I got $500 to spend. Give or take.

I want some good computer headphones for my PC, but don't know where to begin. I do a lot of gaming. I also like to watch DVD's.

I think I would prefer a closed headphones, but am open to a open style if they are better. I don't want to use a amp. I just want some headphones. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yeah, a pair of 10 buck ones so I could clobber you over the head with them and then nick the the remainder off your dumb rich ass.

$500 for headphones, indeed. :roll:

Buy a hooker, an eight ball, and 5 cases of lager and a pair of $10 lazer headphones, you Git, and have a focking good time!

Ask this as*shole:

mailto:GaryKrakow@FEEDBACK.MSNBC.com

he's a self proclaimed audio expert who loves to give advice and recommendations for overpriced audio equipment. In this review, he recommonds a pair of $350 portable iPod speakers. Not unlike the ones u can get at compusa for $50. According to him, $350 is cheap. Methinks he's a jaded coc*k sucker.

Drop $490 on some decent bookshelf Polk Audios and spend the remaining
$10 on duct tape to mount them to your head. Although, if you move a lot
during gaming, I suggest using 10" bolts through a pre-drilled hole.

I can appreciate a good pair of headphones. But >$500 for a pair? Come on. It's a little ridiculous.

But hey, it's your money. Go for it bud.

I am not looking to spend $500....

That is my price cap. I decided to go with HD595 headphones. Everyone says they are the best (within my price range) and they only cost $175.

Those of you who are interested in what i picked up: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsi [...] id=newHD-3

According to that dude on MSNBC, that company makes the best headphones.

And $175 isn't a bad price at all. Bose tries to sell those noise cancelation headphones for $300. Pffffffffffft.

Headphones for gaming do not need to be ''high end''
they must be '' fun end''...

For the 500$ buck get social counseling advice.

Actually, that's just a bloody nose. Try using only a couple fingers at a time
in the future.

Yes, but that's just a beneficial side-effect.

They were for anti-social teen Japanese gadget freaks on the streets of Tokyo who'd sushi their own parents if it meant they had the latest craze in the palm of their hands; or in this case, strapped to their heads.
