Beyerdynamic - TYGR 300 R

generally you want something on the bassier side to give your sfx that rumble and body to them. whether its explosions, weapons clashing, dragons or giants thudding around. soundstage and imaging (positional audio) are also great to have. Gives you a more realistic wide sense of space and even though we're not doing fps, walking into a town and being able to tell and pick apart npc conversations or hearing something come up behind you is still great. 2 options I'd pick: closed back - fiio ft1: bassier signature, strong imaging, soundstage is abit of a mixed bag. Some people find it wide, some people find it narrow, the stock pads are quite good at isolating sound but you can swap out the pads that isolate less and give you a bigger sense of sound. These are one of the best bang for bucks in audio rn openback: tygr 300r: also bassier signature, but openback very strong imaging, very good sound stage for the price. within your budget I think these would be the most ideal openback, x2hr are good but the tygr's are a stepup in alot of areas goodluck and enjoy whatever you get

If you like Beyerdynamic, you can look into the TYGR 300R. Terrible name, but honestly really nice headphones. Very light, pretty good staging, a sound-profile that doesnt have this brain-piercing beyerdynamic-peak in the highs and is overall a pretty good allrounder. Tried out many Beyers two years ago and a few Sennheisers and that was surprisingly my favorite and workhorse since then. (I usually put a lot of distance between me and anything that is called "Gaming something something")

The best one is not labelled as the gaming headphones. They are labelled as studio monitoring headphones, that allows you to hear even a single pin drops in loud places. Go for beyerdynamics tygr300 Thank me later

sony pulse elite is wireless and much better than all the other closed back options in that price range for gaming wired open back beyerdynamic tygr 300 r if your best bet IEM you can get Kefine Delci AE under $100 even after taxes on sale($89 msrp) from aliex edit:/ also cloud 2s were never made by kingston, just marketed and sold by them, it was a takstar OEM product based on Takstar Pro 80, on cloud alphas they did some more modifications, tuned it more neutral like Takstar Hi 2050(open back) and put nicer earpads from Takstar Pro 82

I have the TYGR 300 R and love them. Super comfortable as well.

I can't say anything about the 990s but I have a 560s which I adore and use balanced of a fiio btr5. I've tried the Beyer Tygr since I gifted them to my brother and the Hd560s feels much more comfortable since the cups swivel while the Beyer's seen to just clamp straight.

I love my Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R. Relatively inexpensive and they sound really good.

While the Maxwell are the best option in their class overall, especially if audio quality is a criteria, specifically for competitive fos games you want dynamic open backs. I don’t how you would connect them to the ps5 (I’m sure they make dacs specifically for it) but check out both Sennheiser hd600 series ( which includes the hd38x, the hd490pro and several 600 variants - 600, 6xx, 650, 660, etc) and the 9 series Beyerdynamics ( dt900, 990, 1990 ). Source - me, have both Audeze and Sennheiser speakers and play a lot of fps. The Audeze are simply better for almost everything. Except footsteps in competitive fps games. Edit: just saw that you need a headset not just headphones - both Sennheiser (EPOS brand, PC and GSP series) and Beyerdynamic (MM, Tygr) have “gaming” options. You can also add audio-technica to the list too, they also have multiple options that will fit.
