I have a friend who is looking for a pair of computer headphones. Anyone know what are the best for under $400?

Take a look at http://www.dansdata.com , he's been reviewing several headphones, although most are cheaper than 400$

$400?!?!?!?! I won't pay $400 for a PC!! much less a pair of headphones for it. LOL

That's exactly why Talon isn't playing any MMO's.

/threadjack in progress put your hands up!

So, speaking of computers...I'm kind of torn between upgrading my existing comp or buying a new one (i won't build completely from scratch because i'm lazy). However, given that most of what I need to upgrade puts me 70% there...anyways. It looks like i could upgrade my mobo, power supply (need to something about the new mobo's require 24 pin power supplies and the older ones were 20 pin or something), and cpu for $1100 (K8N Deluxe mobo, FX-55 CPU)...i can't go PCI-E because my new vid card is AGP. Rather than spend big bucks for a new comp now...putting off getting the 2nd comp for another year or so.

Anyone having similar thoughts? Or, know of advances coming that I should wait for such as an intel based SLi configuration coming out,etc?

Danyale uses a $200 set of headphones for work. She used them with her phone but I think they can work with PC as well. They are very nice, but I don’t know the name.


6 months ago I tried several headphones out. I started with the most expensive ones I could find, then returned pair after pair until I found the ones I liked the most. The ended up being the $15-$20 set by Logitech with the interchangeable colored plates.

At my recommendation, you forgot to add.

He has the Klipsch Ultras but he's getting an apartment while he's in college. He cant have a system like that with somone living that close. So he wants a good pair of headphones that sound good to use in his apartment.

alright...alright...i give up peacefully.

I am not sure. When I buy a PC they tend to cost me at least $3,000. Not many of us have that much lying around the house... so I usually have to upgrade RAM or Graphics card based on the problems I am having.

Danyale was having choppy game play in WoW cities, and her viewing distance was turned down low so she was missing a lot of the great scenery. Last week I bought her 512MB RAM and now she has almost no choppy play in cities, and her viewing distance is set to the max so that she can see everything. Her game is absolutely beautiful now. I think it cost me under $100.

I don’t know of any advances coming soon, so I don’t know what you need to do. Me, I buy new when basic upgrades are no longer helpful.
