Guys I need headphones. Preferably circumaural that are comfortable and dont look like crap. Within 5000-10000. Im looking at Skullcandy Hesh 2.0, Audio Technica ATH/M35 and Sennheiser HD 205II. Or any other Sennheiser model. I'm sure about them. Also the Audio Technica XS7. Since they're behind the neck and can be easily used in public. Unlike the others. Except maybe skullcandy can be used but I'd still prefer the XS7 for lets say, on a flight over the Hesh 2.0
What do you guys suggest. And is vmart.pk and a reliable place to order these from? If not can I buy them from somewhere in Lahore?

So in my hunt for comfy ear-pads, I did a little experiment. I got Sony MDR-XB700 ear-pads and put them on my most celebrated custom pair and vala! Sounds AWESOME. Most of the review I read about the XB500/700/1000 etc. say that they miss out on mids sometimes.

Well for me, I've got a nice U, semi-U curve with excellent Mids, Lows and Highs... if you have a pair that fits the size, I say go for it. Comfy as a kitty, Bassy as a bomb!

Well to be honest, in Pakistan or even here in the UAE, it's quite difficult to get extra pads. Some options may exist, like I can look around and get some BeyerDynamic pads etc., but it's like 2000 to 3000 in rupees, and I hate velour. Even major music stores here (like Yamaha, Virgin etc.) dont have extra pads sold separately. One solution I'd find was to get some cheaper headphones and use their pads. The eventual solution was to order only pads from somewhere, so I ordered my pads from eBay. Matter of fact, I've ordered dozens of items from eBay (PayPal and eBay are a God-damn blessing we're deprived of in Pakistan). So there. Either try to find them in PK or buy a cheap headset I guess...

Can Anyone recommend me a portable Amp for earphones ???
fiiO e6. 3000 rupees. e7 or e07k (new version) is better but more cash (7k - 12k), but more options, more loud, and I think it's the best bang for the buck anyhow. Try the SteelSeries USB soundcard that's going around here for 200 to 600, 700 rupees. If ur phone supports usb-on-the-go, this is the best route. No charging hassle, no mobility hassle. Plug and play (get an OTG cable). And it gets pretty loud (without distortion). Tried and tested. Though for better amps and options, go fiiO.

Hi all,

I am looking for a wireless headset for gaming. I was thinking of a creative wireless tactics 3D Omega but I couldn't find any store in Karachi that had it in stock.

Could anyone please point me to a decent wireless gaming headset that I can purchase in Karachi?

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
