The last thread i made became a bit of a mess since i decided halfways not to buy surround headphones afterall, so i decided to make this poll

Out of that list, the only ones that have a good reputation around here are the 280 Pro and the K 27 i (which is a newcomer, so not many people have experience with it). Another good gaming 'phone in that price range is the Audio-Technica ATH-A500 (A500 for short), which can be ordered from www.audiocubes.com.

Audio Technica A500 - non of your choices above will perform as well as these.

 

[Mercuttio]

Can I write in DT770 on the ballot?

 

[skudmunky]

Dt770 is a bit above the costs of all the ones he mentioned, and would need an amp to sound decent.

 

[jagorev]

I'm going to write in for Audio Technica A500 and Sennheiser HD555.

 

[burk]

AudioTechnica can only be bought in USA and i live in Norway, and i want the headphones by next friday... It is an option... I wonder how long it takes to ship things from audiocubes (no norway is not the capitol of sweden)

HD555 are not closed...

 

[ilovesocks]

Audiocubes ships worldwide for excellent prices.

Well, a $50 jump from the 280 is worth it, if he can. Also, the 770-80 does not need an amp to be an excellent gaming can.

Had to go with the k27i. Love my k26p. They are a little fragile, keep that in mind if they are going to see abuse.

 

[burk]

Im not upping the money... I listen to music with oem earplugs and think it sounds fine, you enthusiasts probably think it sounds crap

So i dont want the best headphones i can get, just some usable for a reasonable price

Umm no. They can only be bought in japan, but audiocubes imports them and ships worldwide. Another vote for the A500.

 

[)v(ajin_R_]

definitely A500

Wrong website

And I'll just recapitulate that audiocubes.com and bluetin.com ship all over the world.

Why do you need closed? Will you be in a noisy environment?

I would suggest looking at the Sennheiser HD 485 too. It's a good gaming headphone for somewhat cheaper, but is also open. With cheaper headphones, open is usually better.

But out of the ones you posted, I'd have to pick the Koss Pro-4aat or 4aa. I've used it, and it sounds quite good.

None of the cans in your poll are considered "gaming 'phones" ...
