Hi im trying to choose between certain budget audio headphones. If you guys can have some input then it will be much appreciated! Models Amazon links :- Wired AKG k92 : AKG OneOdio pro50 : OneOdio Wireless Tribit XFree Go : Tribit I do not mind if they are wired. I plan to use them with my laptop and just sometimes with my phone. I also own the Sony xm3 for travel and to be honest I like their ANC but Im not a fan of their sound signature. Wireless is an added bonus but I need them to work well in wired mode because Sony xm3 sound worse without ANC/battery. I love to listen to rock and alternative where I want to feel the guitar strings. So clarity and wider Sound stage or openness is important for me. I cant seem to choose between these 3. If you have any other recommendations then do mention but ill have to check if they're available in India. Budget is not an issue amongst the 3 so I just want the best option. Thanks.

Hi im looking for headphones for gaming and listening to music. I'm staying with closed back since I don't want others having to listen to my stuff and bothering them and it leaking into my mic. I don't need open back out of the world sound stage. I prefer closed back. Also I need a mic it could be separate or like a boom mic. The ones I been looking at were the DT 770 pros 80ohms. For more detail I'm trying to buy on Amazon since it's easier for me and in canada. Thanks guys. Budget stay under 300 with mic -
I have fallen down the rabbit hole of this disturbing question and don't know which one to choose. So yeah I need some help.

Hi, As the title suggests, I am interested in a dac amp combo for under or just above £200. I'm currently eyeing the Atom DAC+/AMP+. Unsure if this helps but my current motherboard is the X570 TUF GAMING-PLUS (WIFI). Any help would be heavily appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hiyo, I'm looking at getting a pair of hd600(s) but am unsure as to what if anything I should be getting to power and unlock the full potential of this pair. I would rather not spend more than £200 (<- reside in the UK) on a stack and thus have looked into JDSLABS atom amp+/dac+. Originally looked into a schiit stack but they seem to be out of stuck as of now. In addition, if anyone has better alternatives in the UK in terms of performance whilst being available, I would be more than happy. Thanks for any assistance in advance. EDIT: motherboard is -> AMD TUF x570 ATX GAMING (WIFI)

Background Please bare with me, I am not knowledgable in the area of audio. My Philips X2HR headphones have decided to give up, therefore I am looking for headphones that meet the following criteria. Requirements Price: £100-£200 Open-back Over ear Good for gaming and music listening No microphone Detachable audio cable Preferably, but no limited to one of the following brands: Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica Research While i've been searching, i've come up with the following list of headphones, but being a layman in this field I have no idea what I should be realisticly looking for. https://hifiman.com/products/detail/305 https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/headphones/type/wired/ath-ad700x https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/headphones/type/wired/ath-ad500x https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/headphones-high-end-stereo-hd-599 https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/audio-headphones-around-ear-stereo-hd-579 https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/hd-560-s-audiophile-headphone-high-end-over-ear Additional info I previously used a mixer for my X2HR, its quite old and I don't know enough about audio to understand the specifications, I've linked the mixer below, as well as an extract from the specifications that I believe may be important. https://m-audio.com/products/view/m-track-mkii Specification extract Preamp EIN: -133 dBu (max gain, 40 Ω source, A-weighted) -126 dBu (max gain, 150 Ω source, unweighted)

Hi. Looking into whether this setup will work fine and which mic to go for. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen beyerdynamic 990 PRO Either the AT2020 OR rode podmic So my questions are: Will this setup be adequate? (either with at2020 or podmic) and Which microphone would you recommend between the two or any similar in price?

I'm planning to buy the Hifiman HE400SE. And I'm also looking for a AMP/DAC that can be used to run the headphone properly but can also be powered by phone. Any good recommendation? Keep the price reasonable (maybe $100 is my upper limit, but anything cheaper is appreciated!) I've been eyeing the Tempotec Sonata HD Pro since it has very good reputation for being able to handle even higher power headphones (plus it's real cheap). Is that a good option? I've also looked at DC03 and UA1, but I'm not so sure. Thanks!

I own the Cooler Master MH751 and i use it with the Sound Blaster Play 4 USB sound card. The stock cable is pretty long and the plastic around the connectors is very thick making it difficult to use with some devices. Such as phone with a case on it. I bought a cable a month ago from UGREEN, a company with a pretty good reputation. 1 month later and I'm experiencing all kinds of issues. The right side sounds louder than the left, there is noticeable distortion on the high end, crackling and in general not a good experience.< used on the laptop with the sound card. I tried to use it with my phone and it worked fine for the most part, but some issues like if I flex the cable or put stress on the connection with the phone volume becomes wonky and the audio becomes mumble/muffled. I was struggling to figure out what the hell was going on and was very frustrated I decided to go back to the stock cable. When I did everything worked fine. No audio hijinks, nothing. So now I'm trying to claim the warranty from UGREEN and hope that maybe I can get a replacement or refund. But in the meantime could any of you suggest some good cables? Preferably 4-pole and short. Budget is about USD10 <point of comparison

Need a gaming headphone which can also double as a movie/music/online meeting headphone under 15000INR ($200). I was going for Logitech G733 Lightspeed ($208.61/15495INR) as it has detachable mic, but it doesn't have normal bluetooth option just has usb so I can't connect it to my phone. I think it's probably gonna be hard to find good+comfortable headphones with both bluetooth and low latency gaming option, so I would also like recommendations for just casual entertainment+online class headphones. Also please find results from amazon.in as prices are different in India. Thanks.

