Deus Ex Alpha

im looking for good headphones, none of that skullcandy and dr gay beats

What's the use?

If it's for gaming, please don't get surround sound headphones because they don't work.

AKG K518LE

Pretty as fuck, sounds excellent

Only issue is if you have a big head they will be tight



If ur lookin for gayman shit

SteelSeries Siberia V2

Cost about £30/40 bux now and they sound gr8, mike is gr8

Or anything by Audio Technica.

Sennheiser HD800

I don't think you want to spend $1,800 on headphones. So in all seriousness, let us know what the intended use is.


Proto is dead on about Siberia V2 headset for gaming. I have a pair myself and love them.

For professional audio. I'd highly recommend Audio-Technica (as Jake has already mentioned), or Sennheiser. All other brands are incomparable in Audio quality.

It's a damn shame Genelec doesn't make headphones. Their coils are second to none.

Of course they don't work lol. They're not surround because they only have 2 speakers.

They'd be used for listening to music from my ipod. I don't need them for gaming because I already have surround sound.

Do you care about style at all? Or do you just want the best quality for the price (see the question below).

What price range are you looking at?

Well, actually they have 5 drivers, but they're ALL trash and they're ALL clustered around your ear.

Positional audio works perfectly with two speakers.

Guess he didn't want headphones anymore :/

I know he mentioned dr gay in the first post lol, but what are those Dr Dre headphones like? I've seen a few people walking around with them

They're horrible mate.

Cheap parts, that are altered to give hollow MID so the mid sounds like fake bass.

The FQ is not precise at all. Noise cancellation is good, but most headphones have good cancellation these days anyways.

Most people wear them for the looks (& brand). However, more than half of those people will try and convince you THEYRE THE BEST QUALITY EVRRRR.

If you go to any computer store which has headphone demos, they'll have the whole Beats range on display.

You can hear the shit for yourself.

Even the premium ones sound like they should be sold for £50.

That's why Dr. Dre removed his name from them.

I remember being younger, I was doing an IT course.

I had an hour long argument with some dude who was trying to convince me Turtle Beach headphones are the best you can possibly get for gaming

I tried to explain to him that you can buy much cheaper headphones, stick a mic on them and get much better quality, and that surround sound in headphones is full retard

Since then I have grown up a little and don't partake in many debates. Let the retards be retarded

I've just bought SteelSeries Siberia V2 because my Fatal1ty's one died, xD.

The microphone/sounds are good.
