Hi, I would like to buy some new headphones to be used for both gaming and listening to music. I would ideally like to spend no more than £100 and am hoping for some suggestions/advice. My requirements:
3.5mm functionality. I will definitely be needing to used the headphones in a wired state. Would be fine with them not being wireless.
Over-ears.
Some type of noise cancelling would be useful, be it passive or active.
Decent audio
Looking around, it seems that ANC isn't the best at this price point and will also effect the audio quality, so I'm leaning towards a pair that have a decent fit around the ears instead. Likewise, whist I like the idea of the surround sound features some offer for gaming, I'm not sure how necessary/effective such things are.
Because of the above reasoning and my lack of need for a mic, I have pencilled in either the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO or the SKULLCANDY Hesh ANC, but am also considering the Razer BlackShark V2.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the above pairs or on any others that might be suitable? Reviews seem to generally be of little value for obvious reasons. Thanks.