Hi everyone, as the title says, I am currently looking for a new pair of headphones and mic as the plastic on my current ones are breaking apart and I can't fix it. My current headset is the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 PS4 edition that I am using on my pc. I don't know anything about good audio as I have never used anything better than this, so I am having a hard time trying to find an upgrade for my current one. My budget is about 350 to 400 euros for a pair of headphones, mic and whatever other things I might need for better sound quality. My motherboard is the MSI B350 Gaming Plus. I will be mostly using this for gaming on a pc and listening to music. I wound also want a mic that would sound clear and not compressed like most gaming mics. Something that would be good if you were to use it for streaming. I will be buying from either amazon DE or amazon ES, which ever one is cheaper. Again, I don't know anything about headphones and mics so any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I would really like to know if there's any thing I can do, my headphones are albeit old (about 5 years but they're still working well except for this) but this problem does not seem threatening to it's hardware. There may be hair in my headphones, I tried to coax it out with some heavy bass music at full blast but my headphones include some weird protective mesh. This mesh is like a mulchy tough tissue paper, and it's basically attached. I don't want to take apart my headphones too far because that mesh looks really important. I have really long hair so if I need to dig any out, I will definitely need to get into that space where the mesh is protecting. I'm not sure how to do this though. P.S. The mesh is protecting the main part of the driver (the part facing the ear). Sorry for bad quality in the photo, but the white that you see is the mesh I was talking about.

Heya! I am on the look out for a new Headset for myself and would love to get suggestions as im not really sure what to use/search for. At home i am used to my Philips Fidelio X2HR/00 and their open back design. Currently i am using the Sony WH-1000XM4 at work and such for being wireless. But lately i have more the need for open back headphones as for their easier listening to my surroundings. The Sony doesnt really satisfy me with their way of letting me listening to my surroundings though. Im mostly listening to Electr/Electro Swing and some Podcasts while im walking around with my Headphones. Location wise im from Germany and have no real budget right now :D Thank you for helping out! K~

Hey guys, so I recently just got my Sony H.ear On3, and for some reason when I'm in a call or something, I will always hear some ambient noise, and it's not that the ANC is not working, because when I turn the headphone completely off, the ambient sounds is gone. Can someone please let me know if this is a bug or a feature??

I've had the same pair of hd 558 Sennheiser's for about 5 years now, love them. MY problem is deep-mid bass is now causing a very bad rattle. I'm worried about getting new ones because these have been the most comfortable headphones ive ever worn. I love music and video editing so something flat is obviously gunna be good (pls no beats). I'm debating going to closed back as I'm very adhd so blocking sounds out is good for focusing. anything between 100-200 is very do-able, and from i can tell anything past that has a lot of diminishing returns. And any suggestion is a good suggestion as they are free and very appreciated.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD450s that I've had for 3 years. I enjoy the sound profile, but man they're uncomfortable, so I'm looking for a pair of wired, closed-back, over ear headphones to use while working (long hours). Mic isn't important, most important is sound quality and comfort around the R2k mark (~$150). I was looking at Logitech G Pro X (and non X) but I don't think the sound will match my 450s and reading around gave me that impression, also looked at Razer Blackshark V2 but had concerns about durability and also the sound quality. Also considered m40x, but they're pricey in South Africa (>$160). Beyerdynamics have the same issue where it's over $50 more in SA (if you can even find them). Checked r/headphoneAdvice recommendations page but most not available locally. Hyper X cans are also sold out everywhere here (and import through Amazon adds $50 to cost not to mention reliability issues) and to be honest, I would like to lean away from GAMING headphones (the logitechs were just understated enough and comfortable). I checked the suggestions on this forum as well, but it seems Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
Hello my realme buds Wireless is automatically increasing sound when connected and no response from buttons. But when I discharge it and again recharge it the problem goes away and everything works fine until again it happens after few hours. There are no physical damage, other than that everything is working. Any solutions to this issue?

I see two options in about the 150-180 range that are worth it, the hyperx cloud 2 wireless and blackshark v2 pro wireless. I am looking for wireless and if there are any alternatives please let me know. But if anyone has tried both or one of these please let me know your experience -
I'm planning to get the HyperX Cloud Stinger I want to know how is the sound quality and most importantly how is the build quality is the headband flexible or does it break if you remove it in a hurry?

Help me choose between these budget Gaming Headphone options available in my region: Cooler Master MH751 SteelSeries Arctis 1 HyperX Could Stinger HyperX Cloud II Razer Kraken X Razer Blackshark V2 X Corsair Void Elite RGB Priority: Music Performance. I like to have a tiny amount of base boost but definitely not such that it overpowers other ranges. PS: not looking for suggestions as i need a gaming headphone with a mic to do all my other works, thus a best option from the above list will suffice. TIA

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones for music, media and gaming but mainly music. Are the Rs175-U from Senneheiser worth it or are they overpriced, because they are wireless? I'm willing to spent 200-250 €. Is it even wise to buy wireless? I have the Power beats pro and consider them good, i have no issue with them. I also had the razer thresher 7.1 for a short time before returning them, they were just awful. Constant disconnects and the soundquality wasn't what I wished for. So now having a good and a bad experience without wires I ask myself is it better to buy with wires in 2020 or without? Long story short: Any suggestions for a headphone around 200-250€?

Hi there, I'm currently looking to buy speakers since I don't have one and there are times where I just don't want to use my headphone and they're just overall better when i need to move around in my room or not sitting in front of the desk. Anyway, my budget is not that high, I have an iSK Audio MDH9000, which some say sound similar to ATH-M50 but at a much lower price. I'm happy with it and been using it since 2017 and it only cost me $58 back then. With that said, does said price will be able to achieve a comparable sound in speakers? For this, I stretch my price at 50-70 USD, I've been looking at soundbars since I don't really have a big desk to work with and it'll be even smaller when I move into my dorm again once the human malware situation is solved, but my goodness are they expensive, I've looked at rtings budget soundbars and they are around 200-ish. Your inputs are welcomed and thank you for reading this. Have a good day.
