Audio Technica M50x. Mine are 15 years old. They’re not listed as sweat proof, but they haven’t had issues.
r/Deathcore • Need a headphone that can blast deathcore and survive the gym ->I use Audio Technica's M50X. It's similar quality, works well with mixers, cancels enough sound to matter, and it's usually 100ish during black friday. The only annoying thing is getting a replacement cable. The included cables are great, but the replacements you'll find are just not as good.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->My Audio Technica MH50x has outlived at least 4 gaming headsets in about 10 years.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->Im a heavy user or just unlucky then, i guess. I got mine 3 years ago, and both my hinges are broken and now held together by tape/zipties. Pads are well worn-out too.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->Audio technica m40x or m50x. Ear pads are replaceable (temu) and you can cover the head band with sleeve. Over ear and great sound
r/Beatmatch • Best headphones for DJing? ->Glad someone mentioned the Audio-Technica brand. My M50xSTS USB are still going strong and showing no signs of imminent death. And the microphone quality is TV-broadcasting-level great.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->In ear or over ear? IEMs might be the way to go if you really want wired. I wouldn't do on-ear. If you want over ear I would look for smaller closed back headphones with good clamping force, in the garbage tier of sound quality since you'll be beating them up, like Bose/Skullcandy/Sony. If you want over ear you probably want a single sided cable as well. The AudioTechnica m40/m50 family sound great, look terrible and have a terrible build so they're good to beat up, and have a single sided cable, but they might not have the clamping force you want.
r/headphones • Wired Headphones for workouts ->7506 and m50x are pretty mediocre for consumer sound they are the initial step up into audiophile but most things above them are far better. Some people swear by them mostly FR chasing freaks but their technicalities are pretty meh. If you try something like Fiio ft1 and still dislike them then I'd say you like open backs.
r/headphones • What headphone do you always find yourself going back to? ->Not really an expert, but I've read good things about SteelSeries headsets, which, from a quick Wikipedia search, is a Danish company. This was a few years ago, when I was searching for myself, but I've seen good reviews about their [Arctis Nova line](https://steelseries.com/arctis-nova) (either the Arctis Nova 7 or Arctis Nova Pro). It might be a good starting point, for you to look at. I've been using an Audio-Technica (ATH-M50xSTS) headset for the past year, which I'm fairly happy about. Pretty good mic and sound quality, but it's a Japanese company and not optimized for gaming, so might not be what you are looking for. (Edit: added link and better formating)
