Best headset for gaming?
I've heard good stuff about pic related.
What does /v/ use?

>Buyerremorse
>DT 770 in particular
lol
I can't believe this meme is still alive

going strong for 6 years now

>>721066428
for gaming?

>>721066384
why?

>for gaming
do you also have gaming LEDs you massive faggot. 4chan is 18+

>>721066448
I use them for everything. I'm sure you can do better for gaming, 599, 560 or HD 490 PRO definitely have better imaging

it just works

>>721066239 (OP)
sennheiser hd 560s with ablet boom mic cable

>>721066239 (OP)
I use these, specifically the 250ohm versions with the jcally jm20 max dongle. (The dongle isn't always necessary, but motherboards vary in how much power they put over 3.5mm and I switch it between more than one source so it's just easier to use a USB dongle).
I really like them. They're comfortable, fairly durable (one plastic part broke but a 3D printed replacement was easy to install), and they sound great to me.

Some caveats though.
First, I use them for movies, music, and single-player games. I hardly ever play anything multiplayer, just some casual mode cs2 occasionally, so I don't know good they are for hearing footsteps or whatever. You'd probably want something with a mic if you play a lot of multiplayer anyway.

Second, my hearing isn't the best. It's not bad enough to count as hearing impaired but I have tinnitus that I usually drown out with a fan, I have recurring earwax issues, various online tests suggest I can't hear frequencies that I should be able to at my age, and I sometimes struggle to understand people especially in noisy environments.
Audiophiles with (I assume) great hearing often tell me that the DT770 has a shit-tier frequency response curve with ear-splitting treble or something like that. But my not-very-discriminating ears are very happy with them.

This shit is dirt cheap and had been since the 70s
I got mine for, I want to say $40, in 2010 when I was getting into audio a little bit when I was a kid. I figured it'd be an entry point and that I'd move on to more expensive models, but I've never actually tried anything that actually sounds meaningfully better without a dedicated amp. It also has a detachable and replaceable chord, so it's pretty much guaranteed to last for life

>>721066896
>I use these
Nice image attachment idiot

>>721066902
Replaceable earcups? The one issue I've had with my preferred headsets is finding good replacement perishable elements

>>721067016
Nice reading comprehension, retard.

>>721066902
Yeah, you can find replaceable earcups for like $10, same with the proprietary chord. Although they are so cheap and durable in the first place that it kind of doesn't even make sense to be so repairable

I got this and a fiio dac
sounds nice I guess but I don't really get what the big deal is

if you dont need mic pretty much every audiophile grade headphone or iem will be better than most of gaming headsets. Open backs are nice but i had problems with louder fan noise bleeding inside, some hifimans are nice tho, for single player games they really sets wide soundstage, with older games expensive headphones are bit too much, you can really hear that sound is compressed and technology simply was not there. I like iems for now, chinks makes new stuff almost every week.

>>721067016
I guess I should have wrote “those” not “these”.

These are the ones I take to the office so I can take calls, I'll also use them in a pinch while playing games if I need a microphone but that's very rare. They are by far the best pair of wireless headphones I've ever tried, which still puts them below an entry level pair of wired headphones

>>721066526
it was shilled streamers and tech youtubers. Its normal headphone with spicy highs, nothing really stands out in terms of gaming performance and itś not really better than competition but somehow its default recomendation from your local favorite default streamer/tech bro

>>721066239 (OP)
Whichever wired sennheiser model fits your budget
They have the best mix of sound quality, comfort, and build quality
HD 599, HD 600, HD 800S
Keep in mind they are open back
For mics I'm not too sure what is good these days. I have a at2020 on a desk mounted arm

>>721066239 (OP)
a good pair of wired headphones in whatever price range yoiu're comfortable with. If you want beyer dynamic I'd recommend the TYGR 300 R. Open backed and not much more expensive than the dt770.

>>721067381
what about bluetooth lag?

i've been using neuralink audio inference for a while it's pretty good

>>721066428
>open-back headphone
Whats the point? with so much sound leakage you might aswell get speakers.

I've been using hyper x for like 7 years and they all sucked monkey dicks, the right side always break

>>721067848
I just plug them in

>>721066239 (OP)
for an actual headset either Audeze Maxwell for wireless or pc38x for wired

diffuse fr is the best for gaming

>>721066384
They're good thoughever.

