Plz suggest me a good headphone that has gr8 sound quality, is really reliable and recommended brand....my budget is 2000 max....not a penny more..

the last headphones i bought didn't last long as they ran into internal wiring problems and sometimes ended up having a scenario where only one of the sides use to work....and also they were tight...and because of this my ear muscles use to pain a lot....so plz keep these things in mind...

Get Koss porta pro....I have one....and they sound really good....though a little boomy, designed for genex....Best part of it : comes with a life time warranty.....

But yes again its available in US...check with amazon...I got it for $40....

Sennheiser low ends are real crap.....trust me!....

Get the Sennheiser HD202 if you want to listen to music at its best.

Sony MDR-XD300 is good for gaming giving a lot of bass >>Made for Bass Lovers<<

Philips SHP 2700 - ~1.5k is good for watching movies and is somewhat more comfortable than the above. Build quality not as good as above though.

Go and try them out yourself.

I personally use Philips SHP2700 and they sound good. Honestly i have not heard HD202 or XDR300 so can't comment on their quality.

Buy from Philips Arena.

uhm. I'm pretty sure there was no critical listening involved in TOEFL, i mean, in terms of sound quality :p

usually for any given budget , one good pair of headphones + cheap seperate mic will be better than a multimedia headset

anything, buy the cheapest iball/chinese desktop mic. it will die in a few months anyway. at least this way it wont end up making your headphones semi useless

on the same boat but does anyone know if they have a detachable cable,since what good is a expensive headphone once the cable is screwed,i have many headphones that are lying around thanks to the cable fault.
