Headphones suggestion for 5K

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/headphones-suggestion-for-5k.158318/

I'm looking for an upgrade to my existing Audio Technica ATH T500.
My usage would be in this priority Movies>>Gaming>>Music.

A lot of headphones are going through my mind which is confusing me a lot. Also I'll be using it mostly with my laptop, so what do you suggest.

Should I go for usb gaming headphones with soundcards or a stand alone headphones or a Headphones+portable amp for my budget and for my usage pattern.

If the setup is worth it, I can extend the budget by a k or 2.

Errr?

Your query has been well responded to on TE. +1 to faheem's response.

so, noone can give any quality response? try Shure SRH 240. Shure makes really good audio equipment

Denon D1100 or Audio Technica M50(if its still in stock).

Actually I almost finalized Audio Technica AD700, most probably will buy something this week. Will update the thread either ways

Audio Technica is a good one, you may also check Beyer dynamics but little bit expensive . .

AD 700 are good for gaming and music, but being open they do not provide any isolation (both ways).

So if you are not looking for isolation, then ad700 is a pretty good choice. And it doesn't require any amp too.
