Hi, I am looking for headphones that are comfortable for long times. I have some MSI ones right now but the leather is ripping and the earpiece over all just hurts when you wear them for a long time. I was wondering if the Arctis 1 headphones are good? And also I will take any other suggestions on headphones you guys have. My budget is around 60 or 70 dollars. The cheaper the better :)

They aren't very good. They're comfy but that's about all I can say, and comfort is all personal preference anyway.

 

Try and find some used Sennheiser 598.

I have them. For the first 2-3 hours they are fine, then it starts becoming uncomfortable and I need to take a break. Not sure if this helps in any way.

alright thanks. Hows the sound quality? and also are they good for gaming sometimes?

sound is good, but I'm no audiophile expert. I use them for gaming as well, microphone is good as well.

customer service is good as well. they broke after 1 year and 10 months (they have 2 years warranty) and they sent me new ones for free.
