Budget Starter Headphones for music/gaming help

[kimd44]

Because I live in south korea a brand such as sennheiser, audio technica, logitech would be prefered. Because prices fluctuate in korea, my budget is around 80 dollars. 1. I have some big ears and heads. 2. Im using this at my desk. No need for portability. This would be my first headphone. Im willing to experiment with open or closed. Thanks.

Also I wanted a pro80 but heard their not the best for big ears.

Try to find a Superlux hd668b, hd681,hd681evo. Personally I believe they are one of the best budgrt/starting headphones ever. They shouldn't cost more than $35,but that's here in the states.

Ah yes. Ive heard their highs are harsh tho.

Another question. Is buying from ebay safe? The takstars only cost about 60-70 on ebay. Are they factory new condition or used?

The takstars are quite appealing. Can you vouch for them / used them before?

Depends on the vendor and item specifics.

Is buying from eBay safe? Yes, eBay protects buyers. As for the condition, it depends entirely on you. You need to check the pictures, read the descriptions, message the vendors.

Just want to add:
Make sure you check the seller rating

Buy the takstar Hi2050 that come with the box, it always has a sticker on the box. scratch the silver area to get the verification code.
Use the code to check the authentic status on takstar site.
