Sennheiser HD 25 replacement ?
I really recommend Audio Technica ATH-R50x. Just got one of these and they do sound amazing!

Iso closed back headphones for recording bass covers but also for everyday use
You only really need closed-back headphones for recording vocals. This is because open-back headphones will have too much sound escaping from the headphones that then gets picked up by the microphone that's only 5-10 inches in front of the vocalist. When you are recording bass or electric guitar, wh

HD 480 Pro
Oh yes, I am newer to the hobby but I have compared back and forth my couple of inexpensive open backs with the momentum 4, a couple of earbuds and IEMS I understand we shouldn’t compare passive to active headphones, but when talking specifically about what sounds better, that shouldn’t matter. For

Proper headphone such as Audio Technica ATH-R50X or Sennheiser HD560s is miles better. But cod has shitty audio design, good headphones can't fix that

saran headset wireless dibawah 2 juta
2,5 juta - Audio Technica R50X - Wah ini sangat cakep. compared to hd560s lebih ada air nya. tapi fittingnya jauh lebih enak. less swivel error, walau earcupnya agak lebih kecil dari hd560s entah kenapa lebih enak aja. lekukan bahan padsnya. dan padding headbandnya juga better. Ini di bawah R70x yaa

My first pc
Good mouse, i.e. ATK A9 Ultra/F1 Ultimate, MCHOSE A7 Ultra/L7 Ultra, Scyrox V6/V8. Good starter mousepad such as the Xraypad Aqua Control/C+/C2 which are also available as deskpads. LGG/Artisan/LaOnda is the next step-up from there. Good headphones such as the Philips Fidelio X2HR, Hifiman HE400SE,

Headphones primarily for music, 200-250 range?
You might want to consider the Audio Technica R50x headphone ($150 to $170 US) with OEM Replacement R70x pads ($30) which do fit, but are a bit roomier. That is one of the set ups that I have and it sounds great.

HD 650, FiiO FT1 ou Px8 S2? Ajuda para não ser redundante no meu setup
Peguei um Audio Technica R50X recentemente. Muitas reviews botando ele como alternativa ao HD 560s (e não ao 650). Peguei na Amazon, revenda oficial, envio nacional e estou MUITO satisfeito. Além do som excepcional, achei que ele tinha mais graves que o HD 560S sem perder a neutralidade e tecnicalid

Looking for a gaming headset, but I am honestly a bit lost on this one. Budget: 100-300 dollars/Euro.
If you already have a seperate microphone, why not look into a proper audiophile headphone instead? They offer much better sound quality. Look for sennheiser hd560s, hd505, hd600, hd6xx or audio technica ath-r50x, r70xa or fiio FT1 pro, FT3

HyperX Cloud II is overrated.
Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R, Audio Technica ATH-R50X, Sennheiser HD560S, AKG K7xx, Philips Fidelio X2HR are all better than any headset at any price. Hell, even cheap Superluxes outperform most gaming headsets
