Good pair of headphones for computer use? 100-

Hey y'all! Trying to get suggestions on a good pair of headphones!
1) Would a wireless pair hurt the sound/efficiency of my music experience?
2) My price range is anywhere below $100!
3) Thanks!

Basically, anything that could have been said about wireless headphones has been said. Good information all around.

My favorite pair of headphones so far has been [url=http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028574]this one.[/url]

I bought [url=http://v-moda.com/crossfade-lp2-matte-black-metal/]these headphones[/url] because I wanted to switch, and I'm just waiting for them to break so I can replace them with another JVC set, but these just don't break. I guess that can be a good thing. The JVC headphones were pretty prone to breaking, I have a bunch of old broken ones lying around that I've bought and replaced over the years. But these V-Moda headphones are just so durable. And uncomfortable.

[quote=Belzier]The only thing about wireless is that they often lose some of the lower end frequencies (bass). For the average listener, it's likely not a big deal.

If audio quality is a significant factor for you, and you're talking about Head-SETs (with a mic), a common suggestion is to buy the headphones and mic separately to save on the premium they charge. Of course, you lose out on the "convenience factor".

You're much more likely to get a better quality set of headphones if you get a wired set with that limit. I don't follow the headphone market though, so I can't make any suggestions.[/quote]

Ah, it's completely fine for you to admit that you can't make a suggestion! Thanks a lot for the clarification in regards to wireless vs wired!

[quote=acuppa]most savvy people discourage wireless sets so I'm guessing there's a good reason to avoid them
