Looking for headphones for use at my computer. Primarily for gaming but also music. Lots of people online recommend the Sennheiser HD 560s but I figured I’d ask to see if there’s anything else worth looking at. I think I want open backs since I’ll primarily use them at my desk by myself.
My criteria are: -Decent price (around $200 or less) -Option for microphone attachment (also looking for recommendations there)
If I were to go with the HD560s, would I need an amp to take full advantage of them? If so, I would also like recommendations for that too, as I don’t really know anything about them. Any other advice you could give me would be very beneficial. I’m new to the audiophile scene and don’t have a ton to spend on the best of the best in gear. Thanks!
DT880 has various versions and the gist is that the harder to drive ones sound better but need more powerful amps. The PRO version is the 250 ohm one if I remember correctly (maybe there is an 80 one as well).
I would go for DT900 pro x in its stead as that is easy to drive, sounds somewhat better and needs no amp at 48 ohm.
