you) am talking about when it comes to drivers and whatnot. Sorry about that.
I currently own a pair of Skullcandy Skullcrushers (and please don't hate, I'm not that educated on headsets and that's the first thing that popped into my mind. I'm 14.), and they broke, so I have the choice of getting a 50% off on a Skullcandy headset (which because of all the lurking on here, I've been severely discouraged to buy) or to look around for something else, which is what I'm doing.
I wear these to school, so they would either have to be really comfortable around my neck or collapsible into a bag. I don't need studio-quality abominations of headsets. I have some Astro A40s which I use for gaming, but which also plug into my computer, and I'm thoroughly happy with those. (And again, if your opinion or facts differ, please don't hate.) I also have glasses, and I think that may be a problem with over-ear, but I'm not sure.
I'd like ones which crank pretty high. Of course, they don't have to be full-blown speakers, but I have a noisy bus ride to school and I also like to listen at semi-high volume. That leads me to another thing, I'd like for it to have not that much sound leak. Noise-cancellation would also be great.
I don't need any amplifiers or anything (unless any of you think that would be necessary), I just want a headset with nice sound quality. I listen to Drum & Bass and Dubstep a lot, and also have my fix of rock and other things, so nice tight bass would be great. Thanks for reading!
TL;DR:
Price: $70~$80
Faithful sound quality, nice tight bass, some noise cancellation
Comfy around neck or collapsible into storage
Over-ear
Thanks!
