DT 900 PRO X

I use Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X headphones and a Røde NT1 XLR microphone on a boom arm

I didn't have any of the new ones, but I had the wired version a few years back. Sound was not amazing... But I used them, then the ear cushion started flaking badly, and seeing there were basically no replacements. (0 from Logitech, idk if that changed since) I moved onto beyerdynamic DT900 PRO X. And honestly, it was like going from the beige plastic old PC speakers, to IMAX audio... I'm now always recommending good headphones, with an external mic, if someone asks. Also the beyerdynamic MMX series is pretty good.

Maybe a Beyer 900 pro x. Semi-open, good imaging, natural stage. Also, designed to be plugged into mixing equipment; very easy to power A 560s is also a great starter option. They have better sound separation than the Beyer, but the imaging is less precise. You can find them for half the price of a Beyer, but you will need to invest in amplification, so the price works out to about the same For a closed back option, the Ft1 is the current pound-for-pound budget king If it was my money: I would skip the 560s and go for an HD 550 (better drivers, better tuning, better comfort), and pair that with an entry level signal chain. The Magni Piety is my top pick in the $200 range, but good luck finding one as they're out of stock year-round. A next-best option would be something like a Schiit Fulla

To me DT 770 Pro X are almost uncannily comfy. Same with DT 900 Pro X. I feel that they're there, but they don't interfere at all. Same with FT1 Pro with thicker/firmer leather pads: slightly increased clamp, decreased headband pressure. They're there, they're weighty, but they don't bother me.

I have the 900 DT Pro, it’s one of my 3 go to phones
