I wear glasses and settled on the Corsair HS80 and HS80 MAX after experiencing absolute ear pain with my Razr Kraken. I've found the HS80 series to be quite comfortable while gaming for a few hours...

Personally i recommend 7.1 surround headsets. But not virtual ones. For example i used razer chroma 7.1 for years. I can recommend that one but razer usually has hardware issues

What do you people do with these headsets, I still have the original razer headset, then a V3 that’s served me since it came out and that gets used for over 10 hours a day, dropped about etc

Bought the Razer Kraken V3 and have been loving it ever since.

I have razer kraken wired version bc tbh I can't hear the difference between something like that and the audiophile headphones. I turned off the bass boost and it sounds great to me for what I need it for - game audio and being in voice with my friends - and I like a built in mic instead of a desktop stand mic. Background isolation seems good as it doesn't transmit my bf talking in the same room. Comfy enough to wear for 8 hours at a time also, but I dont wear glasses so if you do can't vouch for that.

I had a pair of Razer Krakens (wired) back in 2015 and they were absolutely spectacular for non gaming use. I've used a lot of flagship headphones and I still look back really fondly on the pair.

They are fine, I went from the razer V3 to these, and honestly, I prefer the logitechs. The razer had better overall sound, not by much, but the build quality sucked.

I've had 2 gaming headsets, first it was a Steelseries Siberia, then a Razer Kraken, but then I got to know someone at work who is into sound. He convinced me to buy a HD 650 and by god it was a different tier. It was so comfortable, but 5-6 years ago I've changed it to a HD 800, purely because the same friend sold it to me £500, pretty much half price and he took good care of them too.
