Dre is shit. It's a concave shaped vibrator which I guess is alright if that's what you need it for

It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.

For that price, you can get much better headphones. (Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamics, Sennheiser, Ultrasone, ...)
Dre is really just a commercialised piece of fashionable technology.

I hear Sennheiser and SteelSeries have really good headphones
Or you could go stylish with Razer :)

Gaming headphones are nothing like audiophile headphones. =P

I don't really care about the quality of sound compared to comfort of the headphones

Smart one. I never really got why people buy super-headphones because they 'sound better'. Sound isn't that important, not $200-important, even in gaming

depends what you play, sound is one of the key components in fps games, probabl the most important actually. it is impossible to play competitively without sound

my first proper headphones were siberias and they were dirt. never get gaming headphones/headsets.

Even in FPS gaming, you don't need $200 headphones
I use basic ($7) earphones and still do well

The awkward moment when a person buys $400 headphones to hear another players footsteps, but the other player has the ninja perk on.


Wow.. that wasn't even funny.

You probably don't have the same appreciation for music, or you have never experienced music as it is intended. I would happily pay thousands if I can feel the difference in quality. (and I have spent thousands so far)

^ I own these, they're around $30~$40 off amazon - you should wear them for bragging rights and to feel cool in the inside but they're about the same as any other headphone really
