Edifier is better than Logitech & Creative... and many times better than F&D or Audionic. Ek baar rolo as mehnga. Not baar baar sasta.

As a matter of fact i m also looking for Speakers for our LED TV.... i have some creative 2.1 speakers but they dont sound good (clearity is the main problem)

These are available in Pakistan. The last link I posted is for a Pakistani website selling it for Rs.1500. I have bought multiple items from that site and their products are genuine.

I haven't tested them myself. My order for Rock Zircon hasn't arrived from Aliexpress yet. You should go through the first link I posted to read impressions of different people about these.

aoa normad,

needed some help , you advised me to buy rock zircon some time ago and i went for them , but recently the got washed off and aren't performing the same as before *sigh*. So i wanted to ask if you know any other site from where i can buy them or if you can recommend me any other headphones that are better than these or if you can recommend any other site where i can buy them ?

Headphones for 3k

Yeah looking for options for 3k or under.

I dont care about warranty.
As long as they're durable.
and Sound BETTER than the cheap ones.



Thinking of those used steelseries v2's but idk how good they are.

Advices please.

Extremely sorry for such a delayed reply :$
I'm afraid only option to buy Rock Zircon right now is through Ali Express. You can find them for around $10 with free shipment but they might take some time (10 to 50 days) to get here.

If you decide to buy from Ali Express then KZ ED9 is also a popular option in similar price range.

Sound quality wise Siberia v2 are good, particularly for price around 2k. But they aren't very durable. Although most of the times the problem is with their volume knob and you can repair them by soldering the wires together directly by removing the volume knob.

If you can import from Ali Express then you can buy Superlux HD668b for around $30-$35 with free shipment. If you want to buy locally and want new then Edifier H850 for 3.5k-4k is a good option in my opinion.

Anyone Using Corsair Raptor HS30 headsets ? hows the mic quality ? and any other best headphones in range of 4.5k-5k max ? mic and sound quality should be good as the main purpose is online gaming.

The design is comfortable, light weight and the cups are so soft that they dont even put pressure on your ear at all.

as for the sound.
I dont know how to feel about it.
It certainly sounds better than the cheaper headphones
and its only 16bit.

Aaand as for the light bass, it doesnt even exist.
Its more focused towards gaming.

7.1 is simulated so its like every other cheap headsets says it.
And it doesnt sound good because the quality drops compared to gaming mode.
for music, the 2.0 is simply a perfect thing. (No bass vibration though)

[MENTION=2290]Nomad[/MENTION], any suggestions in the 3-5k range? I'm coming from a Plantronics Gamecom 367. They were also bought used here at PG (so they could have been refurbished). I love these but they finally broke.

I want something much better (hopefully).

Right now I'm considering Siberia V2 but wohi baat.. these might be refurbished with non-original drivers so I'm hesitant.

 

[zeeshanmn]

Anyone here who can lend me an external headphone amp (portable or not) for a day? Or at least just let me check my DT 770 on them. This is the second time I've come across presumably broken piece of the same model I'm using my DT 770 off my Sound Blaster Z's amp but they crackle at high volume (bass, explosion sounds etc). These cans are brand new. I was facing the same issue in my previous purchase so I got them replaced but the issue still persists.

I even used another sound card just to be sure and still facing the same problem

 

[GrunT]

So I've a Sony MDR 100 and the cable it comes with is very short which makes it uncomfortable for me to use it with my computer.
Can anyone link me to a high quality audio cable ? or maybe a DAC if it comes with a long cable, both work for me.

The length needs to be at least 2 meters.

Sorry for such a late reply. If you want headset then the best option in my opinion is to get Kingston HyperX Cloud Core from AliExpress for around $50.

If you want headphones then Superlux HD681 Evo is a good option for around $41. Superlux HD668b is also excellent for gaming and is even cheaper for around $30.

If you want to buy locally and new only then Edifier H850 is very good in my opinion and is available for around 4k. Although I haven't used it for gaming so can't comment on its gaming performance. And it requires a bit more power than other headphones I mentioned. I have to turn volume up a bit up when using H850 to get similar sound volume as other headphones.

About the Siberia v2 (used), don't buy it online and buy it in person only. Currently Hafeez center is full of Siberia headphones which have changed pads, wires and maybe drivers as well. Check the headphone in person to see if you can spot some repairs and play some music from your phone to see if you like quality and volume level of both sides is same. If you like the sound quality then why would it matter if it has changed drivers

That is really strange and sad to hear. If you were in Lahore you could have used my Fiio E10k to check them.

You would buy a DAC only to get a long cable?

Steelseries Siberia and 7h/5h extension cables are available for around Rs.300. They are of good quality and probably the cheapest way to extend cable length with a quality cable. Although you would need an audio splitter as well to use your headphones with your PC (for microphone)

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I've also come across the JVC RX700 on BHP and Amazon. Cost is 35$. I've seen people fawning over these. What do you say?

Also, would I need an amp with an Exynos Note 4? And a Maximus VI Hero motherboard?

Yeap, all cheap extension cables are horrible so might as well.

Where can I find those ? Don't need to use the microphone.

 

[pindiboy]

I want to buy headphone for my smartphone(listen to music and movies) and also for my PC, My budget 5K and can i get a good wireless headphone in this budget? and please also tell me where to get one from pindi/Isloo.

 

[zeeshanmn]

Got it from a PG member he imported it from AMAZON, i payed 5k to him he got it for around 7k

That is really strange and sad to hear. If you were in Lahore you could have used my Fiio E10k to check them.

Thanks to [MENTION=127279]mac007[/MENTION] for letting me use his Fiio E07K (and his great hospitality) I was able to confirm the fault in my DT 770. We did a simultaneous comparison with one of his Tristar headphones and the sound from his 5k headphones was way better and crackle free on high volume lol.

Guess thats an end to my relationship with Beyerdynamic. Off to look for AKG or Sennheiser.

 

[MadDemon]
