N@Z 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Do you need closed or open. Earbuds, canal phones, circumaural, or full sized. Dynamic or electrostatic (wha?!) ok that last one was unnecessary. Want something with lot's of bass? Require built in mic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2003 hp890 is open... I think you might need closed headphone because sometimes the lan party are very noisy.. go for closed phone. not sure of both the models.. haven't heard , can't help u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2003 i think bass is important in gaming right? Not really. You want clear sound so you can differentiate where your enemies are coming from for FPS games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
