Good around ears for up to $50?

[yannifb]

Im looking for some nice headphones with decent bass and good sound quality for up to about $50, 60 if its worth it. Ive tried Beats and I actually liked the sound quality, but since there from Monster im assuming they are massively over priced. So are there any headphones from sensible brands that can compete with Beats in my price range?

What you are saying makes no sense whatsoever...

And since what you said isn't relevant to what we are talking about, I thought I might show you this:

^But that doesn't even matter...

And What on earth are you talking about, only somebody like you wouldn't know that USB is a connection interface, not a sound signal. Its a Universal connection that is multi-purpose.

Your frustrations are getting in the way of your knowledge, stop valiantly defending your stupid points, because you don't make sense. What a FAIL.

..Where to begin.
You linked a device that plug into a USB port and allows you to use extra stereo/microphone jacks. How does that "convert" a USB headset into a 3.5mm jack? It doesn't.It's COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC. Dunce...

ME:

]the USB signal is NOT SOUND, it's an interface between the headset and the motherboard.

YOU:

only somebody like you wouldn't know that USB is a connection interface, not a sound signal.

Again.. READ
It's good for you.


You're the one who suggested converting a digital USB signal into an analog sound signal.

Jesus Christ you can't get ANYTHING through you're skull. This entire conversation you've been an idiot, a hypocrite, ignorant, and nonsensible.

Tell me, how does this make sense?

1. I say that you can't use a USB headset through a sound card.
2. You say that you can use a "USB to 3.5mm" adapter.
3. I tell you that you can't convert a digital sound processor into an audio signal
4. You call me an idiot for thinking that a USB signal is audio (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU IMPLIED)



I've reached the ultimate conundrum. How do you convince an idiot that he's an idiot?
You've completely switched around your own words and put them in my mouth. I can't even begin to understand the messed up things going on in your head. Luckily, anyone with half a mind will see through reading this "conversation" that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Okay Okay...
Originally, I just intended to nicely tell you to be more specific as your first post was quite vague about what you meant. After that when you blew things out of proportion and turned it into something it isn't, I've just kinda messing and playing devils advocate with you, and I think I did a pretty good job. It was fun. Are we done? .

Oh so basically it's the "LOL I WAS JUST TROLLIN" exit?
You finally realize that you've said so much wrong you can't escape your own mountain of BS, so now you're pretending you didn't mean any of it all along.
Yeah, we're done, glad you decided to end your campaign of ignorance.
A little selfish to 'mess around' and 'play devil's advocate' when your posts influence the buying decisions of the OP and others. Personally, I always thought these forums were for genuine advice and help. Forgot this was just SomethingAwful or 4chan.

Bye bye.

 

[blackhawk1928]

The OP hasn't been following this thread. And you've also been trolling. haha

..No I haven't. Trolling is acting naive to gain a reaction. Every I've said has been 100% serious in the intent of contributing to readers. I wholeheartedly believe in helping people on these forums make the best, most informed purchasing decisions. I find it completely inappropriate to "troll". If the OP was following, he could have been spent his own well earned money buying something terrible because of your little joke.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[MEgamer]

so whos the fool, blackhawk xD... i knew klbg was right all along... he werent trolling for crap...

a mod should close this thread... it is indeed finished.

 

[blackhawk1928]

^Megamer, stay outta this xD
You must admit you were entertained. Egging all along, truthfully, you were the troller egging us no the entire time.

 

[klbg]

Very funny. We both know you weren't "trolling". You were just stupid. Now go away.

The fact that you think 2 drivers 1/2'' from a man ear can simulate directional hearing as well as physical drivers can show you are well...pretty damn stupid yourself young man. Even serious surround bars made by companies like polk audio have multiple drivers in the bar to simulate sound at different rates so you perceive it coming from different directions when PLAYING movies that support it. An fps game with settings for 5.1 directs its sound at 5 drivers and 1 sub woofer, if you knew how a driver works, turning electrical pulses into a sound, you'd realize through your stupid little skull that it 2 drivers cannot produce sounds at the way to even be close to simulate surround or any sort of directional positioning that is at a useful level to a gamer. Perhaps some stereo system can do this reasonably but sound travels fast and to simulate surround you must have at least some acoustics and distance, if the source is 1/2'' from your ear drum there will be latency or deflection for perceived surround. For most people, the effectiveness of virtual surround is more of a physiological thing rather then something that actually makes you feel like you are there.

Edit: Unless of course the headset has some mechanism of deflection for the sound which I'm hoping there are. However I don't use a headset so I really have no clue about this topic anyway, my forte. You know more about it then I do, i'll admit. I do know a lot about physical surround from speakers though so don't even try.

Oh.. my.. GOD.

You already tried to back out by saying you were trolling. You've said enough to permanently damage your credibility when it comes to sound processing. Just cry somewhere else and GO AWAY. I don't care that I hurt your ego, you shouldn't have come to a forum to give advice about something you know nothing about.
Please, mods, lock this thread.

^Well that just goes to say what I said is out of your league of knowledge, no response to that, classic .

You are the one angry and crying . Little girl.

 

[MEgamer]

blackhawk, you were the one that was supporting in for the surround sound headphone arguemnt, but now u are ... wait u are now supporing KLBGs argument on how surround sound headests are bad.

by the way, polk isnt very gd... if i were to buy any surround bars from any company, itd be probably yamha, due to many models of it being made by 'em, even samsung would do for me.. but not polk...

surround sound usuallly isnt due to differnece, ifi put my back rear speakers exaclty the same distnace away from my ear as the front speakers, i can still get the surround sound effect,... why is that.... that is because we have 2 ears that are at a distance to each other... and no matter which speaker is playing, both of our ears will be able to hear it, and because out ears are at differnet distnace from the source, we get a time delay, between the two, this is how directionality works.... this is how we know something is coming from the top, bottom, side, out of your arse, in your head... what ever..

however in headphones, even if they found the perfect enclosure to hold multiple drivers at perfect angle, u cant get surround sound, because the left hear wont hear anytihg when the right side of the headphone is playing... this is why we need to some form of technology, that can utulize and get this "surround sound" effect. whether its receiving analogue or digital signals,

this is why u dont see multiple driver headphone anymore... cos its pretty much pointless, no ones going to come up with a technology that will make SURROUND SOUND effects, with a SURROUND SOUND headphones(see the irony?) .. cos it can be done easier on STEREO.

You want me to answer you on that? Direction is processed by the outer ear (pinna), so drivers 1" from the ear don't work. Stereo surround works beautifully because it's simply an algorithm developed to space out the sounds already present in stereo, and give the illusion "depth" with delays. You've proven you have NO idea how sound works (LOL CONVERT USB 2 3.5MM), and you've already admitted to trolling. Your "points" are not worthy of a response, you hypocritical moron. GO AWAY.
