What headphones do you folks use?
Hi!
Just in the market for a new pair of wired headphones, as my current ones are pretty... Questionable for gaming purposes.
Like, they're VERY good for a pair I scavenged out of the draw (and were free in the first place) but they rarely pick up on audio that comes from behind me in game.
So I was wondering what headphones you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Steelseries for me, they've been some of the best headphones that I've had...and they have various price points in their range as well. I remember a thread by Mad Cat some time ago and I think they were going to purchase the Arctic 7's which come really highly recommended.
Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro
really good noise cancelling and it makes it easier to notice direction audio
Razer. Forgot the exact model name but it comes with interesting 3d sounds. Perfect for dbd.
HyperX Cloud II. Reasonably affordable good quality wired headset that comes with a removable mic. It's not top of the line, you can go for more expensive ones. But I don't see the need.
I've got Brainwavz Memory Foam earpads, replacing the hyper x II ones though because I found the original ones a bit uncomfortable. I really recommend these earpads for any headset they'll fit on, so comfy.
I just get the cheapo turtle beach headphones for like 50 dollars they work fine for me and this last pair has lasted for a couple years now
I use a pair of Sennheiser hd280 pro but I am thinking of upgrading to a 7.1 surround pair, as despite being qquite expensive the Sennheiser headphones are only stereo and am wondering if the 3d heaphones provide a better experience in games like this.
HyperX Cloud Alpha S. Really good Noise Cancelling. cant hear that yet engine of a Laptop im using
I also purchased Steelseries, definitely my favorite by far.
I have the Arctis Wireless myself.
For OP's sake, there is a wired version of the Arctis with higher fidelity audio, but I have no complaints with the Arctis Wireless myself, sounds fantastic for me.
I'm thinking of going wireless as I keep falling over the cable as I have my headphones on all day
Corsair HS60. Really good and comfortable. Decent microphone.
Sennheiser GSP 600. Really happy with it, changing the pads can be a bit frustrating the first time and that's pretty much the only complaint I can think of.
I use the Status Audio SAANC-FS Flagship ANC Headphones. They aren't wired, but do have the ability to go wired (cable included). I've used them on Xbox, switch, PS5, laptop and on my phone, I like the sound quality a lot, and really love the battery life, which appears to be something around like 40-100 hours. (I'm not kidding, I fly twice a week, listening to music for 6-8 hours at a time, play PS5 in the hotel for 3 hours a night all week, and still only charge them once a month) I cannot recommend them highly enough for just about anything you need headphones for.
Astro a10 ain't bad for a $60 pair. Good for its price, clear mic too
Mmm, yes been looking at Steelseries since I heard of them in one of DyllonKG's vids. They look like a good price range too, for the good reviews I've heard.
I'm wireless! I use Logitech G733. Great quality, bluetooth, and I can run all over the house and still keep tabs on when the queue pops. Very great for multitasking.
Razer Kraken for me. Comfortable and sound great.
I use Sony WH-CH710N
I run them wired, but they also have bluetooth functionality. The sound quality and build quality is pretty nice. They do cost 149USD though so a bit on the pricey side.
I used to use a steelseries headset, but I found the wire got in the way all of the time, so I switched to a Razer Nari Wireless headset.
Razer BlackShark v2.0
Alienware 410H
Hey all, just to say - thank you for all your comments.
I'm going to look into every type listed here, as there's quite a bit I haven't heard of yet.
