I'm looking to get some decent headphones in canada, but most of the models I can't find in any canadian stores (e.g. sennheiser HD 280 or HD 555 etc;). I am seeing the creative labs fatality headsets but I'm not sure if they are any good, and I wanted to get some sennheisers. Does anyone from canada know where to get headphones at decent prices?

Did you check out canadacomputers?

They have both 280 and 555. If it's for RTS, you don't need such high end headphones. I bought the razer moray for $40. The quality is fantastic and the noise cancellation is great as well.

The Fatality MKII is good. Don't get it if it doesn't say MKII, the first one was crap!

I'm actually using a MKII right now, the price was right

And don't forget newegg.ca <3 newegg prices


Here's a link right to the headphone section.

I couldn't find the MKII there, so here's my next choice http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826153043

oh wow, i didnt know that canada computers had both the 280 and the 555... i wanted the nice headphones for music tho... and for using with my ps3 (connected to an external monitor).

my main problem with regular headphones is no matter which brand i buy, they always break on me. im talking about the earbud types for use with my ipod etc;, most of the times one side always gets louder than the other or one side stops working... so i was hoping to spend a little on some nice headphones that wont break, rather than spending $20 every 3 months... so im hoping the morays dont break either!

also, other than the 280 and the 555, which sennheiser headphones have really good price/performance ratios?

If I were you I'd order these:

I kind of want to myself, but lol... I already have expensive headphones, I can't really justify it.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

You bend/pinch the cord too much and the wire gets dislodged etc. this usually happens at were the cord connects to the headphones or where the cord connects to the dongle that connects to the cd player. Getting something to handle your cable management would be helpful imo.

what do you mean something to handle my cable management? like something to keep the headphones in? i usually wrap them around the ipod, which i guess could be causing the wire dislodging? Also, is there a tutorial or something on how to fix headphones that have had their wires pinched? (since its just the wire i assume its relatively easy to fix?
