Hey guys, I'm new here. A lot of people have been telling me to ask you guys before buying some headphones, so I'll let the experts tell me what kind of headphones to get.
I'll be using them mainly for listening to black metal, death metal and hardstyle techno, as well as playing Call of Duty. I want to be able to hear every footstep, etc. I would also like to be able to take them on a walk down the street. I wouldn't take them far, just a block or two.
My budget is somewhat low, however, at a maximum of $200, of course lower would be better.
But what make/model do you guys recommend for such activities? Thanks so much, you guys have a great community here!
Mad Lust Envy did a superb review on gaming headphone. Look out for those with high competitive ratings, especially if you want clarity and accuracy for FPS.
Personally, don't overspend on your first pair of headphone. The Koss KSC75 may look cheap (and is cheap!) can get your ears tuned to better sound. Understand your own hearing needs first, beyond just the applications, and look for appropriate phones that would bring out the best of those needs.
