Need some great headphones

**wedge22** · 26-10-2003, 02:11 PM

I only use headphones nowe and was wondering what you guys would reccomend for me to use mainly for gaming and music, i can spend up to £50 on them.

If you're not wanting a microphone, how about a pair of Sennhesier 497s?

They look a bit cheap, but they are very good headphones for the money (RRP is £50 as far as I'm aware, but you can often find Sennheisers for much below their retail price, such as that above store).

Get some nice Sennheiser 'phones, they're very cheap from there.

I remember reading about headphones, that would produce the same pleasure as a 5.1 set. Anyone knows about it? Its something like souround headphones if that makes sence.

Expensive compared to the prices at askdirect.co.uk.

And the surrond sound headphones are the Zalman ones - I think there is a review on the hexus site..

i need some headphones for gaming and music aswell, need some that go very loud, which you cant hear while not wearng them (my mum can hear my cheap sony ones from 2 rooms away, yes she has very good hearing) also them sounding good would be a plus, any recommendations?

If you want to spend lots of money get a set of DSP-500's. Absolutely amazing quality, you don't need a sound card to use them. They cost for you VAT payers about £80 i think

I've heard that a good pair of headphone (e.g. some of the Sennheiser) can do pretty convincing surround.

Sennheiser really are top dog by quite a way when it comes to headphones. Have a look around, they have a wide selection of headphones to suit both taste and budget.

I think that Sennhesier are starting to produce Gaming headsets with boom mics

These should absolutely whoopass

Yup they start of from around £50, and from the things ive heard they are amazing.

**SmileyUK** · 27-10-2003, 03:43 PM

The zalmans are good for gaming xperiences provided you have a sound card that supports it..

**[GSV]Myocardial** · 27-10-2003, 08:04 PM

I'll be trading in me Plantronics Audio .80s for a set of senny's at last

**Bunjiweb** · 27-10-2003, 09:18 PM

The Zalman Headphones are excellent in my opinion. For Gaming, DVD Movies and Music, they provide a quality and thorough sound in true surround. This is achieved by having 6 speakers in the headphone, 3 each side (2 front, 2 centre and 2 rear).

Well worth the purchase if u:

a) can afford them
b) can find somewhere that sells them.
