Looking for a new pair of headphones

[logan125]

I'm currently using a pair of Arctis 7s and they are slowly dying on me. They will be used for playing games like Escape from Tarkov, WoW, Apex Legends, Skyrim, and eventually Borderlands 3 when it comes to PC and for watching movies. I'm looking at a couple of different headphones but I don't know if they will be good for what I want.(Sennheiser HD598Cs/569, ATTH M50x, V-moda M-100 Master) I also saw that AKG release a new pair called K371 and they look pretty nice but there aren't many reviews yet. I need closed back since I live in a loud environment and I want something that's warm sounding.(A removable cable would be sweet too but is not needed) I've tried a pair of DT 770 80Ohm and they were way too bright for me and hurt after only 30 minutes of use. My Budget is $250-260ish Thanks!

Give the one more triple driver over ear headphones a try somewhat bright but not as bright as the 770. Also the akg k553mk 2 a try nice smooth sounding and wide for a headphone and just warm not bright. And the ATH ws1100i big bassy good for gaming not so much music headphones.   The m50x has no soundstage, the closed back 598 is not very good, and the v modas m100 is just ok.

Oh and how could I forget literally perfect fit warm sounding great for gaming closed back for under $250 the meze 99 neo.

Thanks for all the recommendations Rice! IS the Meze 99 neo the same as the Meze 99 Noir sold from MassDrop? Or are they different headphones sounding headphones? Thanks!

I believe the noirs are modeled after the classics and not the neos

Sweet thanks for all the help! I'll be looking into the Neos and the AKGs.

Maybe take a look at the beyerdynamic MMX 300

I don't need a mic on the headphones since I've got a okayish desk mic. I'll probably pick up Neos and AKGs and see which ones I like more and return the other.
