Best headphones to invest in?

[Hoochie]

Looking into getting some good quality and durable headphones for gaming and especially for music listening.

what are some good models/brands you guys would recommend?

Invest? You planning on selling them later when they go up in value?

 

[Hoochie]

... Sennheisers.

I have the 580s. They're terrific and I've had them for over 2 years. Sennheiser even fixed them free of charge when one of the wires got screwed up.

 

[Bitrot]

I have the HD 570s. They are beautiful.

Fin.

The overflow wouldn't help you, since it kicks you after you use it unless you log in a SAD as well.

 

[Anguish]

dammit.

Sennheisers suck ass ... AKG K401 or better is the best bet.

Sennheisers

Sennheisers, definitely. I've had my 545's from 1998 for (duh) 5 years, and they still work magnificently. They capture such a wide frequency range and they're all circumarual so they're comfortable for long periods of time.

I got a pair of the 570s, I like then but to me 150 is way to much for headphones

 

[Deceptikon]

I got a pair of sennheiser EH 2200's they were lying on the floor a few weeks ago and I stepped on them and broke off the left ear piece, now they are held together with a thick layer of duct tape.

really really nice headphones though

 

[Grand Masta D]

HD-600's + amp.

 

[Mytzylplyx]

i use those.

 

[Hoochie]
