Hello. I need good headphones solely for the cause of playing CS 1.6, Dota2 and TF2. I will use it for listening music on my phone too. I don't like Bass much; neither I like too much of troubles. But it should be enough, not excess of anything.

Also, the build quality should be awesome. I am thinking of keeping it atleast for an year or so. I will preferably get it online; but I can also get it at shops cuz my father is also a dealer. I just want your suggestions.

The budget is 800-1000. Please suggest some good ones.

TY in advance.

@Chaitanya I need an over ear headphones. I just hate the in ear ones. They cause a lotta pain and If by chance my father will see me wearing those, he will badly scold me. He thinks that in ear ones cause deafness.

@mudit Don't you think they are over my budget? I can't extend it cuz I'm having 2200 Rs. in total; in which I will have to get a mouse, a mousepad and a headphone. But, if HD 180 sounds so nice, then I will surely save and get the one.

Dude i think that no one changes the headphone daily and if u willbuy this one then it will be best for a long time and sennheiser is just awesome .... If anyone hears the name of sennheiser then it doesnt matters to him that it is of higher model or a lower one ... Its name is enough so according to me just go for it

And also check out the reviews on the link provided by me

Philips SHP2500 is much better than HD180. Period.
