hi guys i am planning to buy a gaming headphones.

My budget is 1-2k . I can stretch it some 500bucks more.

I will be mainly using this for my cs 1.6 game and music.

If it has also mic it will be good.

I am presently using Sony MDR-XD100 but thr ear pads are in bad state.

you can try Sennheiser HD201 Game(something like that)!
Or Soundmagic PL11/PL30 In-Ear Earphone!

if you want mic, then also look for steelseries 3h :)

overall sennheiser hd 201 will be good, you can also get a separate mic.

IEMs may not be that comfortable for gaming purposes (personal view)

Nothing can beat Sennheiser PX-100 - if you can find them (I had last seen them in PlanetM).

If you prefer light weight ear phones over head phones, I'd suggest Creative EP-630... Cheap but good quality... Some 1200 bucks maybe... I am super satisfied with them
