Hi,
at the moment I do use my Sennheiser Headset 161 app. 10hrs a day. So far I'm pretty happy with it, but as my wife is in the same room and as she watches tv (low/medium volume) I noticed that the tv sound is a little bit annoying. I like the sound of the 161 - my 2.1 speaker system sounds like crap compared to them.
Well, now I'd like to buy some good headphones and did some research. It looks like I should get 'closed' ones to eliminate the sidetones (tv).
I found the Ultrasone PROLine 750, closed headphones, and read good things about them.
But there are still half-closed (or half-open?) ones. As well as other closed ones.
I'd like to get some helpful tipps about getting the "right ones" for me.
What is important for me:
1. wearing comfort (8hrs a day),
2. sound (music [ambiance, electronic, rock] as well as games),
3. eliminating sidetones as good as possible,
4. Price: max $400 (260€)
The headphones will be connected to my creative X-Fi
(I know the Sennheiser 161 is a headset and I'm going to buy a mike seperately.)
Thanks in advance,
Matt
