You need to look at the packaging for that kind of information I don't imagine it being very difficult. You just need to connect the wires again with the new plug. Maybe use some tape to clean up the gap. | ||

i own a steelseries 5hv2 for the third time and am considering perhaps a sennheiser branded headphone which is around the same price range ($90-120) | ||

Mine broke after 6 months of use because they use cheap braided cables which offer very limited durability. I have never used any sennheiser headphones so I don't know anything about them except many people being happy with the HD555's. I use Audio-technica ad700's and for the same price as the 5hv2s they are a significant upgrade. I wrote a long detailed review for them but instead I will just post this youtube review. If you want closed cans for noise cancellation there is a ad500 version that has that and it is a little cheaper. Also they are not a headset so no mic but you can easily get a 5$ clip on mic if needed. | ||

Astro A40 person, get the PC360 as you are willing to spend around 300 dollars, if you can get the PC360 (from Razordogdeals.com , he is authorized and can offer discounts) then you'll be in a-okay position. | ||

It's decent. Comfort wise Beyerdynamic is one of the top due to their velour ear pads and the nicely padded headband, yet the sound quality in almost every true closed headphone is lacking (except certain top tier ones like the excessively overpriced Edition 8 Ultrasones). Bass will be decent, but for gaming I would look towards other headphones. | ||

Yeah, they aren't the best gaming headphones, but when I'm playing games, I'm so much more focused on the gameplay itself to be criticizing or praising the music and sound effects. If you're play FPS games, and you're used to using speakers, you may feel a slight disadvantage because the soundstage while inhibit you from pinpointing where your enemies are coming from, but it shouldn't be a make or break deal. Music will sound amazing on the 770's. They're a little bass-heavy, and that could be a good or bad thing. If you want a slightly more flat response, you could try to get the 250 ohm version, but make sure you get some sort of amp for it. =] | ||

You don't need a headphone amplifier to get the most out of them. They are considered the best portable headphone for its low ohmage and studio quality sound. The HD595s are fine but for a little more money the HD25s are much better. Also, the D2000s aren't worth it unless you intend to amplify them. | ||

I use mine for mixing at concerts and such, you literally don't hear anything of your environment if you wear them under "normal" conditions, even with music turned off. Unless that's exactly what you want of course. =P | ||

After spending a couple hours reading on different sites, people have all these fancy smancy headphones that i've never even heard of before and I was wondering if a "gaming" headset is really the best way to go. I've also heard headphones with mics are much worse in comparison to those without, not sure if true or not. | ||

Also, the D2000s aren't worth it unless you intend to amplify them. That's ridiculous, D2000 gets far above moderate volume from bloody portable music players. D2000 sound far better out of an amp, a computer or a Cowon than the HD25-1 II and the only reason to get the latter is if you want portability which the D2000 are not at all suited for. There are headphones that need amping, D2000 ain't one unless you believe in amps being made of fairy dust and rainbows. And how you think the HD25-1 II are better than the HD595 I don't get either. HD25-1 II is a closed on-ear headphone that is one of the best portable headphones, doesn't mean it exceeds full sizes. Portability adds more to the price. For a home headphone I'd take the HD558/595/598 over the HD25-1 II any day of the week. | ||
