I am a noob with this stuff but hear open or semi open are the best.

I want the best quality wireless headphones for gaming please. My birthday is coming up soon and want the family to all chip in to get me £100 worth of quality headphones.

Thanx in advance :)
 
Wireless and quality is a bit of an oxymoron, to be honest. Especially under £100. Sennheiser's wireless range are probs some of the best but still expensive and still not that great when compared to wired headphones of a comparable price.
 
I have rotten luck with wired headphones as my son uses them also and i have been thru 4 wired headsets and still on 1 wireless ;)

The best you are likely to get within that price range are the Sennheiser RS 160. You can get them for less than £100.00 if you look.

I am hoping to get open cup headphones as they are supposed to be better for gaming, anything like that in the Sennheiser range for that price?
 
if you want quality, open back and wireless then you need to be prepared to pay a lot more than £100.

Good quality headphones generally start around the £100 mark and adding wireless functionality and a transmitter is obviously going to add quite a chunk to the cost.

The RS 160 is something of a bargain at £100 ~ £110
 
If you want quality, then really you need to be looking at headphones not headsets. As has already been said, the Sennheiser RS160 is a good buy for £110.

Open back is better for gaming, but that's the view with wired headphones. Wireless is not as good as wired, so you're already at a disadvantage. Looking for open back wireless headphones because open is better, doesn't make a lot of sense really.

If you need a microphone though, then you're probably going to have to look at headsets, as there isn't much point in getting wireless headphones and a clip on wired microphone. :p I suppose a desk microphone is always an option.
 
Well you can get the Sennheiser RS 120 II for about £80 and they are open back but as to how much of an improvement they would be I have no idea.

Put it this way, the good, open backed, Hi-Fi quality Sennheisers start at around £120 for the HD558 and that's for a wired headphone, so it doesn't have the electronics for receiving a wireless signal and there is no transmitter.

If you're talking about an open backed, wireless headset, with a built in microphone then forget about really good sound quality at anywhere near £100 (if at all).
 
Wired:

AKG K612 pro £100 in the rain forest will take a lot of beating at anywhere remotely near to the price.
 
it does ridds but it's still rubbish.

Asus haven't ever put a good DAC chip in a motherboard they have no finanicial reason to. being the maker of some of the better soundcards.
 
Yes but if an external DAC/Amp is a prerequisite for decent sound then he's going to have to spend the whole £100 to get something decent, like a FiiO E17K and that leaves nothing for headphones.

Personally I'd go with the K612 pros and start saving for a DAC/Amp as a future upgrade.
