Last week I bought a pair of the Sony's and it took 60 seconds to realize to me they didn't sound anywhere near as good as my VMODA crossfade 2's. Returned them. Don't know what to get now.
Lately been rocking Sony WH-1000XM3's, but now switched back to V-Moda Crossfade II and was blown away how good they are for electronic music in general.
V-MODA CROSSFADE 2 WIRELESS or V-MODA CROSSFADE 3 WIRELESS If the TV or the external amplifier haves Bluetooth these work great. If the content originates on the phone and is cast to the TV equipped with bluetooth it will be the best of both worlds.
V-MODA Crossfade-2. Some tips: You'll want to pick up an aftermarket modification for the earcups as the ones they come with don't provide the best padding, especially for long sessions. As far as BIFL goes, they're made by a company whose primary business is manufacturing headsets for the US Military. Durability is their first, middle, and last name. I have a pair and I can tell you that "military grade" is not an exaggeration. Had em for almost a decade (they don't even make the version I have anymore), dropped them 1000s of times, a friend dropped a sofa on the headband, and while it did break a chunk off, it still does the job well. The worst thing that happened was one of the screws holding the driver/earcup to the headband sheared off, but the company mailed me a repair kit free of charge. They're still holding strong to this day. Low latency, high quality, and most of the headsets have a wire-mounted microphone. Alternately, Sennheiser has dedicated gaming headsets. Although I do have growing concerns as to the brand's pivot in recent years, I have yet to be disappointed by their durability and build quality. I've owned, over the years, multiple HD518s and HD598s, and am currently geared out with an HD800 headset and an e835 microphone routed into a Yamaha Mix8/Onkyo HT-RC260. At bottom, if you want a good system that's going to put in the work and last a long while, stick to trusted, legacy brands that have an emphasis in pro-grade audio (talking things that actual audio engineers and concert halls use, or, with V-MODA, the US Military as well as top-grossing EDM producers & DJs). The second note is that the more features you add to a system, the more points of failure you introduce into it. Buy a microphone, a stand, and a simple Focusrite Scarlett 2 Channel interface. That way if one component of your signal chain malfunctions, it's far easier to troubleshoot and/or replace parts, and doesn't completely cripple you by having one single point of failure.
V-Moda Crossfade Wireless 2 Codex Edition It's like feeling home, I know I'll just be listening and enjoying.
Literally just opened mine like 10 minutes ago, they sound pretty good but I have a habit of wearing my headphones to death, since I wear them probably more than 50% of the time. How has yours held up to use? My last headphones were a set of Vmoda Crossfade wireless and I had to upgrade since over the last two+ years the spring steel band snapped in them from fatigue putting them on and taking them off