>>721068001
>Whats the point?
More natural sound but you need a quiet environment. The open cups can be better when it's hot as you dont have heat build up. Closed back boost the bass which may not be wanted.

>>721066384
works on my machine

>>721066384
There is literally nothing wrong with DT 770's.
Incredible range and tons of detail, especially for the price.

>>721066239 (OP)
I'd buy them if the ones with removable cables become mainline production and not limited edition shit.
I need removable cables on my headphones at that price range.
At any price range really, but especially at that.

>>721068945
DT700 has removable cable.

>>721066896
>so I don't know good they are for hearing footsteps or whatever
if anyone tries to tell you that you need those weird 7-1 speaker system headphones for better audio sound theyre dumb and should be avoided

Ever since my beyerdynamics broke I use an old pair of sennheiser hd555 with the mod that makes them more akin to the hd595. Works on my machine.

>>721066239 (OP)
I use them and they're good, but I want something with a removable cable. What do you recommend?

>>721069391
how much money do you want to spemd?

>>721066239 (OP)
these plastic pieces of shit break down do not buy these ever
everyone I know that had these, had their ones break down within a year brand new

>>721069596
Hopefully no more than like $150.

>>721066239 (OP)
>>721066384
Love my 770s simple as

>>721069662
akg k361 or k371

It just works

Excellent choice, I recommend the 80Ohm version.

>>721069647
werks4me

>>721066239 (OP)
i'm only using these because they are comfy.
the build quality is shit though. one drop and they will shatter because its mostly plastic. audio quality is pretty shit too, its got piercing highs and no lows just like all the other studio headphones. you need to mod them to unfuck their audio quality by putting in cushions inside the cups so the highs start sounding ok again.

also how the fuck does anyone buy headphones in 2025 when everything is marketed towards niggers, so everything has to be wireless with bluetooth and there's no selection of closed over-ears unless it's straight up something worse than a budget gamer headset from 2011 but you pay a $200 premium because we are in 2025

>>721070013
>audio quality is pretty shit too
Nonsense.

>>721069789
fate of every beyershitnamic headphone. you can shower every day but they will turn out just like that. the amount of trash you need to buy for these piece of shits to make them just "OK" and not be gross is fucking nuts. i lucked the fuck out because my ear pads from another headphone fit on the 770s so no more shitstains that are unwashable.

>>721067170
The big deal was with the FT1 Pro. Which one is that?

>>721069746
QRD? I've seen people talking about these weird earbud types before, what's the deal with them

>>721066239 (OP)
> Beyerdynamic
Pleae don't do this to yourselves. At least get the DT 700 PRO X because that thing actually has controlled treble.

>>721066239 (OP)
if you are going for 770s go for the 700 pro x instead, basically the modern version that's better in every way

>>721070518
>better in every way
Except price.

>>721066239 (OP)
>bought those yesterday
>whole thread is saying it's shit
fml

>>721070478
Wtf is that target?

>>721070753
They're good.

there's not a "best headset" for gaming, some say that open headphones give better spacial perception (and personally I just like them more in general) but then if fore example you have the window open and there's noise outside it might cover low sounds while this wouldn't be a problem with closed headphones.
As long as it's good quality and well-balanced it should be great
>>721070225
never ask an /iem/ fag to explain his reasoning, one of the main factor they consider when buying something is how cute the anime girl in the box is

560s with an EQ to add some bass and lower the treble.

>>721070225
NTA, but those are IEMs or inner ear monitors. Can get Chinese ones for pretty cheap and decent quality. I personally don't find them comfortable though compared to over-ear headphones.

>>721066239 (OP)
Lads, what do you use to drive your headsets? I've been looking at DACs etc but it's hard to pick through without audiophile knowledge.

>>721070887
just plug it in your mobo, these shit are actual placebo.

>>721070920
>just plug it in your mobo, these shit are actual placebo.

>>721070887
Is the $10 Apple DAC good?

>>721070887
/hpg/ recommends
>JCally JM20 / Any dongle/miniDAC with an AK4377 or CS43131 chip
>JDS Atom - $99
>RME ADI-2 (many DSP features) - $1200
I personally use a Cambridge DAC Magic 200m. Some of the recent FiiO DACs seem alright but the one I tried had issues with popping on windows with usb as source when playback stops.

