Hi,
I'm looking for a headset (preferably headset, unless really no choice, then I will opt for headphone) which will be use mainly for gaming.
Since I doubt I'll ever buy a sound card, is USB headsets/headphone a better option for me?
Anyways, my budget is RM200 to RM500..
Thanks in advance!

Let's see.....how bout Sennheiser CX300?
They are well under your budget though, and some say it lacks control.

I think there aren't many out there that has the bass of the Atrio. Some regard to it as the benchmark for bass. My benchmark is the DDM. I'm seriously looking into buying an Atrio in a few months, as a more comfortable alternative to the DDM.

I'm now interested in a USB DAC, below rm400, mostly for listening to FLACs.
any to suggest?
Also, does connecting a DAC to laptop and then connecting to a portable amp increase SQ?

FiiO E7, USB/DAC + amp

if you get an USB headsets, then you only able to use with your pc

if you get the 3.5mm headset, at least you can use with your pc, mp3 player, phone n bla bla bla
future investment with the soundcards still able to use it with the current headset what

isn`t "headset" same as the headphone?
or headset is the headphone came with the mic? lol
sorry for my dumbness

SR60 would be much more better compare with the PX100-II
comfortness, build quality i would say is really above the PX100-II

u could try search the following headphone as well :
Beyerdynamic DT231 PRO
AKG K420
denon AH-D501
Audio Technica T500, AD300
Shure SRH240, SRH440
Sennheiser HD408
Koss Portapro

definitely increase SQ

Anyone here using FutureSonic Atrio? How's the performance?

thanks for the reply

i read a lot of good reviews regarding the sr60 especially the clear sound clarity. so might give it a try. is the headphone jack of sr60 compatible with those on the laptop/desktop/phones?

Thanks a lot bro! heh 1 more last thing what do you think about the ultimate ears triplefi 10?

Haven't tried one. But looking at the design I'd say it'll be a bit difficult for some to get a good fit(I know I've read some that have the problem). It is a triple driver though, and I don't think it'll be a slouch when it comes to sound quality. Some use them as a reference to test out audio rigs. Some do complain a little but that may be because it's not the sound they like or they're very very critical. I think users of Triple.Fi 10 should give a comment.

I'd say try them out. It is a rather large investment. If you can't find the opportunity to try them out, I do recommend the other cheaper options, as they fit your need for bass.

Added on April 18, 2011, 6:01 pmThinking of letting go of mine. Well in a few months though.
But it is modded and I'm not sure the warranty is still available.

Oh, and it is compatible. it has a 6.3mm adapter. It is attached to the 3.5mm plug when shipped.
And about the sound. I find out that at times in certain music it does reveal some extra details. Details I've dismissed as being recording noise or artifacts before. They are just a tad sibilant, and bass can be felt when fed with the right music and power. Bass is quick, separation is good, though can be a bit sibilant. I've modded mine to have a slightly better bass slam and a pinch more impact, so I don't have to turn up the volume as much so the sibilance can be controlled. I've read reviews about these lower-end grados having a narrow sound stage. I was expecting the worst, but it isn't that bad really. My favourite thing about the SR60i is how it presents the electric guitar. Totally full of energy, the distortion is done very nicely, good weight. Muse's Newborn guitar entry hasn't sound so satisfying.

A recommended option for a starter headphone.

Headsets are headphones with mic.. That's the only difference.

Budgets running from 100-200, but will definitely consider anything you guys reco as long as its worth it. Cheers!

Forgot to mention that I'm already wearing glasses...

did a bit of research and it what do you guys think about this one:
Sony MDR-G75LW (cord is retractable)
Sennheiser PMX70
Koss KSC75 (but not sure about clipon as will the ears start to hurt? Tried a clipon once and only lasted 15 mins for me.)
