Headphones

[Mighty 1404]

It's that time again. I need a new pair of headphones. What's everyone rocking these days? Is anyone out there rocking an IEM? 

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm not worried about a mic option. 

[NexIV 139]

Corsair Virtuoso. Had this pair for 2 years and treated it a little garbage and its still all very great. The mic is very good tbh. Sound quality is nice. I havent had any issues.

Insane noise cancellation and clarity and they don't make you look like a freak if you want to take them out of the house.

I’ll take a look. Currently looking into IEMs. I know nothing about them but I’m getting tired of the over the ear headphones. It gets so hot with them on and sometimes uncomfortable.

Those are what I currently have, but after about two years of wear they are starting to give out. If I can’t find a better option I’ll most likely order these again.

I've went through 2 pair of these is 5ish years and still use them today, If I wasn't a retard I'd probably still have the first pair. Nothing to complain about excellent battery life, really good Bluetooth range, and overall quality sound for a pretty good price.

I have been using the same pair of HyperX Cloud II's for the last 5 years

1. do you plan on taking outside of house
2. is your room noisy 

if you want the best of both worlds many opt for a very high grade open back headset (they have a much much bigger sound stage and overall a better sound AND will not make your head hot) and then get a nice budget pair of IEMs for on the go

Budget IEMS : https://moondroplab.com/en/products/aria or https://www.linsoul.com/products/tinhifi-t3-plus I promise you they will be better then any bluetooth earbuds. 
Bluetooth earbuds: https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/momentum-true-wireless-3/ Great bass great EQ and good noise canceling 

I have both the t3 plus and the true momentum 3's both great sound 

as for open back headsets for your room, budget is your limiter, some of the top end stuff will need an AMP to power them 


a few great options

feel free to DM me i love talking about audio 

Dont go wireless for your desktop setup, the audio quality drop off is not worth listening to your friends while you piss

[ZimZim 258]

Depends on budget but I just got the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless because @ N9ne- recommended them to me and they are awesome. Comfortable, 2 batteries so never have to sit the headphones on a charger, great wireless range, good sound and mic quality for wireless.

if you need a mic (i know you said you dont) pc38x is a great bang for buck option and will sound better then most epos @ Mighty  dont pay the gamer tax, if you have a nice studio mic, get a nice studio headset, also what did you have before?

Had these in the past. Loved them. This @ Noble bastard is getting me to drop some money

[Omar 214]

dt 990s are awesome have been using them for a while. as far as IEMS go the moondrop arias are amazing for the price. 

[Fuzy 1189]

I've had my A50s for like 6 Years. These things just never go bad. I have the Bluetooth version and they still have a nice battery life after the years.

Do studio headphones handle 7.1 surround sound in games tho? I don't expect them to have all the necessary speakers for 7.1 surround sound but at least virtual 7.1 surround sound. I can definitely tell a difference in FPS games using stereo modes and 7.1 surround sound.

 

Personally, I have H3Pro Hybrid headset from EPOS. It works great most of the time. My biggest issue (and I'm being picky) is the audio connectivity is sometimes finicky. Meaning I've had issues with the dongle. Physical connection has worked with no issues. It's much better now than when I first got them which was 1 month after they dropped.

The headset has everything I could ever ask for:

• Wireless
• Connectivity using a USB dongle instead of BT (for gaming)
• BT connectivity for my phone & laptop
• Physical connections via USB-C and analog
• ANC
• Simultaneous listening when connected to a Bluetooth device
  • I can answer calls/listen to music from my phone while also hearing all my computer audio
• Detachable boom mic so I don't look like a nerd on the airplane

Absolutely every feature I could ever ask for. Just wish the wireless connectivity via dongle was flawless.

[Not Skateezy -Don't Ban- 93]

Any DT are nearly the best you can get without getting into crazy price territory.

I have DT 770 Pro's with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 which you will need for preferential sound quality.

The headphone/mic combos will never be as good as a standalone headphone / mic set up.

Unfortunately we cannot give you compensation for this matter. If you feel this is incorrect, you can request your compensation be elevated to noone because what i say goes We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for playing with Olympus.

Depends on the amount of cash you are willing to fork over. I use Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro. Best i have ever owned, but pricey. Leaving a link for you.
