a few years ago I bought these cheap no name bluetooth headphones off Amazon. maybe cost me at most $30. 3 or so years later I still use them and they are by far the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever owned which is important since I wear glasses.

Other headphones I’ve had would eventually hurt because they would press the side of my frames into my head. not these. The battery lasts a LONG time too, I only charge them maybe once or twice a week and they’re usually one for 8 hours a day. The range on them is great too. I can literally walk just about anywhere in my house and still be connected to the pc. and the mic on them is surprisingly decent too.

So what brand and model is this then haha

brand is called Uliptz. can’t buy them anymore though and I can’t find them anywhere. which sucks cause I’d like to have a replacement pair lined up for when these eventually die.

I recently got myself a Teufel Zola on a sale and am really satisfied with it. It has good audio (as far as I can tell), is comfortable and looks nice.

I just replaced my headphones with a set of these …beyerdynamic.com/dt-770-pro-x-limited-edition.ht…

They’re so comfortable and sound incredible, they’re mostly intended for audio work which I do use them for but for gaming they’re so precise and clear too! Also incredibly comfy and loads of aftermarket stuff available for the dt700 pro x which are also excellent.

You’ll want a mic with these and I can also recommend this if you want a headset style mic rather than a standalone one on your desk: antlionaudio.com/collections/microphones

+1 for antlion modmic wireless. It’s idiot proof, it sounds amazing, and it lets me use my Sennheisers.

I would second getting a separate microphone/headphone instead of a combined headset.

All the headsets I owned over the years were significantly worse in audio quality and broke after a few years, usually something related to the microphone.

I went with a Sennheiser 598 with a Modmic for years, which was ok but switched to a beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro about 4 years ago.

So far my favorite out of all the headphones I owned. Very clear sound, comfortable, actually “Made in Germany”, and they still provide replacement parts on their website. Replaced my ear pads just a month ago or so.

The Modmic is decent but there is a lot of room for improvement, I was never able to find a proper alternative though.

I’ve got seinheisser 598 that are quite good, but I understood seinheisser to have been bought and maybe quality went down. I also have byerdynamic 990s that I find uncomfortable for longer periods.

I also have hifiman sundara that are (except for the cable) far and above the best headphones I’ve ever had both in comfort and sound.

There’s a person on the bapcsales Canada reddit called lifelongcaboose who seems to really know their headphones that recommended them

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned www.rtings.com/headphones

They specifically analyze headphones for comfort and audio quality among many other qualities.

They have a table view mode where you can filter down to exactly what kind of headphones you are interested in buying and then make a selection from the results set.

I just purchased a pair of these a few weeks ago, and I love them: www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/…/fidelio-x2hr

I specifically filtered down to headphones with a low latency wired connection by adding a column to the table view, and I didn’t need an included microphone.

If you must have a microphone included, the best headphones you can buy currently that have a low latency wired connection are the Astro A40’s, but they had less than stellar treble I believe. Check the detailed review.

This website is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks for sharing 🌻

I have a set of Hifiman HE1000s. A little overkill, but damn, Tetris Effect is so fun to play with these headphones.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the Koss KSC75 are a favourite since they’re compact, comfy, and sound great. Also, $20. Can’t go wrong. Great for pretty much anything with a headphone jack, like the portable audio players that everyone has in their pocket nowadays, haha! Yeah.

I tried a bunch of different gaming headsets over the years but as I got older and gave up on online games, I grabbed a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-M50 and have probably had them at least a decade now. They’re closed ear studio monitor headphones so they sound great and are comfortable with long use. I’ve replaced both the cushions and the cable and they still work great.

I think the current variant is the ATH-M50x.