>>721071042
if it's loud enough it's loud enough. my mobo drives just about any headphones just fine. maybe yours is some two penny garbage that can't.

>>721070920
I have some Fiio one I paid around $100 for and I tend to agree, at least the volume knob is convenient I guess

>>721068546
luv me bass cannons
luv me mud
'ate treble
simple as

>>721066239 (OP)
I got the dt 990, people talk about it's high treble or volume being too low, but I didn't had trouble with neither, worst part was how it used to squeeze my head when it was brand new
looking back, I'd go for something cheaper like the philips shp9500, this shit is for turbofaggots that are autistic about sound levels

Steelseries wireless.
I used to sell Steelseries back in 2010. They were cheap, poorly made, dogshit products. But they really improved a lot over the years. I know this reads like an ad but I've been using the Arctic Pro Wireless for 5 years and it's fantastic. It comes with 2 batteries so instead of needing to use a wire to recharge I can just "reload" by switching batteries, if needed. Comes with on-board retractable mic. Also very comfortable, I can wear it the entire day.

>topic is gaming headset
>anons post music headsets
i guess that's fine if you don't play with friends

>>721071714
"gaming" headphones are scam.

>>721070887
Unless you have something truly crazy a bunch of the entry level units are more than enough*. If you want secondary features like fancy metal case, more ports and the like can make spending extra worth it, but these are not affecting your sound.

*while entry can mean things the fiio 10k, a common setup would be units like;
JDS Labs atom amp & dac
Topping L30 & E30
Schiit Magni & Modi

I Personally use the atom combo because it is cheap, clean and drives my headphones so far past ear destruction volumes it is staggering.

>>721071714
I'm not paying over 50 bucks for some white brand shit because of RGB lighting

I had those for 12 years before the cable gave out and I loved them very much.
The soundstage or w/e it's called is amazing and I could pin point locate people in CS with it. Wallhack for your ears.
Low bass though so nigger music doesn't play well on em.

>>721071804S
>"gaming"
How about no

>>721070753
buddy, this is a terrible place to ask about anything. I've still got my pair I bought 15 years ago, they're fine.

>>721066239 (OP)

For me it’s the Arctis Nova Pro. I haven’t been using it that much lately though since I’ve just been playing single player games for months now. I prefer my speakers and subwoofer for those.

This anon is right. I wouldn’t bother asking /v/ about anything. Ask this board about a universally acclaimed game and most replies will tell you the game is shit and you’re gay. Ask this board about a top of the line GPU and they’ll call you retarded and say the GPU sucks. Ask them about a top tier high refresh rate monitor and they’ll say you idiot you should’ve bought [insert obscure monitor that no one considers to be better than the one you got]. You have to understand that many of the posters here are under 18 retards, or third worlders, or autistic.

Unbeatable

>>721066239 (OP)
They are super comfortable but I'd go for the DT880 or DT990 unless you live in a very noisy environment.

>>721071914
This is a pretty terrible setup. Just buy a blue yeti snowball or something.

FUCK THE HARMAN TARGET
MORE BASS
MOARRRRRRRRRRRRR

>>721070225
They plug into your ear canal, they are great if headphones are too big or sweaty. Just gotta be careful with the volume. You can get good ones for $30 on Amazon.

>>721071714
OP referenced a non-gaming headset specifically

i have yet to replace my m50xs they've just been fine enough for me

>>721071152
It's too weak for headphones, the Apple DAC is limited in power and meant for earbuds/IEMs, there's other DACs for 10-15 dollars that will do the job

>>721072559
>cant find any good ones sub 200
big sad

>>721072796
If you don't like harman target and want bass look for something in the 20 bucks range cause anything more pricy usually tries not to have shit sound or work with and equilizer.

>>721066239 (OP)
Don't go in to hard for muh sound quality and get wireless ones it's way less of a pain in the ass

Steel series arctis pro are alright. But they are dogshit made and will break in a year or two right at where the headset meets the ear cup. They sound good though.

>>721066239 (OP)
You might want to pick something that also has a mic built in. In case you ever need to tell someone how fucking bad they are at playing.

>headphones
LMAO do you also only use a horse and cart for travel? IEMs completely surpassed headphones years ago and are basically in another world these days.

