Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless… but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps.
What are you all using?
Just a regular Sennheiser HD 569. I don’t like gaming headphones.
Try to avoid gaming-specific headsets. I use Beyerdynamic DT880
Nice I’m not the only Beyerdynamics user, DT770 here. I love the soft velour ear cups, so comfortable for long term wear and great sound.
There’s dozens of us. Beyerdynamic DT1990 here with a Modmic and connected to a behringer UMC404HD.
Nice. I have a modmic on mine too. I don’t have anything as fancy as the UMC404HD but I use a fiio E10K for the headphones.
Sony WH-1000XM4
First couple days I actually got dizzy from the noise canceling, now I can’t live without it.
I can’t stand wired headphones anymore. They always seem to break somewhere along the cable or connection to the cable, no matter how careful you handle them. I can now also easily listen to music or whatever while doing stuff in the kitchen.deleted by creator
Good old Sony MDR-7506 I found in e-waste, replaced the pads and they are golden (light and comfy over ear)! Before that I was using a modified David Clark H10 headset (heavy but naturally isolated with loads of insulation) with MDR-CD999 drivers (can’t believe these were a perfect fit) a Shure boom but it’s only for when the environmental noise is particularly hostile.
I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)
Gaming headphones are pretty bad, generally. I use Beyerdynamic DT-880s.
Sony MDR-7506 wired into a Focusrite dac; the tried and true pair that radio stations across the world have used for years and years.
