HD 800 S

The best headphones are the ones made by companies for whom audio is their specialty. Go to r/headphones , ask "what's the best gaming headphones for [insert budget]?" You will not get a single recommendation of Logitech or Razer or HyperX or similar. And for a good reason. Some of their products ar

Agree completely - The sound on the HDB 630s is incredible, particularly for anyone not biased towards consumer-tuned bass. The Sony XM series trade away detail for bass and (assume) noise cancelling. I used to run dedicated pocket/desk amps with Orivetis and Beyers, I moved to the Sony XM3 for wire

I have Sennheiser HD 800 S for professional purposes. I don’t think it can get better than that. But it’s very pricey. Edit: for personal use I have the Bose NC 700. Also really good quality. Renewed the earpads so good for a lot of more years!

Ive had my 630’s for a few weeks now. I believe the only points I agree with would be the material being left oily after use (I do a quick wipe off with my shirt and haven’t had any issues) and the gesture controls being awful, which I just disabled altogether. As far as comfort, I don’t find them “

The HD 800 S on sale new reaches near that price in the U.S, but not in Canada or Australia. Though, I am not even sure if the HD 800 S is currently in stock in North America. u/sennheiserconsumer would know more about that I assume. It's possibly a supply chain issue.

I own the 1st gen of QC Ultra and some other ANC headphones, as for wired I only own my Arya Stealth and m

Arya are bright. So depending on your age and preferences, may or may not be a good fit. Having the HD 650’s which I’ve heard are quite similar to the 490’s, Sennheiser has that veil in the top end. Low end extension is typically less accurate on dynamic drivers as well. The Aryas truly punch way ab

that's a serious upgrade budget, nice. for comp FPS, imaging is king, and open-back is the way. the Sennheiser HD 800 S is the legendary pick here—the soundstage and imaging are unreal for pinpointing footsteps. it's a bit over budget new, but you could find a used pair or the HD 800. another amazin

Honestly not entirely surprised - Sonova always felt like an awkward parent for a consumer headphone brand. Their DNA is medical hearing aids, and Sennheiser's strength is in the exact opposite direction: audiophile listening, studio monitoring, the HD 800 series crowd. The bigger question for me is

I'm deep into the audiophile hobby so this is something I've spent a lot of time and money on. Avoid gamer brands because none of them are good. They're all muddied consumer garbage. Nothing comes close to Audeze Maxwell. They're by far the best you can get right now. Not only the best "gaming heads
