In my search for a decent and affordable,sub 100$, headphones, I've stumbled across a whole new world filled with geeks and their unhealthy addictions - much like ours. :D

And just in case you buy some nice high quality headphones but want a good mic, I suggest: http://www.modmic.com/

 

It's really great. Received mine about a week ago and love it. Frees you up to any headphones out there and not limit yourself to headsets.

If you want headphones for all ranges in audio....not just dr dre hip hop. Then get these

 

 

http://www.motorheadphones.com/en Made to perform on all the ranges. Esp if you dont listen to bass filled hip hop

That looks like a good mic. Thanks, I didn't even know it existed!

 

I don't like anything that's shiny unless it's metal, so I'm definitely not a fan of Beats. And from all the researching I've done the past few days, Beats are cheaply made and I've seen videos od the plastic headband snapping. I have my heart set on Grado Sr60i and I hope, one of these days, to get an Ultrasone HFI 580 for watching movies and playing DCS.

 

I can't believe I'm already addicted to reading Head Fi site. WTF?

Thanks for the tip - I've got AKG 270 professional studio headphones lying around, so I was looking for simple mic solution - this looks like it!

Thanks for that, been toying with the idea of a nice set of Seinnheiser 650's for my entertainment needs, but could not find a good mike combo for it.

 

This looks like a winner.

Hey Quirk!

 

Thanks for the effort. Mic looks great and the mount design is unobtrusive and very clever.

 

Just perfect! :thumbup:

From my experience (Ex WoW HL officer, current Eve officer), you'd be better with a USB headset (in case of headphones obviously)

Pros :

- No signal loss (unless you plug a 10m extender)

- front USB connectors on PC towers

- Works natively on Macintosh (i remind you Macs has Line-In, that's not unpowered "Low-quality" Mic-In. Never say you will never buy a Mac. Sometimes you simply don't have that choice)

 

Cons :

- Freaking overpriced

- Does not plug on your shiny iPhone 5 or other iDevices

 

In my case, i've bought Creative USB fatal1ty a long time ago. It's not the best out there now (made for rather small ears), but i didn't had very much alternatives back in those days.
