Default Which headphones

Hey folks,

My computer headphones finally died today, so time for a new set. I have been using the logitech G35 (here: G35 Surround Sound Headset ). Really want to stick to closed ear-piece because i use them for very long periods for gaming/tv/music.

Budget would be around $2-300, want to order online (cos i'm lazy).

I know there are a lot of people on here who know there shit with stuff like this, so would appreciate your opinions

Thanks,

If you like the G35's & would like to keep familiar with a Similar setup. I would recommend the G930's which are wireless Variant. Love my pair for gaming and movies.

If your an audiophile, produce music, DJ etc like myself: Sennheiser HD 25 MK II's are the way to go. Love mine to bits and cannot compare them with any other headphones.

Sennheiser Australia - New Zealand: HD 25-1 II

i'm just chasing something comfortable with a good sound quality.. these headphones are on at work, and when i'm at home most evenings.. they probably get 6-10 hours of use a day...

i mostly use them for music at work, and wathcing TV when the wife is hogging the TV.

Go either seinheisser or technics then... Durable, good sound quality and reasonably priced (kinda)

Audio-Technica ATH AD700

Using them right now and have been fantastic. Great sound at a reasonable price.

Best with a good soundcard and/or a headphone amp.

Get them here.

Sennheiser or AD's.

Surround sound gaming headphones are fake and shit.

See my title under 'Forum Supporter' for why I may know this.

The best thing you can do is get a really good pair of 2 channel headphones with nice bass and midrange. Also open-ended will allow your ears to breathe a bit better.
