Beyerdynamic - MMX 100

Getting something in the audiophile approved space is an option but they usually lack features you’re going to want without figuring it out yourself ie driving them, proper sound signature, mic etc. I would recommend you look at something like steelseries Arctis pros. They aren’t going to sound amazing for music . But to be honest, I don’t know how realistic it is to find immersive headphones for gaming that make music sound great. It’s very subjective and most audiophiles in this sub have several separate pairs for listening to ranges of music. I would recommend any you look at you should listen to the microphone as that’s typically where you run into cheaping out. Arctis pros, mmx Beyerdynamic’s or even the new astros are going to sound good for what you’re looking for. They are also easy to resell or return if you don’t like them since you can get them from amazon. If you want ones for music you are going to need to buy a separate pair and find what sound signature you enjoy. I have tried dt770s which get recommended a lot but you’ll need a separate mic and even running them without an amp is iffy. Maxwells get recommended as well but they are heavy and may be uncomfortable and I don’t think the mic is very good. It’s important to note you can always adjust eq with things like sonar where people have pre made eq for the kinds of games you like. From my personal experience, Astros, Arctis pros are probably the only gaming headsets I would pay anywhere near 300 for but if you don’t mind the heft you can get the maxwells. If you want an IEM you’ll want something like zero reds or blues I prefer reds, but you won’t have a mic and most mic cables are kinda ass so your better off running a dedicated desk mounted microphone.
