Headphones/headset upgrade

[Kaita]

Hello everyone! So I'm in the market for a new headset or headphones and I really don't know which to get. My budget is 150-200 and it should be available on Amazon. I used to have an Audio Technica M40X but somehow I lost it at uni (sucks I know >.>) and I'm currently stuck with my Logitech G230 which give me a headache. I've seen reviews and lists and really couldn't decide on which headphones to get. I also need a good sounding mic for Discord/TS. Should I just go with something like the Sennheiser Game Zero? or something from Razer? (I even considered getting the Astro A50s but idk ...) I could also go above 200 if necessary but I'm kinda lost atm. It has to be over-ear , doesn't leak sound much and if it doesn't have a mic I could just use get a ModMic 4.0. Thank you!

I really have a thing for colors, and lights/LEDs, so I got the Logitech G933 Wireless, but I wouldn't get them again. Their made of plastic, and tend to slide of my head. I would much rather have spent the money elsewhere despite them being about the only wireless headsets with leds.

These are the two main options I would look at

K553: really good soundstage for closed headphones, with fairly balanced bass and treble

DT770: Really comfy, They have a V shaped sound signature, kinda like the M50x, but with a bit less bass and a bit more treble.

If I had to pick I'd echo @Dackzy and suggest - if you liked your M40s, to get the DT770 or... just get your M40s again if you want to save some cash. Sometimes it's best to go with what you know you like rather than try something new.

 

Full disclosure: I work for ModMic

That's the thing I wanna try something new! Are the DT770's worth it though? Compared to the M40X or even M50X. I'm really clueless when it comes to audio.

I have the DT770 pros, worth every single penny. Nice soundstage for a closed back headphone.

 

Although i cheaped out on the amp cos i just wanted something small to power up these babies, got the fiio k1. My motherboard was not able to power these headphones (yes my pc is from the stone age), so i got an amp, try it first on your motherboard before getting an amp.

if your looking for a gaming headset i just picked up the hyper x cloud 2s and they are amazing for the price. you get 7.1 dolby surrond sound and one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones all for $100 bucks.  the only thing that i have personally found to be more comfortable are my bose qc35s but they are $350 so

they have a bit higher audio quality than the m50x (not much), bigger soundstage, more comfy.

I can't say if you think they are worth it or not. Audio is very personal preference.
