[Urgent] Headphones for 5-7k

I'm getting a new pair of headphones for my birthday. The budget is 5-7k. Please do suggest wireless headphones as well. I'm open to buying from both Nehru Place and online. I'll be buying them this week so please suggest. I hope the details are sufficient since i'm a total noob in audio

.

How is the TDK WR700? It got a worthy mention in the digit zero1 awards.

Ath-m50

Grado series one?

Sadly both of the above are awesome headphones but currently out of stock locally

. Even i was thinking of going for one.

Most of the elite products are hard to find locally in India, especially audio products. Better buy online. You'll get decent pricing also.

@OP- You have an array of options like M35, AD700, grados (don't know the exact model)

@Krow- Do you know where Grados ar available online?

@Dashing.sujay
I was referring to India when i meant locally

, for me getting even skullcandy locally(in my state) is a PITA

.

Grados AFAIK are available only with pristine note with 1 year dealer warranty in India , same goes with the M50.
Currently i think only the MS1i from the alessandro's are available.

Yes, Pristine Note is the place to go for Grados. Send them a mail (info at pristinenote).

any idea how they compare to TDK WR700? Also are they wireless?

please mention ur preferred genre,it'd be easy to recommend

^^Genre
Sorry i'm total noob in audio. Do you mean what I listen to? In that case i'm mostly going to use it for games only. I need one that can be used for at least 3 years (looking for good warranty) without any problems. Preferably wireless.

^AD700 then ftw.

np for games only look for skull candy,roccat kave 5.1 gaming headset

Why are you people suggesting open cans for gaming ?

AFAIK open cans are better suited for gaming as they provide a better soundstage.

Anything available in wireless? Otherwise will go for ad700 or roccat kave 5.1 (roccat looks cooler).

Speak to Tenida about the Roccat Kave 5.1
They are amazingly good Ive heard, even without a dedicated soundcard

But they leak sound like anything!!
What about parents!!

OP, go for open headphones. It does have a better sound stage than closed phones. I am not sure if you have experienced it. But from my own experience, there is no way I will go back to closed headphones after using open headphones for all this time.
I have been using Alessandro Grado MS 1, but I wont recommend it to you as I feel that it does not have a large sound stage.

man where do I get to know all this audio terms you guys keep talking about like: soundstage; recessed mid bass; sparkle? xD

Buy this one eyes closed > Newegg.com - Creative Labs GH0100 Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Wireless Headset

This one is for u if it is available in Nehru place or any indian online shop

Sorry for reviving this thread but couldn't help it. I couldn't find roccat kave anywhere online. The only online store that might have it is mediahome.in but their website's been down for maintainence for over 2 months -.-

Also I read the comments over here : Roccat Gaming Gear: The Pros and Cons : Roccat Finally Coming to North America and i don't think i'll be buying the kave now even if i found it.

So people please suggest alternative models especially those that are available online.

My current options:
Audio Technicia ad700
Grado Sr60i
