Soo, I searched the forums and found that there wasn't much about headphones (Something I'm very, very interested in). What do you guys use for your listening? Where'd you get it from and for how much?
And if you want any guidance for headphone buying, then I'd be happy to help. I read a lot about them (Hols; I'm free and have nothing to do) and believe myself to have decent knowledge regarding them.

Oh, and this is my first thread/post here. Hello everyone! :D

price only 100 dollars for this sexy piece of Sony hardware

Those Sony cans are SAX! Seriously man. Why havent I heard of them before? Now thats something Id like to try out.

And the Marshmallows are really, really good. One of the best bang for buck iems. Only the Meelec M2 are better than them in that price range, and that only slightly better. Id recommend them to anyone!

And Beats? Please, man. Dont even get me started. Theyre only good if you wanna look 'cool' to some people. Seriously. Theyre hugely overpriced (you pay 75% for Dr Dre's name and all the celebrity endorsements, 25% for the headphones themselves). You can get much better for much less.

About damn time someone made this thread. I'm a bit of an audiophile myself and I currently own JVC HA RX-700. Got them from a guy on PG for Rs. 4000.

I daresay these are the best headphones for the price. The internet reviews are full of praises. And I believe JVCs are severely underrated. They are right up there against your Senheissers and Beyers.

EDIT: Those SONY headphones are built for gaming, don't expect spectacular sound quality from them.

Well, JVC are under rated here in Pakistan, atleast. The Marshmallows would give the earbuds you get at Sony a run for their money. But I wouldnt go as far as saying theyve the best budget headphones. The Koss KSC-75 are the best budget headphones hand down. Cheap, good SQ and a lifetime warranty. Doesnt get much better than that.

Built for gaming doesnt mean that theyll have terrible sound man. I wouldnt expect them to be great for music, but lets see. They may have an excellent soundstage.

And you're welcome. Now wheres my cake? :p

BTW I own Sony MDR-v6 :D
The V6 are excellent headphones! Where'd you get them from and for how much?

And Id suggest you stay away from wireless headphones if you want decent quality, my friend. And good wireless headphones are way more costly than their wired counterparts. What do you want those headphones for? Maybe I could help suggest an alternative.

Razer's notorious for being overpriced man. Megalodons sound quality is no good for its price. It looks nice for sure, but the sound is meh.

I got the V6 from newegg for 65$ on sale down from 120$ :D

I might actually sell these if I get a good price. Looking to buy Etymotic Research ER-4S or Westone 2 for movies and music. Cant decide if IEMs are good for movies or not.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
