Alright, so i'm now looking for the best noise cancelling (not as important as sound quality), closed back, portable, no amp required to drive (well), closed back pair of headphones for ~$300kris9031998
I do not use noise-cancelling headphones, personally, but the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B is very well-regarded. The new Klipsch Mode M40's are supposed to be excellent, featuring a built-in amplifier; you might be able to find them for $300 street. In general, though, over-ear noise-cancelling headphones are not very portable. I would strongly suggest you consider the V-Moda M-80s. You can get them from Radio Shack, and I suggest this because their return policy is excellent, so you can evaluate them for 30 days without worry. They are very portable, durable, sound excellent without amplification, come in under your budget, do a decent job blocking out most noise (airport type noise, not construction zone noise), look great, come with a carrying case, and are just wonderful, in general. I might also suggest an IEM (in-ear monitor). Though it's not what you asked for, I find IEMs to be the best option for reducing external noise and convenience while traveling.

im thinking of getting either Audio Technica ATH-PRO5MK2 or the Sony MDR-V55 but not sure which one to get. which has the better sound quality and is the most comfortable?

I haven't used that particular model from Audio Technica, but I have auditioned the MDR-V55. I'm not sure what happened to Sony, but I've found their current headphone lineup to bass-heavy and muddy. If it's between the two, I'd blindly go with the Audio Technica. If you don't mind an open-back headphone, the Grado SR80i is probably the best value in the $80 price range. Happy gaming, Boz

Greetings:

I'd like to see the superuser tags for Moderators and Rangers hot-link to an F.A.Q. about the designations. Right now they're just images, and no FAQ exists that explains what Rangers are versus moderators, as well as how users might become one or the other (or both), of which I am aware outside this one by SoulReaverCross.

Happy gaming,

Boz

I don't mean just for Swan speakers, but just audio retailers in general. You've got to have access to M-Audio and/or Audioengine through either an electronics retailer or instrument retailer (Guitar Center here in Boston has one of the largest selections of headphones available, and a large selection of monitors) locally.

There HAS to be a retailer in or around Quebec City. Do a little Googling for audio retailers and I'm sure you'll find a dozen or more. Solen retails out of Montreal, which is a fairly short drive from Quebec; you've definitely got options. Boz

[QUOTE="kris9031998"]So, how are the Bose Quietcomfort 15's? Planning on getting one pair for home (sennheiser hd 650's) and one for when im out of the house, so i'm gonna need some good headphones with great N.C.

Despite the flak they receive from audio enthusiasts, Bose is the leader in noise-cancelling headphones (they invented it). If you want an over-ear headphone where noise-cancelling is a priority over sound quality, then Bose is a good bet. That said, if you're simply looking to reduce external noise, you might try a closed-back headphone. They require no additional power-source, and will effectively muffle external noises without compromising sound quality. If this is for travel, such as airports, then appearance and portability may be a factor. If you're open to a closed-back headphone and my aforementioned travel assumption is correct, consider the Audio Technica ATH-M50, V-Moda M-80s, or possibly an IEM if you're not opposed to an in-ear versus over-ear.

What about NVIDIATI's suggestions in this thread? Seems to meet your criteria, particularly if you want a sub.

those WoW quests like Gnomebliteration are few and far between. but that's still more than most MMO's are doing to make quests interesting and while objectives of normal quests are always the same at least the writing is good or funny(IMO).Kickable
Gnomebliteration is one of many, many great quests since the introduction of Cataclysm, and certainly not isolated. You've got the Plants vs. Zombies homage, robot football in the goblin starting area, a "whodunit" in Westfall, the entire quest chain of Redridge Mountains is funny and entertaining with its Rambo tribute, you've got Lunk's quest line in Searing Gorge, everything both Alliance and Horde in Swamp of Sorrow is epic and a ton of fun- Blizzard completely upped the standards of questing in Cataclysm. Sure, there are still a bunch of gathering and killing quests, but they are much, much more entertaining on the whole than WotLK and earlier, and far superior to any other MMO currently available (full disclosure: I stopped playing WoW in Jan, and do not play an MMO currently). That said, we'll see about Guild Wars 2. I haven't had a chance to watch Kevin-V's stream of the beta, yet. Happy gaming, Boz
