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.
