Hello Forum! This is my first post here. I've been following TekSyndicate in YouTube for a while now but decided to do an account as well.
I want to purchase a nice pair of headphones and to be on a semi-tight budget. It's true that you get what you pay for in many cases but anything other than my $20 Sony earbuds will be a huge upgrade.
The things I want to do with those headphones:
-Listen to music (on pc): I listen to a lot of stuff, ranging from thrash-metal to some electronic or trip-hop (depending on the mood). I am now missing on some serious bass so I'm leaning toward that direction but I wouldn't like if the headphones missed on those mids and highs.
-Game with friends (on pc): I game with friends every now and then and I will use my headphones for that. I have watched Tek's video about those $50 and $150 guides where they recommend open-back headphones for gaming, but I don't think that would be of such importance in my case. Just the casual stuff. I find it more important to not let others hear what I hear.
- Listen to music (portable device): Here goes what goes for no.1 but with the consideration that an amplifier will not be an option and that I tend to listen a bit on the high-side as far as decibels go.
Other things to keep in mind:
-Glasses: I do have the "birth-defect" of bad eyesight and I am always wearing glasses. My sunglasses especially (but also my normal ones) are a bit "hipsterish" and not very subtle. They have plastic frame and so on. Like these for example. My normal glasses are more subtle but still not like metal-framed ones.
-Budget: As far as budget goes I would like to keep it under $80. Something like the Sennheiser HD449 would be exhausting that budget (well, more or less).
That is for now guys. I hope I am easy to understand (as English is not my native language) and I have given you a fairly good idea of what I would like to do.
Thank you