>>721070825
>>721072635
>They plug into your ear canal
Isn't that just earbuds? Those have been around forever

>>721071256
Superior

>>721072983

These are good ones. Comfy and nice sound. Haven’t heard about the build quality being bad.

>>721071714
They are always overpriced. An amazon basic microphone is already leagues beyond the quality of any "gayming" headset.

>>721072983
I bought the artic 5s yesterday because they were $65 and my BT only Sony ones have terrible quality when using the mic, hoping they are decent once they arrive.

>>721073275
They break right here inside the cup there's a small plastic holder that holds the bar in place. It will eventually wear and crack. I've had three of them and it's happened to all of them about 2 years in.

>>721073543

Welp guess I’ll have to replace eventually. I do like them enough that I’d probably just get another pair when that breaks. It’s the best headset I’ve owned so far.

>>721073543
>I've had three of them
> buy bad product
> continue to buy bad product
I don't understand.

I really enjoy the Audeze Maxwell, great wireless headset with great audio.

>>721066428
these hurt the top of my head no matter which headband length I use
this never happened with my HD598 so I don't know what to do with them

>>721072983
I don't like their soundscape
They lack bass and the mids sound flat

Also the wired ones, like most gayming headsets they use a four pole jack, pretty sure because of the common ground they end up having issues with crosstalk
Either way, I'm forever finding the mic picks up my output audio

>>721073723
BUT IT IS FOR MATURE GAMERS SUCH AS MYSELF

>>721067170
>HE400se
The point of those headphone is how well they take EQ. If you're running them stock you're wasting their potential. Check out AutoEQ, and alsaloudness (even if you don't run Linux the principles behind it can be applied elsewhere). HE400se lets you run a good amount of bass boost without distortion.

>>721073723
They're comfortable, sound fine to me and have a retractable mutable mic so I'm willing to put up with it.

>>721074126
The only EQ that matters is what Oratory1990 produces.

>>721074436
I tried it and rarely agree with the full EQ. I typically only use his suggestions to tame the treble and/or a peak here and there.

>>721072983
If you get this with the DAC the LCD on it has horrendous burn in.

>>721073191
I guess, but these are better. Musicians use them when they perform.

I used to swear by Koss SB45s, very comfy with great sound, and cheap too.
Shame the mic wasn't great, and they always had a problem with weak wiring (you'd snag the cable and the connection inside the ear cup would break)
Last one I bought though the build quality was significantly lower what they used to be, the mic would rattle about instead of staying in place.

>>721066239 (OP)
I've had this pair under my desk for months. I use IEMs, and I'm afraid to check at the headphones if my dried sweat attracted some creepy crawlies.

You DO use planar magnetics right anons? You aren't a dynamic driver shitter I hope.

>>721073879
>Either way, I'm forever finding the mic picks up my output audio
Never had that issue personally. Mine plug into a DAC then go into my PC's USB.

Probably pushing 15 years old at this point and miraculously still holding together, albeit with a bit of epoxy. I honestly dread the day I'll have to replace it since new things bad. HyperX is broadly comparable, but apparently build quality on those has gone down the same shitter Logitech has, or so I heard.

>>721074683
I have both but decent planars are expensive and good dynamics with EQ come close to them while costing less.

>>721075380
>decent planars are expensive
HE400se is cheap.
>good dynamics with EQ come close to them
Only if you hate bass.

>>721074436
Speaking of Oratory1990 where can I download his presets? I'm not sure how to properly translate PDF information into EQ APO settings. Are AutoEQ settings good enough? I want to EQ my Porta Pros.

>>721075831
>"Only if you hate bass."
>recommends planars with zero bass
What

>>721076313
visit grok, upload oratory's pdf, ask him how to enter values in your eq apo

btw eq apo is trash but if you navigate through it enough you can unfuck the program because on every installation it always keeps normalization and some other shit enabled, but good luck finding them

>>721076313
>I'm not sure how to properly translate PDF information into EQ APO settings.
Using the PEACE gui makes it easier to parse so you end up with something like this. Just go down the list each entry at a time.

Note: ignore the specific values in this screenshot as the orartory measurements i've nabbed are some random headphone and are not related to my current values.

>>721066384
I have these for almost 10 years and they're great. I have a dedicated Sound Card, you can't run these headphones without one

I use the FiiO FT1 and honestly I already want to get rid of them
They're very comfortable but they're not durable. They're boring as fuck too.

