Headphone recommendations
| Is your primary focus music, gaming or something else? What's your price range?
| >>1046497 What this person said. I can recommend some good monitoring headphones but they would be terrible for on the go listening. Pretty good for music production and gaming, but they’re a lil heavy and the long curly ass cable would get in the way of you were on the move.
They’re the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro monitoring headphones. Fairly flat sound so you’ll hear the music as it was mixed with no boost to any frequency range. I use cheap IEMs from China for mobile listening tho.

Primary focus general use while on my desktop [gaming, music, VC, etc]. I already have something else for for going out or on the move.
I do like to go to sleep with headphones on, so that's why I would prefer wireless and confort. I also have long hair and cables don't mix well with that.
For the price range, I would prefer something not too expensive. But I could go for up to $100.
| KSC75 they sound good and are cheap. problem is their cheap; the cables are shit. try em if you're up for a mmcx mod.
| Sex headphones earfuck!!
| >>1046501 I would recommend just having a seperate IEM/bluetooth earbuds and then a nice set of headphones with a DAC for a optimal experience,but if it has to be all in one, and wireless,then the Soundcore Q45's are pretty good,so should whatever Audio-Technica's fit within your budget. Check sound graphs and profiles before buying. If you can find Sony WH-1000XM4s on sale, they are absolutely worth it, they're better than the XM5s. Unfortunately 2.4ghz headphone are rare nowadays
| >>1046507 Alternative: Koss Porta Pro's, they're also very good value for money, the cables are also shit but a little better than the KSC75s, mine lasted me around 3 years and then I decided I would just get IEMs with replaceable cables
| Porta Pro like above.
KSC75 are no go when you're wearing glasses.
| I've had mine for 5 years now and I still haven't replaced my cable. It's easy to solder tho.
| Thanks for all the recommendations!
I'll check them all out and see which I end up choosing.
I mentioned wireless being a preference, but cable is honestly fine. I should've mentioned that I already have a set of wireless bone conduction headphones for work and walks. They are the Shokz OpenRun... which I only got because I needed something with no sound cancelling, and I got a good deal on them. But they are definitively overpriced imo.

i mean, if you go with a mmcx mod, you could use one of those bluetooth ones if a wire between the headphones doesn't bother you (or maybe even hide it compleatly depending**)

| My current ones are dying and I'm not sure what's good anymore.
I'm looking for something comfortable that covers the entire ears if possible. And decent sound quality. Mic is not needed as I have an external one already. If it's wireless [not bluetooth, but the one with the little dongle] better!
If you can help me you'll have my most sincere gratitude. :3c
