In that $ range, I would have to go with the Sennhesier HD6XX or a pair of reburb HD600 off the Sennheiser Outlet Store. FYI: I'm a huge Sennheiser fan just to let you know. I would also have to include the very solid Fiio FT3 in that group. I'm not really a big fan of ribbons yet so I won't even try. I also own a older pair of ATH AD900x and while it's really detailed, it lacks sub bass than modern music needs to have and also can have sibilance on some recordings. If you have a bass boost option, that might not be a problem. I've never heard a pair of the R70x, but I have never seen a bad review on one. \*\*\* As always, headphones are all about personal preferrence, get a demo or a return policy if at all possible.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • What are the best sounding open-back headphones for music listening? <300$ (USA) ->I have sennheiser 650 HD and audio technica ath ad900x. You can’t go wrong with either of them. I’ve had them for years
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->As someone who has owned the HE400SE before, the timbre is pretty strange and they're quite uncomfortable, not to mention the build quality. 560S, DT880 if EQ, AD900X, X2HR are all better options (I have owned all of these at some point).
r/headphones • The Fiio FT1 Changes How I Think about IEM's ->Any Audio Technica. They're super light and open. I've used my old AD900X for >4 hour sessions pretty regularly.
r/headphones • Most comfy headphones for long computer work sessions? ->Planars are great. But if gaming is your main criteria, stick with dynamic drivers. Beyerdynamic 9 series (900 pro X, 990 pro, 1990 pro) Sennheiser 600 series ( hd600, 650, 660, 660s, 660s2, and including the 490pro) and 500 series ( hd560s is one of the most recommended options for gaming around here), Some of the audio technica ath-ad models. Specifically for competitive fps games, these are pretty much the best options out there at reasonable prices. Adding an amp like the Fiio k5 you mentioned is also a good idea with most of these. I personally like Sennheiser more because I listen to more music than I play video games, but I occasionally get called a cheater in r6 with my old hd600 + Fiio k11. If you don’t care about music or other media, the beyers should technically be even better.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Best gaming headphones that doesn't need amp ->I agree. I also went with the ad900x often because they're more comfortable for me
r/headphones • What headphone do you always find yourself going back to? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
