I'm looking for a pair of headphones to purchase, mostly for gaming. I've been using earbuds for the last few years but want to try out headphones. I heard Sennheiser is a good european brand and that their headphones are pretty good. What do y'all recommend?

Beyerdynamic DT 990 are about 150, nice open headphones. Both people with requests to sound and casual listeners enjoy (me and my wife as example). They are built very well. My pair is 12 years old and as new when I replace ear pads. They do have very high level of sound quality and detail, hard to beat in leven double price range. I play games, listen and create music in them, due to mindful construction and open back they can be worn for a long time. Sound is open, crisp, with a lot of highs and pretty detailed. If you don't have anything to drive them, take 80ohm. If you need more volume or better sound, consider cheap, good sounding digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier - check FIIO brand for example, ka11 (40$) is good and very portable, I also use it with my steam deck. But there are other models cheaper.

Sennheisers have a lot of good pairs, but I cannot recommend anything from expirience, Audio Technica is Japanese company and their headphones are good sounding, but a lot of their headphones are fragile.

Overall aim for open headphones as they are better when you wear them for long periods like during gaming. And use return policy to your advantage.

Sennheiser sold off their consumer headset decision, it's now just a licensed name. They also stopped selling spare parts! Very annoyed.

Damn, so that's why I cannot get replacement pads for my HD 599.

Had to get mine on Amazon. โ˜น๏ธ

Fine if it's a popular enough headset.... But for how long?
