The Topic says it all.
Im going to buy a Headphone for computer use, movies, mp3 and gaming.
If someone got some good tips, just tell me. I would prefer if the price didnt go more than 170$

-Thanks for all replays

A500/A900 is a safe choice.

Tell us what type of music you listen to, where you listen to it, if you have an amp or plkan to buy one, and what your source is.

check out my review of the pioneer se-monitor10r: http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72430

it goes for 1/3 the price if what you're willing to put out and it is good for all your purposes.

my tip for you is just buy a good headphone, be happy with it and get out of here. if you stay here longer you will spend 5 times more than $170.

I second the advice to get out of here as soon as sanely possible. Is there a way to block access to headfi from explorer and netscape? I am seriously considering this option right, as I have just had the unholy thought of selling my car to finance an Omega II system purchase...

The Audio Technica A500 are a good, well rounded choice for about $100, but be aware that they are a bit on the big side. You can get them from Audio Cubes. If you want to get into the bigger league we'll need more info about music types and where you're plugging them in to.

I seconds comandos suggestion, A500/A900 are very good heaphones for the money, they can be driven fine by a soundcard without needing an amp, but an amp could make them shine.

Another good heaphones for gaming and movies are DT770-250 but you will need an amp to power them to have a good performance out of them, so they could go a little out of your budget, still they are the best heaphones for gaming and movies, for music they are decent but the bass is to emphasize for certain music.

Another good option could be Ultrasone HFI-700 DVD edition, they sell for around $190 and you could drive them without an amp.

Good luck with your choice,

i say a500/a900

i cant say the differences between the 2, but if you search the forums, there are posts about differences between the 2. i think if u got the a900's you would be happy with them for a long time, run and never come back. i have the "hrmm, i want to buy these headphones to hear what they sound like."
