Hello Everyone
 
first post and topic on a forum. A bit rude, but randomly posting some stuff i know nothing about is a lot worse... right?

 
Annyway to the topic.
 
I am looking for a good set of all round(gaming,music,video) headphones with a loud bass. I use them at home and on the go. They will be pluged into an internal audio card on a pc and into a phone.
 
At the moment I have a Sennheiser HD418.
Not a bad set of cans.. but they fell of my head while i was on my bike, so they are way too loose.
and the bass is too weak for my taste.
they are surprisingly sturdy tough

 
I have tried out the fatal1ty professional gaming headset. The bass in it is nice but the sound seems.... separated. The mids and highs seem to come out of a completely different pair of headphones.
 
my budget is roughly 75 euro's bit on the low side but I'm cheap

AKG K518LE - they should be cheaper in the EU than in the US, right?

Its 45 euro's here  51 with shipping.
 
So its well within my buget, ill check them out. Thanks man

 
 
ps. are they still comfortableafter long use?

They weren't at first, but I've found them be more comfortable now. I'm still using the stock pads - but it's possible to replace them with the Sennheiser HD25-II's velour pads, which are supposed to improve comfort.
 
How big is your head size? I wear a size "Large" hat, and I have to extend them to 9 to 10 clicks (there are 10 clicks total). If you have a larger head, these may not be for you. If it's smaller, it should be fine.

Ultrasone Zino?

i guess i have a pretty smal head.. i think
 
Ill see if i can find a place to try them out.
 
Any other ideas? i am looking at the 555(that 595 mod is quite interesting too). I know its way over my budget but if it is really worth it i think i can find some extra change between the couch cushions
 
 
That zino is a bit too expensive actually. I cant seem to find it below 110 euro's and even the sennheiser 555's are less expensive(88 euro's)
 
 
Welp i went to the stores. tried out a bunch and went home with the Philips SHP8500. The deep but not too pushy bass and clear sound realy sounds great.
