> They’re priced high, but they’re actually worth it. Worth having more than 1 set. Switching between my Beyerdynamic, AudioTechnica, (old) AKG and some surprisingly good open-back Superlux keeps it fresh for me. Like, if I play Europa Universalis and I want to hear the seagulls better (weird Norwegian kink) I just put on the Superlux. If I want less fatigue/strain for, say, grinding out a new league on Path of Exile, I use the Beyerdynamics. If I want to blast Eurobeat while playing Rocket League I don the AudioTechnicas. And the old AKG HSC171s (of which I have two) come out when I want to really bring out the music and voiceovers in a short (emphasis on short, because they're HEAVY) session of a more artful singleplayer game. The latter are practically undrivable without a good headphone amplifier though, they're broadcast equipment afterall
