Sennheiser - HD 660S

I'm not a fan of any brand, but they are some that I respect. Sennheiser for it's quality, especially on open back headphones but senny come on man, experiment with an open back that has proper bass extension and no 660s is not that, think of 560s with a little bit more bass presence and less glare. Or not, Aeribus Acustics would love to eat your cake. Hifiman for it's driver design; say whatever you want for the QC or the build quality which I agree they feel like egg shells; zero flex and ready to shatter but man those earcups are just the best. And those massive drivers... it truly makes a difference.  But they need to brainstorm about the headband design; I'm not a big fan of those massive fork style headbands, an hd800s-esque design would have been better. 

I use the Sennheiser HD 660s (I got mine for $250 on deep discount) with a Schiit Fulla 2 DAC/Amp. When playing games I prefer the open soundstage with open back headphones. It’s not for everyone, but I’ve been loving it for the past 5 years. It’s also for me listening and producing music as well Also, never spend $1k for just gaming. That much is if you’re a true audiophile and want to listen to uncompressed music. 300-400 total for both headphone and amp is all you need.

It's really hard to find a quality open back, wireless over ear headphone in my experience. I have a pair of HD 660S's which are amazing but they're wired. I'm going to get hate for this but I just use my latest gen airpods and they work great. I don't play hell let loose but I play Halo and my airpods are pretty good at picking up footsteps.

Honestly using a pair of good Bluetooth headphones with ldac will sound great but wired is always better unless you use aptx lossless what's pretty dam close but you can get some very nice Bluetooth dac amps like the fiio btr5 or btr 15 fiio also make great iems and some very good headphones Genuinely you can get nice USB c dacs For your phone some by hidiz or hibby or fiio as the btr 15 and 5 both can be used as a USB dac and Bluetooth Alot of price ranges you can get a pretty good USB c dac for 100 to 200 pound and great quality earphones or headphones for around 150 to 400 If you want a more dedicated setup you could go for a dap a Digital Audio Player there are a many good ones from hibby and fiio with a price range from 500 to 1000 thses players run android but have powerful headphone amps and high quality dacs in with the ability to expand storage to 1000s of gbs 1tb personally I use the hibby HiBy R6III what's currently. On sale for 350 pound I use a plethora. Of headphones and iems from the HD 660s from Sennheiser to the hd 620s 558s 559 to fiio iems and Cambridge audio Bluetooth iems I'd be happy to help you out with any questions you have my my apologies for my terrible grammar I'm legally blind so it's pretty hard to see on a phone

Skip Sennheiser. I've had the 660s, 650, 6XX, 600 and the 800s (twice). The Arya is much better then the 800s and theres a massive gap between the 800s and the 6 series headphones.

hd660s. I love both its strength as well as its weaknesses, making it my favourite pair of gears

Gaming branded stuff is generally overpriced for what you get. You're paying for the convenience of an integrated mic and RGB lights. Id get a good set of normal headphones and an Antlion mic. They're small mics that attach to headphones with a speedball type mount. Its a great mic and it works with any headphones! I have the HD660 from Sennheiser and the Antlion Mod Mic Wireless and like it a lot.

Keep the airpods as your easy to use Bluetooth set, and spend your money on some really good wired cans. Perhaps Sennheiser HD660s.

I use my HD660s for reference and these APMs for fun. Fantastic product.

Ahh my two favourites are definitely grado sr60x and hifiman sundaras. Idk why but that treble in the grados is just so nice for so much of my music, and I really enjoy the super light on-ear feel. Then the sundaras are absolutely my most used headphones, by far. They are always at my desk and these days even next to my bed. If I’m being honest my sundaras don’t do anything that is particularly mind-blowing but I just love the sound so much. The build quality is terrible and the cable they came with got swapped out immediately alongside the pads, but the sound is just right. Honorable mentions go to kph40s which are the single comfiest headphones ever, I usually forget in even wearing them and they sound so ridiculously good for 30$ headphones. Then to hd660s which I keep at my desk as well, and since they are so easy to drive compared to hd600 and to my sundaras, I even used them out of my phone for years.
