Hey guys, I want to pick up both a new pair of headphones for my ipod as well as a new headset (with mic) for my pc.

I'd like to find good quality ones, but they don't need to be the greatest as top quality audio would probably be wasted on me. (I probably wouldn't notice the difference between a top quality pair and a pretty good pair)

How much should I be looking to spend? What are the features I'm looking for? Any specific recommendations? (things that can be found on Danawa or Gmarket preferably, I don't wanna mess around with customs if I can avoid it)

Appreciate any advice!

For the ipod headphones, I've been using a pair of Creative ep-830's which I've been extremely pleased with, comfortable with noise isolation and fairly balanced tunes. (just imo though)

For the pc headset, and respective quality for price you might want to look here ^_^:

Most of the stuff on there can easily be found on Gmarket, and I know I saw a lot of them last time I wandered around the big strip pc mall in Yongsan. I dunno about good ones with a Mic though, sorry.

I would read up on that link kain posted. You can also read here http://www.overclock.net/t/1014902/ocns-most-recommended-audio-products but probably mostly a rehash of the other link.

Not long ago I picked up a pair of Ultrasone Pro-500s that I think were the best money I have spent in a long time. My wife and I fight over them so I think I am going to have to buy another pair! I had been using crappy headphones for the past 5 years and not sure why... My webcam has a mic that I just use if I need one. http://www.ultrasone.com/index.php/en/products/pro-550.html

For your iPod, Koss KSC75. Shoddy build quality, but mang they sound awesome for a 17'000won pair of clip on headphones. Comfortable too.

Dunno about headsets, never owned one.
