208104-ear-force-px-21-2_original.jpg

Turtle Beach Ear force px21 *Headset* (It has a mic, on the left side, Bad angle :3)
There pretty awesome Quality wise
I actually just bought the same headset the other day, cost me $117
Worth it IMO, esspecially after using $10 earphones, the quality rise is AMAZING.
The only difference is mine is red and yours is blue? Mines all rounded for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360 but sadly USB powered. I use iPod earphones that I got off my brother for when I'm out and about.

I'm cheap so these:

Were somewhere in the 20 euro range.
Same here.

I love good sounding headphones, but I totally detest wearing them after max 1 hour. Guess I should stop investing in them and turn to earbuds, or get some more confy ones (anyone has got any suggestions on this? need UBER-confy ones, thx).

Creative Aurvana Live! They're super comfortable and sound great for the price I paid.

You may want to check this out. It's a giant thread that has reviews for tons of full-sized headphones. There's a chart near the bottom that summarizes the reviews.

And to the people who buy Beats, realize you're paying a premium purely for the brand and style. Their marketing of saying that Beats offers true studio quality sound is totally bullcrap. There are always headphones out there are offer better performance for a lower price than Beats (this goes for Souls too, and whatever 50 cent's brand is).

Not my headphones, but a friend let me borrow them for 2 months. Currently using the Beats Solo HD. Once I save up enough money, I wanna get the SOL Republic Track HDs since according to everyone on Best Buy it's a better buy.

Isn't Best Buy a supermarket chain (no clue, no Best Buy here)? If so, I wouldn't exactly trust reviews from a supermarket chain. I would check some more reliable sources.

It's a chain of Electronics shops, and your original assumption is correct. I wouldn't trust anything Best Buy says either.

Nah, here in the US BestBuy is a large electronics retailer.

I would check some more reliable sources.

As would I still. Seldom have I found the word of a BestBuy employee useful. Part of the reason I can't stand going there.

Sennheiser CX-150. Good, a damn good $20 spent at FYE, but I need something better.

Maybe I don't. When I am listening to music, it is either in my car, over my Yamaha home theater system that I got for my PC, or my Turtle Beach XL1 headset when the rest of the house is sleeping. Only if I am not on Skype with my girlfriend at night do I switch to actual headphones.

You can get a pair of Sennheiser HD202s, if you're looking for something other than earbuds.

That's just gross, dude.

Key lines:
At the price of MSRP of $99.99 there are many other significantly better headphones you could pick out that would sound incredibly better compared to the Tracks headphones though I would recommend these to a bass head.
I believe the v10 sound engine in the Tracks HD solve the problems of the flat Mids and Highs the standard Tracks have, so the Tracks HD should be worth trying out if a retail store near you has them on their demo display. The HD's sound exactly the same, the HD's were just a tad louder when I was comparing them side by side. Build quality is a bit better on the HD's, only difference.

Actually, there is a pair of over the ear Sony noise canceling headphones on clearance at work. If they get cheaper (Yeah, I'm a cheapass) I might very well pick them up. I love my old Sony MDR-NC22 noise canceling earbuds, I tipped a coworker onto a pair of newer model ones that sound even better, so I would be quite interested to try an over the ear set.

Thanks for the insight everyone! I thought SOL was slightly celebrity endorsed since on their YouTube page they have Steve Aoki using their headphones. Well if these aren't worth my money, do any of you know about the Fanny Wang 1000s (On Ear Wangs)? Saw some reviews on YouTube saying they beat out even the Beats Studio headphones.

In the future, let that be your queue to pay extra caution rofl. THings that are "celebrity endorsed" tend to be either garbage or horrendously overpriced. If you want good over the ear headphones, look into some ones that DJs use. They're not gonna bullshit with "oh this is better than this because it costs more", though each DJ will have his/her own personal preference. But they need good headphones to do their job right.

In fact, my friend who is a DJ did pick up a pair of Sennheiser headphones a few months back, and iirc they were the HD202s that TwinRetro mentioned. He loves them, and I thought they sounded pretty damn good too.

Those were my fave headphones that I had, best headphones I ever had in terms of confort, they cost me around 75€ at the time (got them like 3 years ago or so), they're from Audio Technica, however I lost them last year and have been using some Skullcandy headphones untill I find those in stores again (they're out of stock everywhere, even online).
