Headphones or Headset?

Headsets have a built in mic, headphones do not

So this is just based on my personal experience with headphones, which isn't a ton.

 

If you can find the Sennheiser HD598 within your budget, I would get those. If not, then the Philips Fidelio L2 or even the Sennheiser HD558 would be good choices.

Those are not good for anything. Not trying to sound like a dick, but I've used those before and they sound so muddy compared to actual headphones from companies who make professional sound equipment - and the "professional" stuff costs less.

I'm on the fence about wireless headphones for right now personally. I'm being hypocritical a little bit since I have a pair of Jaybird X3 in-ears, but I think overall the wireless audio quality is lacking a bit for right now. Bluetooth 5 is right around the corner, but I don't know when exactly we'll see that tech implemented in headphones, if at all.

 

I would try those somewhere before you buy if you can, or make sure to buy them with a good refund policy in case you don't like them.

perhaps the Philips SHP9500. they're open-back so soundstage will be good, which is important for gaming. it's also really comfortable judging from reviews

Those lack in bass a little bit compared to other stuff that OP could afford - I bring this up since in my opinion, a little bit of a bass kick for games is always nice.

 

Though I think if you were to stick some faux leather pads on there somehow, they might do the job fine.

i would buy them on amazon where i can get a refund for 1 month after buying