>>721073736
Thinking of getting these but I'm skeptical about wireless (well, I say that as I use buds 3 pro). How's the battery life? How's the mic? And more importantly, how comfortable are those? Too much or not enough clamping?

Initially I got the DT770 Pro 80ohm
Decent enough although I had to change the pads. Honestly not bad. Comfortable. The hinges broke though and I had to buy new ones.
Then I got the AKG K371. Most uncomfortable shits I ever tried. They're just garbage, I don't know how people like these. Sound quality isn't worth it. Creaky too and if you have just normal fucking ears prepare for them to touch the driver. I guess people like them because of the detachable XLR cable? I just do not fucking understand.
Then I got the HE400se. I'm not gonna lie, they're great, but open back is an inconvenient tradeoff. Very comfortable except for the headband which is dogshit that hurts you and you need extra padding for that. I modded them and it was a mistake because the little improvement meant they were a bit too open for specs of dust and stupid stuff like hairs to get in. But if you're fine with fully open ones these seem good. Although I think the FT1 Pro are widely recommended and having tried the FT1 these are comfortable for sure.

>>721076462
>planars with zero bass
You're suppose to EQ planars. You can turn the bass up and it still sounds like bass. Try that with dynamics and it turns into fart noises.

>>721078205
>They're boring as fuck too.
Boring is good. You can add whatever wacky EQ/distortion you like in software.

>bro just use software it will fix everything!!!
lmaoing at the techletchanners ITT

>>721078205
Battery life is insane, I rarely have to charge it. To me they are pretty comfortable, I don’t game for super long sessions, but I haven’t had any issues for 3-4 hour long sessions. Mic is ok, just make sure to enable noise isolation to at least low to make sure it’s loud enough for others to hear. Audio quality is great, I just use these instead of speakers for every game I play.

Wireless headphones are necessary for me since I game on the couch, way more convenient and comfortable. If you have the money and need the wireless functionality, these are probably the best in the market.

>>721079371
A "boring" headphone does not have unfixable defects.

>>721079371
EQ is useful.

>>721079248
I'm aware that planars have less bass distortion but I'm not certain if out of the box decently tuned dynamics are really that much worse. I can hear some differences between the ones I have but it's not this significant that I could recommend them to anyone unless they really want to spend a lot of money.

>>721066384
I love mine so I don't get it

>>721079335
Yeah but I don't have the fucking time to go autistic on that EQing shit and most presets people post online are quite honestly dogshit

Thanks to some audiophile (or fool) downsizing their collection I got myself - some years ago - the premier LCD2C clone with all the mods done for significantly less than what they retailed for vanilla.

>>721079967
Did you check audiosciencereview if they tested your headphones. You can usually find there a EQ.

>>721068585
More like no bass at all. Open backs suck major fucking ass for anything with even remotely any bass.

>>721080425
I only have closed backs.

>>721066239 (OP)
wtf is wrong with audiophiles?

I'm still sporting my AD900x after a bunch of years and still like them. I freaked out recently since it had a frayed wire, but a friend talked me into modding in a removable cable and all is good again. Not having sweaty as fuck ears is great.

>>721066239 (OP)
i've had pic related for almost 10 years and they're pretty good. I had to change the headset cover thingie a couple years ago and I got a real leather one from an online store i found and now they're supor comfortable for long sessions of use.
They've been getting a lot of hate these past couple years but i still don't get why. When i got them 10 years ago they were some of the most recommended for gaming

I am a hobby musician and I have owned the 770 Pros for some years. Great functional headphones for what they are.
When gaming with friends I used some Corsair Void Wireless for years because that was the only practical mic I had around at home for voice chat.

I bought a used, but like new, set of Audez Maxwell earlier this year for 100€, and I've been spoiled. Coming back to either the Beyer dynamics or Corsairs, the Maxwells sound much better, isolate sound much better (no ANC), lasts for literal weeks on a single charge, and have a great detachable mic included. The 770 pros are surprisingly poor at shutting out sound for a closed back set and the subtle sound of the cable rubbing against stuff is annoying too.

