What headphones should I get?

[Karls]

So recently I've been using a cheap, in-ear headset, and I finally got enough money to invest in a proper pair of wireless headphones.

I am thinking of the Sennheiser RS120 or the Creative HN-900, but I am not sure.

I also have a budget of 1000 SEK, which is around 120 USD, 110 Europs or 85 GBP.

Why wireless, out of interest? You're massively limiting selection and massively increasing price, all else being equal.

It's simply by the fact I've ruined 2 pair of decent headphones by getting the wire stuck in my chair, and then rolling it back, tugging the wire so they broke.

PC or Console?

PC. Haven't touched a console in like 2 years.

if you're looking seriously at the Sennheiser RS120 which IS wireless it relies on the RED/WHITE Audio cables (you'll need a 3.5mm adapter for your PC to use the RED/WHITE audio cable but these are the same headphones i use for my PC and the sound quality is amazing.

 

I would highly suggest you get the Sennheiser RS120 you won't be disapointed but be prepared if you play a lot of PC you'll be changing batteries often, the re-chargeable batteries that come with it are pretty weak and don't hold a good charge.

If they are still around, consider a pair of Sennheiser HD 449's. I own a couple of pairs, and for me, they are serving me well.

Do you actually want in-ear ones? If not the Koss BT540i is a good buy, great soundstage for Bluetooth. But to be honest they're always going to be worse than equivalent wired ones.

 

Have a look at the AKG K550 or the Y50. The former has a very thick cable which is pretty hardy, the Y50 lead detached at both ends so if you break it you can just plug in another.

 

Sadly much of the Sennheiser range is overpriced tat.

Have you considered researching what type of audio signature you like? That could really help in narrowing what type of headphone suits you.

I can't recommend an exact headphone, but I love the warmer Audio Technicas. I own a Pro700 Mk2 I bought used and it's amazing for gaming. Maybe look into some wireless Audio Technicas.
