Hey. My name is Demise and I have made an account for the sole purpose of acquiring basic info on some good headphones. Now I know that there are other places with masses of information, however, I lack the motivation and patience required to skim through huge databases of information on a topic I know quite literally nothing about. Sorry if that angers you, as I'm positive there are noobs asking the same questions every damn day.
Taking that into account, I hope any of you nice enough to help me out will appreciate the care I've put into this thread to make it as easy as possible for you to help me out.
I'm a gamer, first off. Before today I was under the impression that 'gaming' headsets were the same or at least functioned and performed on a similar level to regular headphones, considering the prices. I'm now under the impression that this is not the case.
My noob question is as follows:
I am a computer gamer, looking for a pair of quality headphones for games and music, played mainly from my PC.
My most listened to music genres are: Pop, Korean Pop, Electro, Electro-swing, Progressive Trance, Hip-Hop/Rap, Dubstep, and Jazz.
My Price Range: $125-175
My preference in headphones: over-ear headphones
I HATE long wires, braided cords are nice.
Aesthetically pleasing is a plus, but not necessary.
Maximum comfort is a must.
The only headset i've had experience with is the Trittons, which is a ****ty gaming headset.
I like durable materials as well.
Mainly focused on best sound quality and comfort
If it makes a difference, i have a Realtek HD sound card in my PC, where all my music will be played from. I also like noise cancelling.
I hope I've given enough information to get some easy responses, the more choices the better. Thank you everyone who has read this far.
TL;DR: I am a headphone noob, and am looking to convert from a bad 'gaming' headset to a real quality pair of headphones. Any basic information i can use to simplify my search method, or recommendations, are greatly appreciated. See above for my specifications/preferences. Apologies for asking such a generic question, but I've provided as much information as i could to narrow down recommendations.
