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?
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.
Just a regular Sennheiser HD 569. I don’t like gaming headphones.
I don’t like headphones designed for the gaming market. I use a Sennheiser HD 599 which is a few years old now. Sounds excellent both for music and other activities. Open backs are great for when wearing headphones for long periods; my ears don’t get sweaty nor fatigued even when wearing good open-backs for hours on end.

I’m using the Moondrop Aria Snow. Not to expensive, and they sound pretty good if you ask me.
Old Sony HIFI headphones with a microphone added myself.
I use wired headphones when I need to use headphones.
Sony MDR-7506: I use them because they’re affordable, repairable, high quality sound professional studio-grade headphones.
That said, most of the time I stream to my TV using a mini PC and Moonlight/Sunshine, so I just use my speaker system
I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)
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.Sennheiser gaming headset. Classic 3.5mm. The only half u have to deal with is the cable.
I use Audio Technica ATH-m50x through a Topping DAC. Honestly really like the Koss Studio headphones as well and that’s what I’m looking to pick up. Obviously not better than DT880 or some Sennheiser, but I like to buy cheaper headphones.
Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.
I do have a Sennheiser DT 990 Pro (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).
There’s no Sennheiser DT 900 Pro. Do you mean beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro?
Yes! I noticed it… eventually
Are you perhaps referring to Beyetdynamic 990 Pros?
Currently: HyperX Cloud Alpha
Before: HyperX Cloud
Sennheiser HD 599 Have had em for a couple years, they were my first proper open back headphones and I’ve fallen in love with them
Used to have an Audio Technica ATH-M40x which were amazing, great sound quality for the price, but their plastic kinda broke in both ears eventually and i had them taped together for a while, swapped over to some Phillips SHP9500 which tbh never sounded as good at the audio technica even though they cost about the same
Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn’t add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os and is easy to switch between headphones mode (stereo audio) or headset (mono sound +mic) mode. Never worked on win10 for some reason.
AT m50x with a modmic here. The cabling can be a hassle, but I love the damn things.
Same headphones here, love 'em
Same here. Great headphones. Stock pads will start to fall apart after about a year and a half depending on how sweaty you are but you can get sheepskin replacements that will last much longer after that. Also adding a ModMic works nicely with these as well.