The only thing I dread with the Maxwells are the reports that the planar speakers can break for no reason. I wouldn't throw them in a bag to bring them places unless I really need to, and still that isn't a guarantee they will survive. I'm perfectly fine without warranty for just 100€, and they are worth full price as long as you can have them exchanged under warranty, but you can't expect them to last you decades like the 770 pros.

>>721066384
>Buyerremorse
They and Sennheiser are the only ones that build anything to last. Everything else in the price range dies in under 5 years. For HD 598s all I had to do was replace the cord in a decade, and they're still flawless.

>>721071887

only ever use these for games and don't let anyone else touch them

Everyone always discusses audiophile nonsense that 99% of the population won't even notice, but no one ever brings up build quality or durability, something that is vital to any product, when discussing headphones.

>>721066239 (OP)
HyperX headphones have very similar frequency responses to Beyers, so if you like those then the Beyers will feel very similar to them (but higher quality). Personally I like their headphones a lot, I use the DT770 Pro X's, but I don't consider them gaming headsets. They're just good headphones in general and I use them for music more than anything else.
Whatever you do, don't get a headset with a built in mic, they always have shitty quality, two standalones are always going to be better than an all in one.

>>721080425
I love bass and my open backs have more than enough, any more and I'd be afraid of ruining my hearing

comfy. affordable. I don't use the mic.

>>721066239 (OP)
I've been using some Gen 1 MMX-300s for the last 12 years or something. Still working well. There's a whole lot of reddit-tier wannabe audiophile snobbery going on here, so real advice is not likely to be found.

Sennheiser HD 490 PROs sound pretty good for dynamic drivers(cheaper/lighter)

>>721081678
>>721081737
I just want a good quality pair of headphones to use for gaming that are very durable. I've had Hyperx cloud alphas for 4 years but the fake leather is peeling off like crazy. Hyperx has shit build quality. I was thinking about getting DT770 pro x, or similar ones with removable cable. Are they durable and will I need to get better earpads or headband with them? I'm trying to get something that will last at least a decade.

>>721070013
>the build quality is shit though. one drop and they will shatter because its mostly plastic.
? They're mostly fucking metal. The only plastic bits are the dogshit bandcap that covers the screw for the adjustable band (I highly recommend replacing these with one of the billion 3d printables) and the exterior of the cup. It's otherwise 3 pieces of metal.

>>721070145
Do you... Not wash other headphone covers?

I had these before pic related, the ATH-R70x sounds amazing going from the ad700

Very happy with these

>>721066384
Sorry not sorry that they actually sound good unlike your fucking nigger boombox Beats by some ghettonigger. You're probably a real nigger and didn't get a real amp/audio interface instead just plugging it in the 3,5mm hole back of your motherboard like you would plug in your 3,5mm cock into a crack whore.

>Are they durable and will I need to get better earpads or headband with them? I'm trying to get something that will last at least a decade.
I can't speak for durability, since they're pretty new, but so far they've been fine. The older pair of 770s I had lasted almost a decade before I was stupid and damaged the audio jack. The Pro X's have replaceable cables, so a mistake like that isn't a soldering job now. I'd be pretty confident that they'll last for a long time if you take care of them, and even if you don't most of the stuff on them can be exchanged and replaced.
Pads and bands, they're okay but 3rd party ones will probably do you better in the long run. They won't disintegrate on you like the pleather HyperX's do, but you should clean them because they will accumulate grime in the leather. If you do stick with stock, then they're comfy, I've had some bad cups in other headsets but the Beyer's have really nicely padded/sized ones for my ears and I don't get any chafing from them.
The only thing I'd really complain about with the Beyers is that the dimple ratchets on the headbands aren't my favourite thing. They won't snag hair or anything like that, but the metal headband has a tendency to crack/pop if you misalign the dimples, which is easy to do. It won't damage them, but it can be annoying.
The only other thing worth noting is compared to the DT770 Pros the treble isn't as pronounced and the bass is a little stronger. If you haven't experienced both of them you probably won't really notice it but the Pro X's feel a little less sparkly in the sound, but they do feel a little more "full" in general.

Some other people here will recommend the other models that are open backs, that's your choice at the end of the day. I prefer closed back headphones personally, but the open backs tend to have a "wider" feeling sound if you have good acoustics in the room you use. That's more of a music specific thing though.

