Supervise Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 So my Sony MDR7506s just broke (right driver quit working) and I'm looking for a new pair of headphones. What I Need:- Over-ear - Wired - Under $100 (unless I can get a huge boost in quality for a tad more) - Removable or uncoiled cord - Closed back Currently Looking At: - Sennheiser HD 280 Pro - Status Audio CB-1 - Bose SoundTrue II - Audio-Technica ATH-M40x - Samson Z25 - Sennheiser HD 598 Cs Any recommendations or favourites amongst those (currently) 6 pairs of headphones? I'm thinking about going for the Sennheiser HD 598 Cs, or Bose SoundTrue II at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S T E W Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Get some razer kraken pro neons. I've had mine for almost 2 years, and the surround on them is amazing. Of course, sennheiser/bose makes the best headsets, but they are way more expensive McBro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpotlightR Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm here to champion the Sennheiser 598s, I used a pair for ~2 months and they sound super crisp with great highs and a good amount of bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't afford those and don't really want open backed headphones, but apparently the 598 and 598 Cs are similar. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib3l Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Used a cheap pair of Sennheiser myself and even though they're much worse than anything you have listed they are still pretty darn good. Good brand, would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Change Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I personally use monoprice. You can find them cheaper here. Noise cancellation is fairly good, only issue I've had with them in ~9 months is the inner leather tearing which I honestly didn't even notice until recently, and I'm getting repaired under warranty soon I just have to send them in. Edit: Coords are removable and it comes with a nice set of coords for various purposes. Explosion-chan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I came here to recommend the ATH M40's, but you already have that on your list. Just get them. Great headphones, really. Anhor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anhor Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I'd stay away from Bose. They are the Beats of "higher quality". Good performance, really bad prices. You're paying big time for the name. Think from what you listed it's most likely either the Sennheiser's or the ATHs. I personally like the ATH M50x a lot and that's also usually what people recommend when asked what the best mid tier headphone is. They are a bit more pricey. Not sure how they compare to the ATH m40x though. Might be worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervise Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Did more research into all of the headphones I had listed and chose the Sennheiser HD 598 Cs, they sound pretty good. I hadn't done much research into them all before, but the Sennheisers seemed the best to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosion-chan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Late, but try KSC-75 as well. Ridiculous levels of cheap for pretty good sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
