Headphone Hunting

Hey guys, looking for good headphones to order with my laptop, im donw ot these three:

Alienware® Ozma 5™ Headphones

Sennheiser PC150 Multimedia Headset

Logitech® Digital Precision PC Gaming Headset

Is the Ozma worth it? Do the other headphones have surround sound? Cant find any good info or reviews

 

Yes any half decent headphones nowadays will have surround sound ......you looking for one with a mic as well? or are you just looking for a pair of headphones instead of speakers?

 

Well, i guess irealy have no use for a mic yet, the only person ill prob play online with ever is my bro in law, but he prob wont hava mic so that woodnt work haha. I gues if the 150s have surround sound ill go wiht it, i dont mind the mic. I found horrible reviews for the logitech. Im currently loking to see ifthe 150s have surround sound, if anyone knows lemme nknow, thanks.

If the only reason for the mic is phone type talk, then i definitely dont need it.

 

what about some in ear ear-phones??? Should be lighter.....whats your budget?

 

The PC-150's don't have surround sound, but any decent sound card can emulate surround sound through headphones.

The sound quality on the 150's is far superior to any sub-$100 headphones I've ever used. I've had mine for almost 2 years now, and they're awesome. The sound quality on the mic is also phenomenal.

 

Well, i definitely dont want to spend over 100, but i wanted to order the headphones with the laptop, and the choices are the ozma 5 or the senheimer, i was hoping for the surround sound, but the card the that laptop comes with is a surround sound card, and im guessing alienware cards are more than decent.

 

woah! alienware From your 2 choices i would pick the Sennheiser.

 

I'll recommend the PC-150 as well.

 

Is there a reason why they are better than the alienware headphones? Also,will the mic be an annoyance if im not using it and its jus tthere?

 

Grado SR-60 > *
for music, of course. Toss on a Zalman clip-on mic and you're golden.

I've heard good things about the Icemat Siberia headsets as well.

 

if you don't need a mic and don't mind open air headphones, I would highly recommend these.

These are so comfortable, I hardly noticed them at all. The sound quality is all around great and it looks good. But it is a big headphone.

BTW I also have the 165, which is virtually the same as the 150. Eh, it took me awhile to get used to it, it would hurt my ears if i used them for an extended period of time. I am thinking of going back to my big cans and just getting a decent clip on mic, i miss the comfort and sound quality.

 

Thanks ill chekc those out, though im using them only for gaming, no music.

 

Actually if im goign to spend 100 itll prob be on the ozmas, otherwise ill have to get the cheaper ones till i refill my funds. Anyone know why the alienwares are not recommended?
Johnny T im stil lwondering about the "woah! alienware " comment haha, didnt get the message.

 

Alienware as in your notebook since i dont know many people who owns them but that just me

why not have a look at these 2 as well???

I own a pair of the ultimate ears ones.....love them

 

yeah i also like the sennheiser they are pretty good. Currently I am using the Shure SE420 and they are awesome.

 

shure se420 are nice

 

Yeah, te se420s are definitely not happening. I think for now im going to end up with the sennheisers, maybe in the future ill end up with the other ones, im not a big fan of earphones though.

 

Logitech has surround sound? because most of the time i get fragged coz i cant figure out where the enemy is coming from....my head phones have two channels....i broke my creative headphones so i also planning to invest in good quality headhphones..

Can u suggest me a decent model??

 

You might want to take a look at this guy.

All the reviews I've read are really positive towards this headset. I was actually considering buying an X-52, however I would need to buy the Creative expresscard X-fi sound card to take full advantage of the true 5.1 sound, and I can't afford that lol

The nice thing about the X-52 headset is that it's really four speakers in each earpiece, so you get true surround sound... not any of that "virtual" surround sound stuff that just manipulates the sound from only a stereo headset.

For attifarooqi, I HIGHLY recommend Sennheiser as a brand. I have a pair of EH-150's and they are PHENOMENAL... especially for the low price I paid on Newegg (~$30 shipped). If you really want, you can pay the extra money for the 'Bose' or the 'Shure' name, but Sennheiser really delivers the same quality for much less.
