Thread Starter 
Hello, i want to buy a headphone/headset and:
1: Maximum budget 130$
2:music (dubstep+DnB+Trance+House+Glitch+Bass)
3:Supreme for gaming
4: i want to use it essetiely for gaming 70% and listening to music 30%, at home plugged in my computer(which is built soly for gaming),dont care if it has a system that can isolate me from outside given that our home and neighbor is quiet.
5: i live in a place where it can get as hot as hell in summer (i am talking about 40+ celius degree), so i would prefer them not to make my ears very hot and i want to be VERY VERY CONFORTABLE, given that i game or listen to music for more than 4 hours straight ( 4h minim and 6 hours max)
oh, and i dont know what amplifyer mean and i do not have enough money to buy it anyway!

Thanks for the help!

Ultrasone Pro 550. Dish out the extra 20 bucks or so for them. If not, find them used.

Best headphones I've ever had. The bass hits solid. They're made by Sennheiser so you're getting a great product and these are reference so whatever the audio that get's sent to them is what you hear, no other bullcrap in the sound.

I paid 120 for mine, totally worth it.

I bought them for video games and for music I listen to metal/classical/and techno. They shine in all of them.

Considering his 70% gaming requirement that's a terrible recommendation. If you want to go cheaper the ultrasone Pro 580s or the Samson SR850s are what you're going to get if you won't spend the extra 20.

I haven't actually tried these for gaming, but the Audio Technica m-50 might be a good choice, especially, for music listening. They're about $116 on Amazon right now, which is the lowest I've seen in a couple of years. The m50s are also known for their bass and the soundstage would probably be good for gaming. They're built very sturdy and they're over the ear, full sized headphones for better noise isolation. With an impedance of 38ohms they shouldn't be hard to drive at all so no amplifier would be needed. I'm not sure if they'd make your ears hot at all, but my friend can listen to music with them for hours. It can get pretty hot where I live as well. Hope that helped!
