Hello!
After years of buying inexpensive headphones, Ive decided to make the jump and invest in a pair of good quality ones. That being said, I need some help finding a pair.
First and foremost, I have limited knowlage when it comes to headphones so please bare with me. However, Ive been doing a lot of research for the past couple of weeks and trying my best to educate myself but the amount of information and brands of headphones was overwhelming to say the least.
Basically, Im looking for a basic pair that can pull off two jobs hopefully. I do a lot of gaming on the PC and I listen to music on occasion on the PC as well.
When I play games, It's mostly 1P campains and verly seldomly do I play multiplayer. A lot of open world and stealth based games are in my library at the moment. Most of the time I play a stealth based character so being able to hear footsteps and other position give-away noises would be a plus but I've worked around it before.
I dont need a gaming headset, I've already got one and hardly ever use it so a mic is not needed.
Music-wise, I listen to evertthing you can think of with the exception of rap.
These headphones are staying at home so portability is not a top priority.
Over ear headphones are prefered and as much as open back ones sound amazing, Im playing in an upstairs loft that's open to the family room which is always busy, mainly with someone watching TV.
Are Semi-Closed back ones any good? Seems like most folks recommend open or closed back headphones. Also headphones that dont need an apm would be greatly appreciated. The less equipment I have to mess with, the better, unless you think it's an absolute necessity.
Brands to look at? Avoid?
My budget is around $100 but if they are absolutly amazing, I'll go up $20-30. Even better would be if there are any below $100 since I need to get a new controller as well but I'm willing the spend the money if it's worth it.
Thank you so much for reading this. I hope I have given enough information but if not, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to answer. I know Im most likely asking for the same thing as a lot of people have already on here but I couldnt find the answers that I needed plus my lack of knowlage, despite doing research, has not helped at all.
Please feel free to educate me on some of these things. I'd love to learn more so that the next time I go for a new set, I know what to look for.
Thanks again and I hope you are all having a wonderful day!