>>get an ear infection from it
that's more of a you problem that the headphones.
Fucking take a shower from time to time please

>>721083098
Just EQ them into a V curve if you need excitement and color you mongoloid. How the hell do you get an ear infection from a set of headphones, exactly? Did they coof into your ear canal?

Never had any kind of infection from anything my whole life. 2 days with the chink headphones and i get the worst pain in my life

Also wtf is an eq

My left audio just cut out on my 770s. Like yesterday. I haven't had them that long. What's the chance it's fixable and probably because I damaged the wire rather than the thing actually failing outright? I've double checked settings so I think it's some kind of hardware failure.

>Also wtf is an eq
Fucking google search, or if you're too stupid to search just ask your favorite AI.

>Also wtf is an eq
you could have just wrote that exact same sentence in google and get your answer instead of wasting everybody's time here

>>721066239 (OP)
use open back unless you share a room with someone

Probably pretty likely, but fixable by you on your own? I don't know about that. If you have some experience with it then you've got nothing to lose I guess.

If I were you though I'd try to check everything else first before you go pulling it apart, if you have something else to plug it into then do that, make sure it's the headphones and not the connection/jack that's the problem.

none of you live in a loud shithole paper then wall and ceiling building where you can hear every move from every faggot around you + whatever nog bullshit outside. lucky you.

>>721084349
Open a support case with Beyerdynamic for repair; they'll let you know where the closest approved repair shop is near you for you to ship your headphones. If it's just the wire itself or a connection that needs to be re-soldered it shouldn't cost more than ~$70-80 USD. If it's the driver it will likely be more, but these headphones have been in production going on 4 decades and are a studio staple - replacement parts are still readily available.

>>721085227
Plus if you haven't had them that long they're probably still under warranty.

>>721084669
Even if you share a room use open backs. Closed back headphones are inferior in every way beyond sound isolation.

I would hope so. I got my AD700 for like 120 euros back then.

>>721066384
I literally make all of my money doing voiceover from home and I have been using my 770s to do so for god knows how long. You're fat and ugly and read that from /mu/ (redundant)

>>721083647
Thanks for that info anon. I think I'm sold on the 770 Pro X's since they have a detachable cable. Hopefully the German quality will last a long time.

level up your gaming game you poors

>>721066239 (OP)
>>721081352
>They and Sennheiser are the only ones that build anything to last
they literally have a fixed cable, it's a failure point. i've had two dt770's, both failed after a couple of years each due to the cable breaking. that's not built to last, mth m50x are the better option for that price. the cable will also eventually break, but it detaches and comes with 2 spares and you can always just buy new cables instead of a whole new unit.

>>721081352
I bought a DT 770 last year and the cheap plastic where you adjust the bands snapped in half while I was wearing them. Built to last my ass.

>>721081352
Idk, mine zapped me slightly the other day and the right side got fucked

>>721066384
imagine actually talking shit about one of the most reliable and goated headphones in all of eternity. sucks to be you, faggot

>>721085367
Are open backs more comfortable? I find I feel a pressure build up before long with my closed backs and have to take breaks

Top shit.

>>721087804
>mine zapped me
why are you lying anon? those headphones work at 5V DC 20mA if you use a 250ohm. It's literally impossible to feel that.
You only start feeling electric "zaps" at like 9V 100mA or so

>>721083098
By far the most shilled headphones on the internet.

sdf

i dont think i can go back to anything else

noise cancelling + wireless 2.4ghz for the gaming pc while on BT for the work laptop at the same time and it just werks and combines both audios

its kinda crazy
the batteries need to be replaced every year or 2 because the capacity goes to half but other than that i cannot see how you can get any better than these

why is everyone on this site rich?

I use hyperx Cloud 3, they're alright I guess. I'm not very particular about sound and I got them as a gift so eh

>>721088049
Yes, typically, unless you're getting a massive open back planar that will be uncomfortable due to the weight or shitty headband design (Hifiman).
>>721087584
Mod them to accept a detachable cable then. It's not a highly skilled job, just something to cut the cups with, the parts, and a soldering iron is all you need, and like an hour of time max if you've never done it before.
>>721087709
>Built to last
As in replacement and repair parts are abundantly available and the design itself is user serviceable. Same thing goes for the Sennheiser HD6x0 series. Just buy whatever parts you need wholesale and fix them yourself or get warranty work done by Beyerdynamic.

