Update on my headphones comment from yesterday, I ordered the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x. Less than 200 bucks so not that expensive all things considered. I've never used open back headphones before but they probably suit my needs better since I prioritize comfort and don't care much for noise cancelat

Any people here who use open back headphones? Looking to get my first pair and wondering what’s suitable for prog

Over the last 15 or more years I owned quite a few open back headphones. I owned the HD650, AKG K-612, Audio Technica ATH-R70x, Philips 9500.

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

After almost 10 years, my ATH-M50x finally died... looking for an upgrade (490 Pro vs 660S2)

Get the Audio Technica R50x headphones ($150 US) and a pair of the OEM R70x pads ($30). You’ll love the sound and it’s not nearly as expensive as the other headphones you’re considering.

I got a Sony XM6 and I am in tears

XM6 is not the best sounding BT headphone in it's price range. Meanwhile something that's 3x cheaper like Sennheiser HD599 or Audio Technica ATH-R50X will blow away in soundstage and clarity, not even considering more expensive ones.
