Using a Bose 700 on popOS with bluetooth, works perfectly.

rioft , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I’m using the Moondrop Aria Snow. Not to expensive, and they sound pretty good if you ask me.

creed10 , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I have the astro A40s. the mixamp doesn’t seem to work on arch with both outputs, but you can always get just the headphones without the mixamp.

the A50s are wireless, which implies there’s no mix amp

I have a pair of Senheiser HD6xx from Drop.com. It’s basically a pair of HD600s with slightly cheaper plastic and bare bones packaging. They have the exact same drivers as the 600s. These cans have been famous for decades with good reason, as they give the perfect balance of low, mid, and high end.

They’re a bit pricey at around $230, and you’ll also need a great amplifier to power it. You can always go with a decent $99 desktop amp or you can shell out $300 on a high quality DAC+AMP. I have the Audient ID14, and everything sounds FANTASTIC. I can turn up the music super loud and still have head room.

TLDR; Drop.com Senheiser HD6xx with an Audient i14 to power them. Overkill for casual listening, perfect value for audiophiles.

I use the drop/sennheiser HD 58X which are very similar, but do not need any special equipment to drive. While I prefer the hd600 sounds, for just gaming the 58X are very similar for a little less and without need for an amp

I’m using a Sennheiser HD598 and a Blue Snowball for a usb mic - had great success with both!

Heastes , in Baldur's Gate 3?

Funny you checked protondb for the previous ones, but not BG3 itself. It’s out in early access, people have been playing the early acts for a while now.

It’s rated gold. www.protondb.com/app/1086940/

I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)

d3ceived , in The Linux coders turning the ROG Ally and other handhelds into Steam Deck clones

There are good things to be said about the Ally, but I find the soon-to-be-released GPD handhelds more interesting. Both are officially stated to support SteamOS (which means plain Arch and possibly other distros should also work great) and offer something different from the Deck and Ally in that the GPD Win4 is much more compact, and the GPD Max 2 has a much larger display.

chanunnaki ,

I’ve got both the Max 2 and Win 4 in the 6800U versions and I use the Steam deck substantially more than either of them simply because I actually cannot stand Windows

d3ceived ,

Why not install SteamOS or plain Arch Linux on the GPD devices then?

mhz , in Part 4 of the Wine work for Wayland is now merged

It would be cool if Valve released a native Steam wayland by the time this gets in proton.

Nibodhika , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I have used aSoundcore Q30, a Soundcore A40 (these are earphones, so not sure if they fit here), Sony XM2 and XM4, and currently I'm using an Astro A50 that I got from work (mostly because of the microphone). The XM4 are the best by far but not very gamey, I wouldn't buy the A50, not think they're worth the price.

estebanium , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I use an AKG K702 with Easy Effects.

Protegee9850 , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

Sony MDR-7506 wired into a Focusrite dac; the tried and true pair that radio stations across the world have used for years and years.

Gaming headphones are pretty bad, generally. I use Beyerdynamic DT-880s.
