Good set of headphones??

[IamDavid]

I need a set for my laptop. They don't need to be no $300 set.. Any suggestions?

Do you know if you want open of closed?

What's your real budget then?

Budget open = Senn HD497

Budget close = Senn HD280

Pull the trigger on HD580s or 590s. Don't mess around. I own a pair of 580s and a pair of 650s, I use both depending on my mood.

If you are willing to do a bit of reading, take a look at the reviews by people who know audio-

I vote for the HD-280 pros. I recently got the HD-465 but they are open and havent been fully "burned in" yet so I dont really recommend them yet. They sound great and are very comfy but at high volumes they tend to clip.

But there is a difference between them and the 495s.

If you want a microphone... Sennheiser PC-150 or higher. If not, get something in the HD series as stated above. Sennheiser = :thumbsup:
