[/FONT]I need headphone (without microphone) for late night gaming/movie watching & thinking of buying SENNHEISER HD201 or HD202. But I’m not aware of other models .
My requirements are clear sound reproduction at all frequencies so I can hear all dialogs during gaming & comfortable for 2-3 of continuous use, loudness is irrelevant.
Maximum budget Rs 3000.

PX 200 is good for portable use but I want to buy headphone with large ear pads for maximum comfort

for real big ear cups check philips headsets or sony headsets.
Sony XD300 is in your budget range and same is philips SHP8900 (both being exactly near 3K)
I prefer philips over sony

In lower budget there is philips SHP2700 and sony XD200 both are in 1400-1500 range.

Havent seen as big earcups as philips ones they can cover very big ears also pretty easily. I have SHP2500

but if you think of earphones or not big earcups then senheisers are also very good.
HD201 and HD202 are comfortable

I've heard hd201 sennheiser are good,
but do they have microphone???????????
If yes then they are good choice for <1300 on theitdepot.com
If they don't then are there any good headphones with detachable mic and good for both gaming and music.
Are detachable mic available seperately for headphones???????????
