best headphones sub 180$
hello, I am a 16 year old with 180 dollars in Jordan looking to get into the audio world:)
I spent months researching what headphones to get and I landed on those:
beyerdynamic Tygr 300r (no amp)
sennheiser 58x (20 dollar amp)
audio technica m60x (over budget)
now I don't have an amplifier yet and due to my tight budget I doubt I'll be buying a quality one. any other recommendations in my budget?

I prefer listening to my Edifier H850 through a basic amp/dac setup than my other better headphones through my phone :)
It will also depend on the audio quality out of whatever you'll be using without an amp/dac though

phoenixsongOther than this plan (good dac & amp and a decent headphone), another way is to get a mobile phone with great audio (like the LG Quad dac phones), count it under your mobile phone budget, and use your $180 audio budget to get a decent pair of iems or something :p

Once u get in the audio game there is no getting out. I wish u well lol. For that money I would suggest the hd58x or the hd6xx. Add a headphone down the road.

First of all, Welcome!
I have to admit to a little bit of confusion as you've listed 3 very differently purposed headphones.
- Beyerdynamic Tygr 300 R - Gaming
- Sennheiser HD 58X - Audiophile
- Audio-Technica ATH-M60x - Studio

MaverickAHwell music and gaming as you guessed. I play valorant and csgo and so imaging is important to me. but most importantly is music I mainly listen to rock, rap, alternative, indie rock and some classical here and there. a main focus of mine is vocals as I love and I repeat absolutely love a headphone that makes the artist come alive.

Ill do an even better recommendation, sennhiser pc38x, they just launched, but there a ‘gaming’ headset. Watch z reviews review on it, he goes through it all. If you took the mic off (which sadly you can’t) they would be really good headphones for music, movies etc...

I can make a easy recommendation, The hd58x from seinheiser they're amazing for music and games. if you're from Australia though you cannot get them imported in anymore for some reason

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
