Looking for headphones for RIFT S

[xReqt]

Hey,

 

I am looking to buy some headphones for the rift s with a budget of 30 pounds.  I am unsure which would pair well with the VR Headset so I need some assistance.

 

Amazon UK only please.

 

Thanks in advance

Best audio you can get for any VR headset are the KOSS KSC75's. Amazing sound for the price and instead of actual headphones they have a clip design that rests on your ear.

No the best audio you can get that is actually built in is the Valve Index

@Tigerleon Could you recommend any headphones for Rift S or do you agree KOSS KSC75 is a solid choice?

The KOSS KSC75 Is pretty good yes. For VR it'll do.

On ear headphones can get uncomfortable, usual suggestions for VR are either over or floating away from the ears.

Not really but you don't really need to spend more than 40 dollars on headphones for a vr headset that isn't even using onboard audio or a good DAC.

I am using an Oculus Quest with the official link cable and the sound is bad. It can't use the onboard audio since it is connected with a fiber optic usb type C cable to my motherboard or GPU. So there must be a built in dac somewhere inside of the VR headset. I'm planning on getting the Valve Index since it is much better.

The Quest and Rift S are in completely different ballparks though, besides, you don't use VR for critical listening so that should really be a non-issue.
