Author Topic: Suggest me good sub 40 dollar headphones  (Read 1983 times)

/title

My current stuff headphones are going out and soon I'll be getting new ones. My absolute max budget is going to be 40 dollars, and do not count mail-in rebates please at all.

What I want

- Over-ear style that surrounds the ear instead of pressing on the ear (aka large ear cups)
- Must have a majority black color scheme
- Mic is optional but I'd like one, if there is one I'd like the quality to be use-able but not total garbage
- Reputable brand
- Must be wired and a good wire durability
- if possible, leather padding, if not, then a soft mesh material is fine
- I'm only willing to buy from Amazon, Best Buy or Newegg, no used or anything.

thx

can't remember the name of the exact one i have but it's a turtle beach that i grabbed for 30 bucks and ive had it for years

eh I'm kinda iffy on turtle beach due to mic quality and I don't need these for a console but if suggested enough I'll probs get them

I use this at my computer, I haven't got the mic to work, so I use a webcam for a mic.  The sound quality is good in my opinion.

i have these and they're pretty loving good
there's a few youtube videos out there that describe them as worth much more than they're going for i think
they're on amazon as well i think but i cant find the link

Again I don't have a gaming console, so please suggest me headsets made for PC. The mic isn't working due to the fact the MIC is made to work on a combo jack, which most computers don't have.

Thx tho

Due to this not having a brand name makes this kinda sketchy, especially to find a place to buy them. How long have you had them?

the brand name is monoprice lol

here is the amazon link to the model i bought
amazon says i bought them around august 2016 and i've had them since then, dropped them several times, and have had them shaking around in my bag almost every day at school
no noticeable degrade in quality

Those look promising, even with no mic but I can buy an external one for cheap.

I'll keep this in mind

i only got these because the foam cushions on my old headphones were pretty much disintegrating ok
but these are p good, idk

my ~$40 pair lasted me maybe a year or two then fell apart
if you want something that can take a beating and isn't horrible quality get HyperX, I forget what model I have but they're made of aluminum and stuff with a braided cord and I have so far failed to destroy them
mine were $60 IIRC but you can get cheaper

I'm really hard on headphones apparently, not intentionally but still I am

What I want

- Over-ear style that surrounds the ear instead of pressing on the ear (aka large ear cups)
Those cups are small as forget, I highly dislike that style of ear cup


logitech g430
I've heard about this headset and I'll consider it

If you have them, how good is the sound quality? Is it bassy, more tinny or more neutral? Does the mic sound fine or is it kinda garabe

i would say hyperx stinger but thats $10 more than the price you want
i do admit tho the monoprice headphones look pretty good

Those cups are small as forget, I highly dislike that style of ear cup
well idk if you have ears the size of dumbo the forgetn elephant k?
