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.
Gaming headphones are pretty bad, generally. I use Beyerdynamic DT-880s.
I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)
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.
