Am looking for a new pair of headphones, mostly for gaming. The two aspects I care mostly about are comfort and good audio. Therefore wondering about people’s recommendations and experiences with headphones. What’s been your best headphones so far and why?

    I just replaced my headphones with a set of these https://global.beyerdynamic.com/dt-770-pro-x-limited-edition.html

    They’re so comfortable and sound incredible, they’re mostly intended for audio work which I do use them for but for gaming they’re so precise and clear too! Also incredibly comfy and loads of aftermarket stuff available for the dt700 pro x which are also excellent.

    You’ll want a mic with these and I can also recommend this if you want a headset style mic rather than a standalone one on your desk: https://antlionaudio.com/collections/microphones

      +1 for antlion modmic wireless. It’s idiot proof, it sounds amazing, and it lets me use my Sennheisers.

      I would second getting a separate microphone/headphone instead of a combined headset.

      All the headsets I owned over the years were significantly worse in audio quality and broke after a few years, usually something related to the microphone.

      I went with a Sennheiser 598 with a Modmic for years, which was ok but switched to a beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro about 4 years ago.

      So far my favorite out of all the headphones I owned. Very clear sound, comfortable, actually “Made in Germany”, and they still provide replacement parts on their website. Replaced my ear pads just a month ago or so.

      The Modmic is decent but there is a lot of room for improvement, I was never able to find a proper alternative though.
