Open headphones with good bass and sound quality - lolumadd_ - 03.03.2013
So I used to have the Turtle Beach Z2's and they were pretty good. But, I wanted better sound quality. So I got the Razer Kraken's which is a closed (sound isolating) design. The sound quality and the bass is fantastic, however, when I take it off my head after sitting on the computer for a while, my ears have a weird sensation lol. I also don't like not being able to hear outside of my computer noise.
Is there any open style headphone / headset that has good sound quality like the Razer Kraken. No more than $200. Thanks.

I currently use these after my TRITTON AX720's broke, they are amazingly amazing. They may not be what you're looking for as they isolate quite well, but I usually find one cup on seems to do me fine when talking to friends.
Logitech G930.
- It's wireless (wired headsets are really annoying with office chairs)
- Wireless ranges my entire house, heck I could even go in my garden
- Charges up to 10 hours and you can play while charging
- Comes with voice morphing, free.
- 3 Programmable buttons, I've got mine macro'd to "Grooveshark Next Song, Grooveshark Pause/Play and one to voice morph toggle
- Mutes when the boom is put up
- Full 7.1 surround sound with astonishing bass
- Surround sound toggle switch, some music just doesn't sound right with it on
- Comfy headband
- Zero-latency wireless, seriously. It doesn't even hum.
- Very, very cheap for what it is.
****** Shopping Results (~$200)
My old TRITTON AX720's were pretty good as the boom mic would loop back sounds in my room, so even having the cups on I would still be able to hear people through the boom clear and loud.
- Very good loopback on the boom
- Good bass
- Really, really comfy. I mean, really. I've fell asleep with them on plenty of times
- Studio quality microphone, best microphone I've used on a headset.
- TRITTON logo is really flashy, I had other TRITTON users around me at a LAN party and we were all using the same series. Looks really nice when it's lit up.
- Good quality and firm headset. The only issue and the reason mine broke was that the boom dropped off, and the cable had been ran over too many times to make my microphone usable.
- Control buttons on cable, controls loopback volume and general speaker volume with mic mute toggle.
- Comes with decoder box and stand, looks really nice when lit up.
- Disadvantage I found: PC would only play mono, Xbox played full surround sound but with my new headset I can see that it was only playing sounds as one speaker. Not very appealing.
****** Shopping Results ($150~)
I seriously don't recommend Turtle Beaches, I've heard reviews of them being absolutely terrible for PC related stuff. A friend of mine couldn't get his working after a good hour of looking up ******* tutorials.

Just go out and jack a set of Beats. That's what everyone else does. xD

A Corsair Vengeance does wonders for me. It is an isolated design but I can easily hear myself type and or hear someone talking to me. (let's say someone rings my door bell, I will hear it). Obviously when having loud music on I don't, but even with an open design you'd have the same thing.
What did you mean by sensation by the way? It some sort of irritated feeling?

I've been looking at the Astro A40's. They are $150, open design, look awesome, and are rumored to have good sound quality.
