We're all gamers here. We know all the tech out there. From TV's and consoles to tablets, phones and graphic cards. What about headphones? I always wanted a decent pair of wireless headphones that I can use with my phone, tablet, PC and Mac, and maybe even with my TV. But it has to be wireless. It's more awesome wireless. Headphones that need to be pluged in or have adapters are out of the question.

Beats by Dre anyone? I know they are immensly popular. But the price tag. Oh my god... I could get a Philips pair of wireless headphones and still have money to buy a PS3 SuperSlim ( I always wanted to put the FAT version aside). So what to do? Again. The price. My god... Why?

I'm no expert when it comes to sound and headphones and whatever, but the pricetag is huge. Then you have the looks of these headphones. I guess they look alright, but I'm not that impressed. They're glossy, so they're gonna get dirty fast and have tons of fingerprints on them. So what's so great about that? Also, almost everyone seems to have a pair, so you'll look just like any other sheep from the herd. I also can't stop having the feeling of owning these headphones, using the metro one day and someone just taking them off and runing away with them. I mean, I've seen people still cheaper stuff. And a bum could get a lot of money for a pair. So I could get robbed.

On the other hand, I've looked for alternatives, but there are very few. I only found some headphones from Philips, but they look pretty weird, but all the reviews from amazon are 5 stars. So that's gotta count for something.

The price is killing me right now. I'm not sure what to do. I have the feeling that if I buy anything else, I'll always want these Beats.

And lastly, aren't they old? They came out 1 year ago? Why are there no new models? Why isn't there a price cut? Hmmmm....

There's some many choices out there that it's ridiculous. I don't always go for the name brands myself since there's good quality third party things out there, it's just a matter of knowing where to look. I wish you the best of luck shopping for what you need. ;)

 @macrules_640 I found a decent pair of Philips headphones, almost 5 times cheaper than the Beats. I'm still thinking about it, not sure what to do.

Best of luck finding a good quality set of wireless headphones for cheap.

 

 

Having a wired one isn't so bad, if you manage the cord properly. You'd then have a much wider variety of quality headphones to choose from at a reasonable price.

 

 

If you ever change your mind about wired headphones, I suggest something from Sennheiser. Their sound I find is in line with higher end, much more expensive sets, so you'd be getting your money's worth.

 @neil_2468 Nope, I don't want wired. I want something I can use with all my devices. Too bad the 360 hasn't got bluetooth cause then I could have used the bluetooth headphones with it. But the PS3 has :D
