Glorious.... There isn't any huge price difference in audiophile headphones between Greece, Sweden or Germany.
But when it comes to gaming headsets... A steelseries siberia V2 headset costs 40Euros in Sweden, 60 in Germany, 120 in Greece..
And that's the same for most gaming audio peripherals

My mics...
Beyer Dynamic DT294 headset - A pair of DT250 headphones with a mic. Exceptional noise isolation as it has a hyper cardioid polar pattern. It's my go to mic for teamspeak.
Sony ECM-77B lavalier - the standard television clip on used by most broadcasters. Very high quality with a matching price tag. Omni directional so not ideal for noisy environments.
Behringer ECM8000 - designed for measuring speaker frequency response in an anechoic chamber or for room equalisation. Very good frequency response (obviously) but picks up everything from everywhere as it's an omni pickup pattern.
AKG D-58 - A talkback mic designed for a goose-neck and for speech only. Limited frequency response but still quite clear. Hyper cardioid pickup so reduced background noise.
Sennheiser ME66/K6 shotgun - This is another common mic used in television where the clip on cannot be used due to noisy environments. Quite useful as it has a battery section that negates the need for a phantom supply. (+48V PSU) Super cardioid polar pattern means it doesn't pick up much external noise. This is my secondary choice of mic for teamspeak if i don't want to use headphones.

I watched this. I'm quite annoyed right now... So the Logic in the video, "sound quality sucks, but WHO cares". Talking about headphones...

What a pathetic argument from that guy on so many levels, it really isn't discussion at all. They probably don't deserve all of the hate they get, audio is after-all rather subjective. Having never used or really seen any hands on I wouldn't comment on their performance and quality for the price but they certainly don't come across as a product for discerning tastes

TLDW; Its all about that bass

Even then the bass sucks.. it's all enhanced by the enginners. It is not natural or flat compared to cheaper and better headphones.
Yeah I know, but that guy was going on about how great the bass was and how it appealed to the "average consumer"

Classic beats argument ''but that bass doe''... actually no. The bass on any of the beats range is bloated, not very extended and muddy. It sounds good to people that don't know what ''good'' sounds like.

Because the average consumer doesn't know shit about audio and are all mainstream. They think the more boom there is the better when it's not.

I've listened to the beats solo. They have a good lows indeed but I haven't listened to something like the dt 990 in order to pick out the best one although I think I know the winner.
