Time for new headset/headphones

Hello wonderful people of planet earth!

It's a sad day for me, my Razer Carcharias has died image: face-sad so now I am looking for a new headset OR headphones (as I don't mind using a desk microphone) to replace them.

What I want is detachable cable, got sick of how many headphones I have destroyed by stepping on the wire and ending up with wireless headphones. Won't spend more than 80 euros on those.
Hoping for some suggestions from you, have a nice day.

I have dropped mine, stepped on the cable, got it tangled between the wheels of my chair, and mine is still going strong. It's really very solid stuff
Parent
I think he's referring to the Siberia's.
Parent
I think you're right
Parent
I was referring to the Siberia, yes :)

Beats by Dr. Dre

Seems like you never had them or you haven't listen music with them, they are good for listening to music. But bad for gaming. You should try them out one day and you will agree with me then.
Parent
They're utter shit. Overpriced like WHAT THE FUCK and the frequency span can't even justify that. You're just paying for the brand name, nothing more. There are so much better headphones to listen music with...even the Sony's are so much better. Got them myself and they're like only 80€, but so much better regarding sound quality. Even Sennheiser's, which are more etablished in the scene, make better sounding high quality headphone, and here's the funny party: even SENNHEISER is cheaper.

Edit: BUT, design-wise they are not comparable to anything else. They really look cool, but nothing more.
Parent
Everyone has their taste, I like how my beats sound and i'm happy with them. I'm happy with sound quality and build quality. They look awesome ( You mostly buy stuff which look awesome ) And i can't agree with you cause tried sennheiser and sony's before beats and i was dispointed of build quality ) I have PC350 for gaming which are good for gaming but bad for music And you really can't say to someone if something is bad or not it really comes up with everyone's music taste and so on )
Parent
Good point, but for me as a musician they don't really have any worth regarding sound quality. :) There are the Beats Studios and the DJ version (which I don't know the name of), but they are really not suitable for any music production or mixing, because the bass is way too heavy and the frequencies are not balanced out well.
I use the AKG K 271 Mk II for mixing and recording, for when I'm going out, and need to listen through some mixes I got on my phone, I use the Sony MDR-V55. They are quite good for listening to music and got a frequency span of 5 Hz - 25 000 Hz which is very very good for 77€. You don't get that much quality for such a low price very often.

No hate to you, I just hope you got my point aswell. I hope you'll still have fun with your Beats for some time to come! ;)
Parent
I get your point and i will have fun with my beats :)
Parent
Those headphones are good as fancy necklace at best, to display how one really "cares" what he/she listens to...
Parent
They are decent for music. If you haven't tried them out then keep your mouth shut. Cause they are good

Go buy fucking fake beats by dre and then you can say they are SHIT but the real deal is good for music.
Parent
Yes, I tried them, and no, they are not something I would use for regular listening. They are okish, but for that money you can find many headphones that will outperform them in virtually everything (or you can have something similar for much less). However, people who use them are listening mostly to some low quality music (modern pop, hip-hop, rap, dubstep), from phones in some funny 192kbps MP3 rips, so obviously they are not going to care how they really sound. It's just about boomy bass, that's what they are good for, nothing else.
Parent
All my songs have been downloaded from iTunes and i don't really care if you can get something for same money or less. I like them and that's the whole point of it. I found them good and it's up to everyone's taste.
Tell me why almost 70% of DJs use Beats By Dre Studio for editing their songs and mixing? They must be good at something or i'm wrong?
Parent
"Downloaded from iTunes", "almost 70% of DJs", "i don't really care if you can get something..." -> that pretty much supports what I said, marketing driven consumerism at its best. You like them, good for you, at least you are happy with them, I am not going to argue about that. I didn't say they are absolutely terribad either, they certainly have their qualities that appeal to many ppl (regular consumers, that don't really dig into sound as long as they can catch their beat or favourite melody). But, I am living in audiophile world, where people care what they are hearing, and listen to vast variety of music. In my world, Beats are just overpriced unbalanced hype-driven "garbage". In my world, they are good for hearing music, not for listening to it.
All in all, as long as something fits you, it is obviously good thing for you. That being said, it doesn't mean that thing is generaly good. And just because I don't like them doesn't mean they cannot be good for someone, quite frankly, when someone goes from $5 apple buds to Beats by Dre, they will obviously like them. But going from $140 headphones to Beats Studio, for many ppl it's just huge disappointment.
Parent
went from 150€ headphones to beats and still like them :)
Parent
As I said, lucky you that you demand so little from headphones
Parent
like i said it's up for taste. Have tried alot of headphones for music price arrange from 50-300 and i'm happy with my beats. So move on now.
