Quite similar, my budget can stretch until 150 though.
But I'd like to keep it well below 100 if possible.

You can try the Creative SOUND BLASTER TACTIC3D Sigma or the Alpha too :)

Might wanna sell my Audio Technica AD700.

Superb soundstage for this price, but I got too lazy putting these cans on. I'm a quick-gamer, 1 round of BC2, 15 mins and I'm off.

So, current ATP3 speakers are doing me fine. The AD700 are a waste for my usage, super under-utilized :(

PM if keen :)

Cheers!

New to Headphones

Hi guys
I'm new to headphones however have been trying my luck at looking for good quality headphones that are:
- Good looking (Like dre beats)
- comfortable to put on for hours
- Wireless
- Able to cover the entire ear

Have looked at only Senheiser's however their price range of 480 - 680 is a little over budget.
Any recommendations for stuff within the range of 350 ?

since ur budget is below 350, do take a look at creative BT headset WP-350 which cost around 139. It supports apt-x codec and comes with built-in mic for hands-free phone calls. However, it doesnt cover ur whole ear.

Sennheiser headphones are okay looking depending on the model.

Comfortable? all closed cans to me are uncomfortable due to the heat produced.

Wireless? There quite a range out there but u sacrifice audio quality for it. Like paying $300 for a $200 wired headphone quality.

Portable or home use?
If portable i recommand iem instead.

HI TS... the IEM and headphone market has changed rapidly over the past 5 years... :o

I think the list should be updated from time to time :o

use this tips!

too good to be true

buy from authorized dealer

buy from a Brick and mortar shop

Lots of China fakes and imitation, there is actually no such thing as OEM , just very very very very very good imitation. and they are VERY VERY VERY VERY CHEAP in china compared to the price sold here as an OEM/imitation/fake
