Headset

[Jonnygrunge]

Hi all! Looking for a decent set of gaming headphones, to pair with my Sound Blaster Z. Can someone advise me please? Gaming and for music, budget up to £80. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, save your money and get the DT770. You can pick them up anywhere from £100-£130. £80 and under you are looking at narrow sound-stages with hints of grain or dryness. Best I've heard for gaming and music are the HM5.

The 770 are versatile in he sense hey can do any genre but also be able to do gaming and do it better then most! Also to top It all off these are these are the most durable headphones ever! I've sat on them, thrown them drop them in water these things are beasts!
If you look at V-Modas durability claims even the M100 doesn't sack up to the 770. Save up enjoy.

80 OHM or 250 OHM which ones.

Sorry to hi-jack.

Either. get what one you can drive. Both are similar in sensitivity, so it won't take a lot to get either going.
