it's IMPERATIVE you find sets of headphones that isolate, rather than offer noise cancelling/reducing.

There are many cheap closed headphones that isolate incredibly well.

Some IEM's already block off a significant amount of sound, with an external pair of closed headphones you shouldn't be able to hear anything.

Van Caspel, PM me or add me on facebook if you need urgent help.
Stay calm and split drones. I'M NESTEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'M NESTEAAAAAAAAAAAA

Call me crazy but I love my $10 Skullcandy jib in ear headphones. Clean, crisp, and clear with just the right amount of bass for the kind of music I listen to (mostly trance and some general radio and gaming). Also the rubber ear buds are very confortable. And they came with 3 different sized sets. All for $10.

Im not really huge on the audio department of things. I am looking for cheap and durable. I often find myself breaking my headphones(lol). I just want to be able to talk to my friends. I really like the feel of in ears that go straight down(think crappy ipod). I also want to able to talk to my friends. Also, I like to move around a lot (turning my head, bending down and up) when i play, so I feel that the arching type over your head always falls off.

Is this possible for cheap?

I am looking for headphones for my 2v2's, talking on Skype and general gaming as well - on PC. What as of now, would people recommend? My budget would probably be about £100-£150 but cheap is always good!

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but i have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s, which understandable, didn't come with a volume dial on the headphones themselves. This was never a problem until i started streaming, but either my music is ridiculously loud for me, or ridiculously quiet for my viewers, is there any way around this?

EDIT: Solved issue myself, turns out i can plug my headset into my speakers, and use them as an external volume control which doesn't affect stream volume
Just break the rules, and you see the truth.

Looking for a pair of headphones to listen to almost exclusively music on my computer and maybe iPod, as I already have a headset for games. I mostly listen to rock and metal and have read on several sites that Grado is generally a good brand for that. Budget would be around $100, don't need crazy high-end. Should I still look at a pair of Grado's, or are there maybe others in that price range?

I have no direct knowledge... but copied from here, rock & metal section:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1014902/ocns-most-recommended-audio-products

+ Show Spoiler +
$60 Price Range:

Grado SR60i

Entry level Grados, but have tons of modifications to help make them better. They have no sound stage, so don't consider them for gaming. They're amazing for rock/metal and actually do have some bass. You can modify them to have even more.

$75 Price Range:

Fostex T50RP

Brought up again because of their excellent mids and highs. These are great for rock. Their detail and clarity might scare some away from metal due to typically poorly recorded metal in recent years, but other than that a great addition for only $75. There are mods you can make for these headphones as well.

$80 Price Range:

Grado SR80i

Again, tons of modifications can be done to make them sound better.

$100 Price Range:

Alessandro MS1i

They're headphones made by Grado under the 'Alessandro' brand name. They shine for Rock and Metal. You can modify these as well.


Perhaps that will be of some help to you.

I have looked at that page, although I think it's been edited since I last saw it. I was wondering if there were any other headphones worth mentioning. Also, I would like to try out the pair of headphones before I buy, do any websites offer that? Or maybe any stores in the Chicago area that let you do that

EDIT: I might consider upping my budget to $200

I am looking for headphones with a budget of about 120, somewhat flexible by 10-20, preferably around $100. I have done my research, believe me, and it is the conflict of opinions that puts me in such ordeal. I have read comments that praise Sennheiser, yet many say its headphones are overrated and simply used by gamers due to sponsorship. I have heard good and bad comments about the Razer Orca (I do NOT want Razer products btw, my family doesn't want snake items in the house for superstitious reasons...) I heard the Siberia breaks after a few months. Astro A40s are out of my price range. As shown, I do have a background from research.

Do I want a microphone?
Preferably, I am okay if it doesn't come with one though. My current desktop mic is not the BEST of quality, and I would be glad if it had a mic, preferably detachable. However, I prefer quality over microphone.

What am I going to use it for?
Gaming w/ Skype + Music
I am not an audiophile. From research, I heard gaming headphones are just a scheme and brands such as Turtle Beach, Razer, and Sennheiser are all just ways to earn gamers' attention with inefficient quality. Anyway, I listen to Euro-Techno and some modern day music, e.g. K-Pop, American Top 40 (yes I am a modernist into contemporary music).

What plug?
THIS IS A MUST.
i must have audio jack (w/ or w/o mic) and NOT USB. (I want to use it for my iPod at home).

I am thinking about the Corsair 1500, but since its USB, i now cannot.

Hi, I am thinking about getting new headphones, I just really want them for a great music listening experience, I'm not into dubstep or a lot of pop, so I don't need extremely bass heavy sound. I'm just looking for a real, true sound. Any recommendations would be great, I'm willing to spend up to around 200$. Thanks.
Keep calm and carry on

If you are really willing to spend up to 200$, i would recommend Grado SR60i with a decent portable amp. Their sound is very natural,neutral, not mainstream bass- or treble-heavy. They are, however, completely open, so no noise isolation whatsoever, you should mostly use them in a silent environment.
