USB Headphones [$250]

[Paytend01]

I previously was looking for a gaming headset but I rethought it and decided i dont need to upgrade my headset. 

 

So can anyone suggest a pair of headphones that connects to USB for around $250 usd or less? Thank you

What is the headset going to be used for?

A pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990s and a Schiit DAC would be a nice setup.

AKG K612 Pro are fun for audio whoring and picking apart details in game imo. Have a look

what is a DAC going to do without a amp? if you think nothing, then correct. Also why would you recommend getting a DAC at such a low budget, it makes no sense, the audio quality bump is way bigger with better headphones, than with upgrading a DAC and amp, unless there is something wrong with OPs onboard.

If you have $250 for the sole purpose of audio then you might as well get one at this budget.

you must be joking right? That is just stupid. Lemme just buy 100-150$ headphones and then 100-150$  on a used Schiit DAC and amp. That combo would have NOTHING on a 200-250$ pair of headphones with decent onboard. Why would you even think that a DAC and amp would make a big jump in audio quality? If we start talking 500-600 then you might want to think about getting a DAC and amp, but 250$ that is just plain stupid, unless there is something wrong with your onboard.

 

At 250$ you have:

fidelio x2

K7xx

K553

MSR7

NAD VISO HP50

AD1000x (sometimes)

All of those headphones are good, but it comes down to what kind of sound you want
