Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Senheisser makes some headphones for gaming I believe. Check out head-fi.org.

harmonda Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Gaming but no mic? Hmmm. I have tritton AX Pros and they are AMAZING. Just over your budget but absolutely worth it IMO. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Tritton+Technologies+-+AX+720+Gaming+Audio+System+for+Xbox%2C+PS3+and+Mac/Windows/9466124.p?id=1218109500597&skuId=9466124&st=tritton&cp=1&lp=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Bose Quiet Comfort 15. Yes, they are more than $100, yes they are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Emma Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Shure, Etymotics, or Senheiser. I generally avoid Bose. They don't make bad stuff, but they are way over priced.

jeffro Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well they were sold out of like everything there there, no surprise. Being the impatient person i am, i opted for a set of Tritton Detonators. Theyre for 360 but work fine in my PC. Havnt had the opportunity to check them out yet.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Steer clear of Bose headphones. You don't get anything near what you could from another headphone. I would look online if I were you. Buying at most local stores when it comes to headphones normally results in a big waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Sell gift card, buy a pair of Grados, never look back. http://www.gradolabs.com/page_headphones.php This. I was soo close to getting a set of the 225's however I use my headphones at work and couldn't do the open air design without disrupting others around me. They are the most amazing headphones I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Just couldn't justify it for limited use I don't often back Bose products but I honestly think that for the money their basic Tri-port headphones ($150 I think) have very good sound quality. Maybe a little heavy on the Bass but I like stuff that way so they fit my needs fine. Being pretty rough on headphones and going through a pair of Tri-Port's about every year (my own fault not the product...I use them detailing, at the gym, etc they get knocked around a good bit), I decided to try to find something cheaper this last go around and the Sennheiser HD428's are what I wound up with. $50-80 depending on where you get them. Sound quality not on par with the Bose, certainly not the Grado howevr it's not bad by any means and I won't feel as bad when I bust them up.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and thinks everyone else's stinks." for inexpensive headphones, i agree with you that skullcandy are the way to go. i've got a cheap pair of earbuds at home that are way better than any sony,apple,etc earbud i've used that cost < $30. and FYI my opinions are facts, supported by unflinching confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
