If you are used to Sennheisers you dont have much choice.

But, ive really come to love the top end stuff from JVC. Excellent price for the audio quality. And many people on audiophile forums will attest to that.

Alright guys... Been a while that I've been away. But I've been busy.

I'm pretty happy with my gear that I managed to complete here. BTW, If a few of you don't know it yet, I am based out of Abu Dhabi now...

What you see in the pictures are my Audio Technica M50x, American Audio HP-550s, Panasonic RP-HTF600s and V-Moda Crossfade LPs, with a fiiO E07K Andes.


.[/STRIKETHROUGH]

Offer over.

Will review the stuff later. Kind of busy here. Though I can say all are excellent. V-Modas have more bass. Panasonics are easier on the ear, but lose bass, a bit. American Audios are perfect all-round but not too comfortable. M50s are... M50s! They kick a$$! Plus the M50x has the removable cable... so that's cool!
These things Audio Technica M50x are a godsend

I have tried and tested 80% of high end headphones, but still these easily stand their own..

BTW I am more interested in the PC casing and skin you got there......

Aoa guys so i thought its time to by some new headphones. I have been using Sennheiser HD 428 for quite a while and there going great by i have gotten bored by them so need some change. So kindly recommend me some good quality headphones under 15k. My main usage is movies, songs and some times games.

Start by explaining what 'getting bored of headphones' even means and what 'change' do you want.

From 'getting bored' I meant that to me my sennheisers now sound very mediocre to me. I guess i have grown accustomed to the sound output by them plus I miss that deep thumping bass in my headphones that the 428s dont offer.
And by change i meant that i just want to upgrade to something better than the sennheisers.

M50x are great but they're for $170 on Amazon, which is at least Rs. 20,000.

Well any other suggestions that are good and are easily available in Pakistan?.
The only headphones I can think of that provide deep, booming bass are the Beats Solo. But they're quite terrible in everything else. For deep bass + good quality sound in headphones you'll need to spend more than Rs. 15,000. I would stick with the Sennheiser headphones you have right now.

I'd like to add here... on top of what's already been said; I think the JVC RX900s might be good - easy on the money, as well as everything else. The only catch with those and some options would be a removable cable (for JVCs, Panasonics etc.). Honorable mentions are Panasonic RTF-600s, Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, Sony MDR7506...
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro

Do check out an amp too if you don't already have one, as it might improve upon your current experience. A fiiO e6 is available for as low as Rs. 3000, but it's just a basic, starter amp though... an E7 or higher would be better, but again, ~ Rs. 10k-ish...

I am looking for headset either (5.1 or 7.1) (wired or wireless) (True or Virtual sound). My max budget is Rs 16k.
I need it preferably for TV Series and Movies and sometime Dota 2.

Any recommendation or suggesting.

Recently i was using Roccat Kave 5.1. It was awesome because it has vibration for subwoofer. Unfortunately its not working anymore.

Btw I recently checked out some decent ekg headsets at desert sound and Nash Co see if that's your cup of tea.

But honestly if you're spending 16k to make sure you have decent audio equipment to back your purchase. And get em imported via someone who's coming from abroad rather than wasting time and money here...

You broke a roccat headset? How?
I didn't broke. It actually stop functioning itself, only front and rear working while Center and woofer not working.
Another problem occur is that Volume level in left Cup is lower than Right side. This left and right volume level fixed through volume control.

My System is good: core i5 3.2Ghz, 8 GB RAM, Intel z68DB M/B, Geforce 550Ti, 120 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD.

My parents live in Jeddah i can ask them to buy but the problem is all i can see is Turtle Beach in every Saudi Computer website and some new brands which i never heard of so i avoiding to take risk with such money.

With my budget range all i can see is Either Logitech G930 (Wireless) or Razer Megadelon (Wired). From my personal experience logitech items are more durable than razer.

If you wanna spend 15k+ on a set for gaming then I think its a waste of money. And from your system specs I dont see a sound card... you might want to spend some money on that too.

see if you can find a used SB0880 creative soundcard here on pg. as far as importing is concerned, if you got someone in mid east then good. brands like panasonic and sony are aplenty over there... otherwise JVC, Sennhsr etc are good enough within rs. ~10k range. also check if theres an Asus brand soundcard available over there if yes then definitely go for it.

Thx for the help. I will get that sound card and will import better headset from Alibaba.

Sennheiser PC-350 is awesome in the 15k range.
Is it 5.1 or 7.1 ?

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
