Looking to pick up a set for online gaming. Would like decent sound quality.

Is lag free wireless possible?

Budget is £~~150~~ £250-ish.

Would need something with a Mic.

Cheers.

Anyone got any experience with these? They seem quite expensive but if they're worth it then I'd be interested.

I'm a little concerned that the modmic might just lose it's stickiness after a while? Also, it's a bit expensive for a mic at £40+

If you want wireless just get the best wireless Sennheisers you can afford and slap on a modmic.

That wouldn't be wireless would it? :confused:

Ok, it's a tough choice this which is why I'm taking my time. I'm now considering placing audio quality over everything else, and am looking at the HD650. Are these still relevant? I know it's pushing my budget past £200, but may be worth it?

I know it's a personal choice thing, but I still like to hear opinions from actual user experiences as well as reading review sites.

So, budget pushed to £250

FiiO E10K is heading my way today. I'll get a play with it and see what I think before buying the new headphones.

Cheers.

Thing is, I already have a pair of Sony MDR-1NRC which I travel with as I fly twice per month and the noise cancelling is the feature I need most from them. I'll see what difference this FiiO E10K makes with them, and I'll order my new cans to have a proper comparison.

Obviously, if the comparison between the Sony and A.N Other is not that impressive then I can keep the Sony's... but I expect to hear a difference as the Sony set are made for a specific purpose i.e. noise cancelling.

The Sony cans are very comfortable and the build quality is excellent, which is another comparison I want to make.

First impressions are that the FiiO E10K isn't much different from the Rampage V Extreme on board sound, should it be? Possibly the headphones not doing it justice?

I've ordered the K702's so will get a good comparison of everything when they arrive.

There probably wouldn't be a huge difference with the Sonys as they are very easy to drive - the K702s are a different matter.

K702's have arrived, and I can see right away what you mean. The amp is definitely making a difference.

How can I squeeze the extra bass out the headphones?