>>721067207
Just get a 20 dollar usb mic unless you're doing voice work cheap mics work perfectly fine

>>721085367
My Dan Clark Audio NOIRE X are pretty good.

My shitty headset just cracked, and even before that, it was disconnecting randomly. And I have to unplug and plug it back again to fix this, which screws up some games, that don't get audio back until I relaunch them.

Recommend me something durable, but also cheap and from a brand I could get in my third world shithole. Nothing fancy, you /mu/ and /g/ faggots.

>>721088616
>$735
You better be fucking happy with it

>>721066239 (OP)
Got this a couple of years ago. They are especially good for FPS games

Philips Fidelio X2 of course

i use $3 flat earbuds, got like 20 of them stashed. one lasts me about a year before the cable gives out

Incredible. I can't believe I only now got into open-backs. Never again closed backs, they are awful.

>>721066448
If you play competitive multiplayer where knowing sound direction is crucial then I don't recommend them. Other than that you can use them for anything and they don't break. I've dropped mine violently when the cord gets stuck on stuff multiple times

>>721066239 (OP)
Get 990s instead unless you live with your parents and desperately need closed headphones.

>>721069746
I have these but honestly EDC Pro beats these in every way. Cannot recommend unless you love thin sounding trash

I really would like a pair of LCD2 classics but man that cost.

>>721070753

They're a great pair of headphones, but they're much better for studio and sound editing work because they're very neutral sounding without punching up the bass or the treble.
That doesn't mean they're bad for video games or other media because the soundstage is fantastic for closed ear and the bass is still noticeably present.

People tend to want their bass blown out for some reason when playing video games because it makes sfx like gunshots sounds chunkier, but in my experience it makes everything else like ambient noise or speech very muddy or inaudible.

Enjoy the quality headphones you purchased knowing they're about 9999x better than any 'gaming headset' you could have bought for double or even triple the price.

>having shit in your ears all day

lol
>>721070225
its mostly troll posts
i decided to see whats the hype around about the best reviewed couple hundred $ iems and every singlo one was shit
dunno what the call it, sounds stage or some shit, its awful, it feels like you have shit in your ears, playing fps games is pure cancer

but mostly its just very very uncomfortable after a while, especially if you are like me, you have a standing desk and move a lot

>>721066239 (OP)
This one i recently bought, pretty good.

>>721066239 (OP)
they're shit for vidya, voices sound like they come out of a cave and sound effects like sword hits sound muffled.
not recommended

>>721094574
Sound stage would be a suitable term. Anyway most IEMs are meme pushed by influencers to hype the latest Drop X Moonflower cunny sakura edition IEM that fixes all of the issues FOR REAL THIS TIME TRUST ME GUISE BUY IT IN THE GROUP BUY BEFORE STOCK GOES. Every month or so is a new wave of totally organic hype that vanishes once the product launches and the holy prophet crinicale has said buy it. None of these get discussed further once people realise they are kinda shit but then the next hype cycle starts.

Flip it the other way good headphones still get discussed and some have been in production for over a decade because they do what they do well, even if that sound profile is not for you (the DT770's are a prime example).

>>721066428
this, I got mine around the same time. I can't recommend them enough (needs an amp tho)

>>721096195
>>721095852

Audio-Technica M30x

>>721070753
Because they are. They are V shaped. High bass and high treble but low mids. You want mids unless you're a nigger who doesn't listen to metal or classical. Get a pair of hd599, like a real white man.

>>721066239 (OP)
I have that, it's ok
I only wish it had better bass, feels like it lacks that rumbly oomph

>>721070887
some shitty fifo idk

>>721071714
gaming headset just means "good mids" aka any headphone worth its salt

>>721096060
guess so, i legit went with the most shilled shit last year by every big youtube audiophile, got myself 4 sets, and used each one once or twice
wanted to use them for vr, but ended up running quest 3 default speakers, they are decent enough
at this point i have a pile of heaphones, earbuds, iems i dodnt even use
but dont worry, im now ordering open earbuds, those that look like faggy earings since apparently now some have decent audio
i didnt learn my lesson, though even with worse audio i will be fine with something that dosnt annoy me

>>721096725
all a meme

>>721096753
Planar drivers have that deep subbass rumble, not so much initial slam like in dynamic drivers
