Assalam o Alaikum. Looking for budget headphones in the range of 2500rs. Bought new gaming rig 7700k with z270 gaming m5. Some suggest me to go for siberia v2 or 7H used. But I heard they are refurbished.

great...
how is the sound? and whats that Hi-res stuff they claim? does that make significant difference?
Well i have tested it for about an 1 hour or so on my pc. Without any Dac/Amp. And there's only word about the sound. It's "Bassy" but not over emphasised or muddy like those Beats headphones produce. Overall I'm very satisfied with it. And with 24 or 28 Impedance, it is very efficient. It doesn't require an Amp to shine, even on portable devices like a smartphone or IPod

And Btw Juma Mubarak :)

So, I'm about to go for Sony MDR 1000X/B, they'll be my first wireless headphones, but I want to know couple of things.

1) What's the difference between 1000x and 1000x/b

2) In case of battery deteriorating, will I be able to do something about it?

I'm planning on using them for a longer term, and want to know if they'll serve me long enough. I've already used them, and the sound is really good for the music I listen to.

I could not find any difference but I could find one more MDR1000X/C also so I think B n C is just for various color versions

About battery on Amazon, many asked this and it's not user replaceable but can be used with wire when not charged ... I think with wire n battery dead it's ANC won't work ... you will have to send it for service n replace by Sony ...
It's too bad we can audition anything in this country but if you have already n u like it's sound, go for it ...

My friend got these, and I loved the sound on them. They're as comparable to my ATH M50x when they're being powered, and they're really good for commuting. I've already ordered them through Amaga, they should be here soon.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
