Found these on Amazon 2day for $24.99, 50% off the $49.99 list price. Worked out to $34.99 after shipping to 5000.
They have been cheaper on OzBargain before but can't find any in stock selling for less at the moment. They also come with a lifetime warranty ;)
Enjoy :)
Edit: Prices given are USD
CamelCamelCamel.
I find their sound to be better for FPSs than my $120 Steelseries "gaming headset".
It's been at this price for about a week. I bought the KSC75 and the KTXPRO1 for U$9.99 which is even more value for money.
linky?
Sound might be good but they look hideous.
buying headphones for their looks is what leads to things like Skull Candy.
Skull Candy? I think you forgot "Dr.Dre" Beats.
skull candy aviators are actually very well respected.
retro not hideous. hideous is what people buy these days; headphones bigger than their heads that shout "hey look at me! look how stupid i look!"
because big headphones make you look stupid? ok…
i couldn't care less whether people who don't know headphones think i look stupid using big headphones…but i definitely respect someone rocking good headphones in public wihout a care for whether idiots who know nothing about headphones think they look stupid.
you rock your "retro" portapros, and i'll rock my big headphones that absolutely trounce the crap out of your portapros sound-wise. (no disrespect to porta-pros)
stupid comment.
read my comment again
yes headphones bigger than their heads makes them look stupid
i did not say big headphone are crap/shit or whatever
people say porta pros are hideous, i say big ass headphones make people look stupid
ok so tell me, what "headphones bigger than their heads" do you refer to?
you say big ass headphones make people look stupid? you are just as bad as people who say porta pros look hideous. that's my point - you are a hypocrite.
fck judging someone on how their headphones make them look…that's some retarded superficial bullsht by idiots who know nothing about sound quality.
grado ps1000, beats studios, skullcandy hesh etc
so people can have their opinions and i cant?
i bet your one of those stupid looking people who walks around thinking theyre all that and an expert on sound
did i say that? i specifically said: "fck judging someone on how their headphones make them look…that's some retarded superficial bullsht by idiots who know nothing about sound quality."
i'm no expert on sound, but i'm happy to not be a superficial idiot who judges people on how their headphones look. you obviously are.
i judge people who think they look cool because of how their headphones look as a fashion item. but judging people for how their headphones look is just as retarded as someone who thinks they look cool because of their headphones.
ps. yes: it's absolutely fine for someone to personally think a headphone look hideous. that is one's own personal feeling on the aesthetics of a headphone. but to judge a person as looking stupid based on your own aesthetic values: yes, that is superficial bullshit. for sure, have your opinion on how a headphone looks, but fck off if you judge someone as looking stupid for their choice in headphone.
ms said they think the headphone looks hideous (an opinion on the aesthetic of a headphone). you said people look stupid with big headphones (a judgement on another person based on their aesthetic choices). that's the difference
aha, so all you guys who negged me can't distinguish between saying "big headphones look hideous" (opinion on aesthetic) and saying "big headphones make you look stupid" (judgement on a person based on aesthetic)?
wow, ok…
People judge people. Right or wrong, it's a simple fact you need to learn to live with.
they actually look nicer IRL as the picture shows the band retracted once extended the earpads are smaller then they look… also the design is from like 1984… so retro is the word…
+1 for sound. could be hideous but highly portable.
Damn it. Bought a replacement set at full whack about 3 weeks ago. I wish their life time warranty included cats chewing through the wires.
They sound great for how cheap they are. I don't think there is anything wrong with how they look. Especially when the smaller size of these makes them easy to carry around.
Only problem would be that they are open, so at higher volumes people around you can hear it.
For the price I don't think you can get much better. Can be pushed loud while still retaining clarity. I have a pair and love them, but rarely taken them out and about. I still prefer in-ears for that as these are still too large to fit in a pocket comfortably.
I have a pair of these, decent sound for little money.
