General

Get a job. work two weeks. buy both.

Dr.Dre, or anything from the "Beats" line is overpriced, not saying the sound quality is good, but for the same price you could get better headphones from Sennheisers

headphones, but dont buy skullcandy. the sound quality sucks.

I'm sorry, but it's commit suicide. Suicide isn't a verb.

[quote=Littlefine12]I have 450$ headphones and they aren't that great. Get NX.[/quote]

I gagged on my water and died a little on the inside.

k i hope you see this cause im experienced in both.
NX is not satisfying. from an old first kms player ive played for YEARS even since i was a kid. i quit A LOT. this is probably my record for playing 6 months without quitting. Hackers can be a pain unless you play your cards right (I did) and NX just feels scary to use since you don't wanna mistakingly get scammed a 10 att wg for like 100k nx.

Headphone's however... skullcandy are not good quality. garaunteed problems within the first few. i have a pair of the $450 dre's and i love em, great quality and great looks. maybe not the best shot with money-use, but here's the thing. whatever floats ur boat. honestly you have to personalize this; do you play maple more or could u just live off some normal headphones and half the nx? Would you prefer all on headphones or just all on maple? I mean if your gonna earn like 200 bucks more it won't really scratch your wallet but you gotta think of Nexon possibly getting owned soon. its been a while; who knows.

k i know this is a lot but you gotta choose wisely. if you spend it on nx, bad chance u can get a refund. headphones however you don't like em, here in canada best buy will gladly exchange them for you (Obviously paying the price difference).

Maybe both aren't a good choice. maybe you want a new wardrobe. im a dude who loves fashion so thats what im leaning into.

infact, maybe you need to screw everything, and get a new laptop. Best of both worlds... better maple experience, better speakers and processor or what not nerd stuff for better quality music. i hear those dre laptops are out; i infact plan on getting one of thsoe cause they sound duh sexxxxy.

anyways, personalize. think of what u need.. want more.
whatever floats ur boat right?

EDIT: If your not into dre's... Sennheisers, bose, and turtle beaches are pretty sick too. i have bose and turtle beaches and ive tried sennheisers. all very amazing but if your getting dre's get the studio or nothing else.
Dres: Tours - break and have lots of fake replica's around.
Solo - had a pair.. they snap very easily and hurt ur ears by pressure.
Spin - The circle hard ear foam pressures ur ear too much and it hurts.

Studios- sound leak but comfy, good, and sexy.

Go for headphones, I don't know how good SkullCandy is at that price range but search around on some audiophile forums to see what the best bang for your buck is.

I suggest the ATH-M50s Professional Studio Monitor Headphones (with straight cable), awesome set of cans. I listen to a lot of hop-hop, pop, rap, r&b, ... basically most mainstream music or anything with a good beat and I like a lot of base. Add a FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier and things really get pumping. Both items should cost less than $150 together (not including shipping).

From what I've seen, experienced, and read avoid Bose, Sony, SkullCandy, Dr. Dres, and other big brands, you are basically paying for the name brand and logo (especially the low-end models). Like I said though, do some research and if you can test them out before making this decision, you may find you like some of them better.

Suicide's not going to help him choose what to get. Fail, LOL.

Technically, if you buy good headphones, they will last longer than NX.
That's if you're lucky.

Invest on high-end audio gear like Sony, Panasonic, Seinnheiser's etc.
You basically just pay for looks when you buy Skullcandies, and most of
their gear look horrible.
Dr. Dre beats have pretty good audio quality..
But they have a lifespan of about 13~37 days on average.
If the Dre displays at Walmart don't live that long,
expect yours to have the same lifespan.
Unless you take real good care of them.

So..Headphones > NX

just cause, i have other things to do than try and make money...though i have like 300 bucks in my bank account..dont wanna use it yet.

The Big Headphones look so stupid

Yea the previous skull candy are all pieces of crap cause i've had em and was very disappointed with them. But these headphones are not some easily breakable head phones with crap quality, i've tried them. They actually feel pretty stable because they're not made out of plastic they actually have a metal frame. And the quality of the music is satisfactory for me.

And im not going with Bose because im pretty sure Bose doesnt have a mic, and the button control thing. soooo...nuh

^^^ Thanks for the info

[quote=cool123ter]you fail for not buying beatz gg.[/quote]

And you fail for thinking the beatz are the best headphones out there. And p.s i never even spent the money yet smart guy cant you read?

[quote=Xukobi]@ Above i fully said OVER THE EAR HEADPHONES.

20$ on NX...useless to me lol...

Also i sold my itouch for that money , but i do have an iphone 4 so dont care too much...but selling my precious itouch for money on a game is...kinda...weird...[/quote]

you fail for not buying beatz gg.

^^^ or i can get get nx now and save for headphones next time

wanting to buy http://www.streetthread.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Aviator-White.jpg

Usually i dont like skull candy...but these ones are much better than their old flimsy peices of plastic.

And yes i will also be using them for my games as well.

Imo over ears make people look retarded, so I would spend the money on NX, unless you're using them for gaming or something.

You can do both, buy some nx headphones

if they arent beatz then spend it on pixel.

headphones -_-

Spending money on a game doesnt necessarily mean you dont have a life. Only idiots believe that.

Headphones FTW.
If you spent it all on Maple, it'd show that you have NO LIFE AT ALL.

Buy $60 of nx and $60 for headphones.

Why headphones? I mean sure, If I was a DJ I'd get some Doctor Dre's or some awesome headphones, but I enjoy music with a group of friends. I'd get some speakers or a boom box. I got a really good Brookstone one for $100. Spend some on the headphones and the rest on NX if you really want both. If you buy the headphones you can use $20 on NX you can play around with!

i want awesome quality head phones -_-

And no dr.dre are over priced cause of the brand name.

And im talking about over the ear headphones btw.

30 bucks on ms or so. Comfortable. 150% Coupons= your level that you want quicker= you have more time to do your own stuff. And they only cost 60 cents a piece
