What are some good open ear headphones?

nah I'm good. i like to jam out to music

what?

>not listening to music
are you even human?

AKG K712

You mean you fell for it. That's what you get for buying chink shit.

Sennheiser HD5xx series are all good in price to performance ratio. Of course, it all depends on what you need and how far you are on the audiophile autism spectrum, and how much money are you willing to spend.

Okay, thanks. Ordering it now. is $300 a good deal?

Honestly don't know. I bought them when they were 400, so anything lower is a deal to me.

what's wrong with having a nice set of headphones

I bought good headphones because I wanted them, dipshit. And its actually great, you can hear clothes shift, electronic ambiance, and various details that devs put into the games that go unnoticed.

don't fucking remind me

> Sup Forums
> gaymen headsets

What's a good mic families? Something decent just for talking to faggots on vent/discord/skype etc..

>mommy won't by me new headphones waahh
Fucking NEETs

I didn't get it for gaming though.
And it's comfortable as hell on top of sounding excellent.

I like my comfy DT 770s

They sound like shit though...
And they have moved production to china.

>dad leaves his puppy with me while he visits family
>very first thing it does as soon as I leave the room to get a glass of water is shred my sennheiser cable
It's my fault for assuming it wouldn't do anything if it acted nice in front of me, but that still doesn't make me not hate this worthless piece of shit.
Had a cat for 16 years that never ruined a single thing in the house with piss, shit, teeth, or claws, but this fucking mongrel can't be alone for ten seconds without destroying the most reliable headphones I have ever owned.

Your mom sounds like shit

>he's a cat person
Suicide?

Fidelio X2s if you want bass as well as soundstage.

Avoid them if you just want soundstage.

>he fell for the "there's no need to spend more than $15 on headphones, ever" meme
>he actually believed Sup Forums
Stay mad, Brad my lad.

Unironically a blue snowball. I bought one and love it. It's such a Fucking meme though

I have HD558's, they are far better than any of the bullshit gaming crap I've owned.

>have wireless headphones

not an argument

not an argument

I was poor once too user. Keep working on bettering your situation, life gets better. I unironically assure you.

It'll get better when I'm finally brave enough to end it all

Can't complain, I wear these all day and are super comfortable.

...I don't get the nature of your response. Did you quote the wrong person?

my Beyerdynamic DT770s broke after years and years and I'm poor so I had to buy lower end headphones. Ended up with K240s and I actually like them quite a bit.
Not closed, and not as bass heavy as the 770s but I feel like the highs are a bit cleaner. But maybe that's because I always had my 770s turned way up. Good deal for $70.

you don't need anything specific for gaming, standard stereo is perfectly fine, and any shitty ass virtual surround or whatever won't make you better

My man!
The only negative things about them are the fucking cable, not really portable friendly

I actually can't use anything else now

>Splurge on a pair of mid-range studio headphones after using shitty $5 - $20 headphones and earbuds all my life

Whatever the price, $5 or $500, your are all fucking idiots.

>Not using 701's with the skullbumps
Do you even into pain?

I failed at reading comprehension and thought you said
>he fell for spend more than $15 on headphone meme"

I don't really know how I did that, sorry user.

You ever think you're the problem?

What's the problem? Not COMPETITIVE enough for you?

Your sins are forgiven, my child.

I used these for years. Actually bought a new pair after the old ones broke. They are fine and even good for music, no need to spend anymore than this.

Literally never seen someone with such shit taste in my entire life. What headphones do you use?

easily this thing

>Shitty cheap headsets keep breaking because I'm too poor to get anything good

Headphones are great for gaming, but I don't much like my HD800s for it. Too many games have shitty sound that actually clips or distorts in high frequency ranges.

HD600s with a modmic or clipmic are the way to go, comfy, good sound, and just really nice.

sennheiser HD650 here

I like them

I've got ATH-M50Xs for my casual use and I think they're pretty good given what I paid for them.

>he fell for the open mic + speakers meme

*slovakia

they sound alright

>got cheap 15 dollar headphones from steelseries
>it hurts my head and ears after 15 minutes

what's the difference between open vs. closed for gaming?

anyone?

