Sennheiser - HD 569

Plus 1 for the Maxwells, I mean you can get low profile adapters for sennheiser headphones specifically the hd6xx series. Tempted to try it out of sheer curiosity cus they're less then $30 but I also dont need it lol. I'd use it on my HD569's imo they have way better build quality (even if there's less metal) comfort and no excentuated treble compared to the byers, and they're cheaper

Yo ando con los HyperX Cloud II y estan barbaros. Para la calle uso unos Senheisser HD 569 que estan zarpados tambien.

Disregarding old over ear noise canceling cans i had years and years ago, 1. Fiio ft1. Its genuinely just amazing for the price. Nothing to sharp in the treble, decent enough mids that my ears (with abiut and hour of listening so far) dont pick out any issues, and the bass while the audio is there, bass heads like myself may feel it has less impact as a planar, and speakers obviously rival even good headphone bass impact. Its textured and clear. 2. Sjy horizon closed carbon There is a vocal forwardness to this set, has a decent little bass bump that I enjoy and the "detail" treble, is extended, I will say the headband, like the omega, kinda sucks. Its too big, very little clamp and doesn't feel secure, they are fairly heavy, there is also several songs that have a loud snap or crack sound, mostly edm if that helps because I couldn't pinpoint the frequency range myself, that comes across as very snappy and loud to my ears. Its there in the song with other sets but it doesn't hurt my ears the way this set does, if I could find the damn frequency and tone it down a few db I would enjoy it much more at my listening level. Detail retrieval is excellent and competitive with the noire x from dca. 3. The noire x from dca is very detailed, clean clear and sibalant on certain peoples heads including my own, the esses?? "S" while watching the headphoneshows closed back tier list was so bad I sent them back after a week. Its now a "test track" for things that may have an issue for me. Very comfy cans and if the amts works with your ears they will be a great pair, how ever the bass is there but doesn't lead to very much punch, kick, slam whatever term tickles your brain. Someone else i heard speak about the dynamic range, which I onky have a limited understanding of currently. 4. Hd569 To me the graphs seemed decent for the 60 bucks I paid, there not great. I've genuinely listened to them maybe an hour and 5 mins was actually listening and the rest was trying to eq them to sound more pleasant. I have very little impressions of the actual sound of them im sorry. They would be decent with someone who doesn't wear glasses, wants to eq them a little and is willing to buy open box. At the msrp, I rec the fiio ft1 much more.

PC360, PC370 and 38 owner here too They’re not lifetime but should do 5-8 years which is a long time for any gaming peripheral. The micro switch that mutes the mic when raising it tends to fail. Also some rubbery coatings especially on the DROP model wear and fade quite a bit with time.

Sennheiser hd569 or any other closed back headphone paired with a modmic.

they go down till 5k on sales... got mine for 5k... it sounds better to me than my senheisser 569 SE's

As a fellow Junglist I completely agree, good bass without messing up the clarity of the mids and highs is absolutely key. I’m just using some Senny HD569 but for the price I think they’re fantastic. Definitely do EQ the bass up a little bit though! I only use them at home, out and about and at work I’m using some pretty basic Sony WI-C310. Battery lasts a long time, good bass, water resistant, they get the job done. Alix Perez is doing a one hour liquid set on rinse FM later today (10pm BST / 5PM eastern as I’m in Toronto) should be some immaculate vibes d-_-b

Totally look into some real HEADPHONE brands, not Headsets. Gaming \*anything\* is usually overpriced, low quality and just jacked up with RGB for no reason. It really depends on how much your willing to spend but Sennheiser's has some great lower-priced headphones that sound awesome. I'm using the Sennheiser HD569s and I picked them up on sale for like 170-200 dollars AUD and they sound amazing for a lower price ranged piece of headwear from a great brand. For 'gamer' brands, I really don't know whats good anymore. I used to use these crappy Razer headsets that kept breaking on me, went through 4 different pairs until i got my Sennheiser's and they've been great ever since. Defo look up some reviews or recommendations, or tier lists on Youtube for your specific case-use I can recommend the HD569s or the HD599 or 599 SE. But I have NO IDEA how these fair on controllers, I'm a PC gamer personally and simply found this brand and these headphones to work great for me, whilst being relatively lower priced. IEMs are also good too but I've never looked closely into them. When it comes to Mic's, it might be better for you to get a standalone mic but I can understand how that would be annoying.

If you don't need a microphone, I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD569 are great closed back. If you need a microphone, the PC38x are amazing, but they are open back which some people may not like if they have noises around them.

I listen in the office so I went with the closed back 569s. I enjoyed them so much I bought a second pair for home as well. OC is right. Just get a nice quality set of headphones with a flat-ish response and let the mix do the work.