I usually just buy the cheap Sennheiser PC Chat headsets, no one has complained about the microphone yet and the sound isn't bad.

Closed headphones are for considerate people don't want their audio to leak and bother everyone else. Open headphones leak audio but they have big soundastage, the audio feels big like its coming from all around the room.

open = good for vidya, bad for porn?

got it.

>good for vidya
depends on what you play

I bought a shitty $25 headset off amazon cuz I needed a mic for vc on discord desu

I don't use my computer exclusively for gaming.

elaborate

I use my meme50x's and the sound stage is wide enough to discern directional sound to a good degree. I can for instance hear the footsteps of a player walk around me in a circle without a noticeably abrupt difference. However for gaming the wider the sound stage the better. I bought the ATH m50's for music though

>using headphones for vidya instead some X.1 system that makes your entire appartment shake when shit is going down

My ATH-M50s are tres incredible for gaming and music.

I just bought one for the mic. The Chinese milimeter wires have already disabled sound on the right side.

>be the guy with speakers
>constantly echo other people's microphones in voice chat and blast background noise every time you transmit

Fuck you and everything you stand for.

>not buying thousands of speakers and placing them everywhere in your city

the meme50s are not worth it right now for that price
i own some myself and have used them for almost 6 years now i believe, they're still really good though

Open headphones are not good if you play hentai games with voice acting.

open is better for gaming cuz the soundstage is bigger which means you can better tell which direction sound is coming from (if the game has good audio at least).

also fuck people who cry about sound leaking and bothering others. youre in your room playing video games, who is it gonna bother?

Open headphones are more breathable and more natural sound. Downside is you can hear outside noise and people can hear your headphones as if they're speakers.

If you like bass, closed is better.

My m50s just broke, what is a good replacement?

Too flat, I bought the M50s for a reason

Couldnt you just make a headphone thread instead of being a fag? Or do you really believe that a surround system is more practical (or even comparable in quality at a similar price) than headphones?

It's like how MonHun threads used to be user. Start with a "bait".

It's tanoshii.

buy another pair then, they're still really good even though it's a lot more expensive now last i checked
are you looking for closed or open?

I'd say closed but I can deal with open

>I bought the M50s for a reason

Latest beats by dre. Keep it real.

well honestly i'd say, just buy another pair, the Sup Forums thread is extremely elitist but they're helpful (sometimes)

...

>hpg

user might not want to spend 300 dollhairs.

At least the FAQ is good

Why

Soundstage is a literal meme. I can tell exactly where shit is just as good with my IEMs as I can with my open headphones.

Picked these up on sale for 80 Canadian didgery-doos 2 years ago. One of the best purchases I've ever made, actually. The big thing with these is aside from the fantastic sound, they are comfortable enough for me to wear all the time. This was a huge problem for me because I have a big head and all the """gamer""" headsets were absolute trash. All plastic, inflexible, small, extremely uncomfortable, shitty mics and bad sound quality.

Forgot the img

>meme50
isn't that a lewd artist?

>tfw want some good headphones
>has to have a mic though, not going to do some standing mic bs

So im forced to use those steelseries siberia or whatever theyre called now. Theyre fine for $50, wont break if dropped which is an insanely huge plus because having a headset break after accidentally dropping is the fucking worst

>expecting help from Sup Forums

Theres a reason this thread was made here

Or you could buy a clip mic and a non-shit pair of headphones for the same price.

>buy shp9500s
>buy boompro
>get premium gaymen headset

yes but also headphones

I was using earphones before a head. After this I will never allow myself to ever play vidya without one. I would recommend the senheiser head I use to anyone. ive had it for 2 years now and I mistreated her badly but shes made out of fucking titanium and is still going strong.

if you actually game without a headset, immediately kill yourself.

I'd love to use my headphones but I just don't take to them well

Having anything touching my ears for more than 10 minutes starts to give me massive headaches and make me feel flushed. I get the same problem with glasses. I have no idea why

So my ath-m50x's are doomed to just sit on my desk looking pretty
