Am looking for a new pair of headphones, mostly for gaming. The two aspects I care mostly about are comfort and good audio. Therefore wondering about people’s recommendations and experiences with headphones. What’s been your best headphones so far and why?

    I would second getting a separate microphone/headphone instead of a combined headset.

    All the headsets I owned over the years were significantly worse in audio quality and broke after a few years, usually something related to the microphone.

    I went with a Sennheiser 598 with a Modmic for years, which was ok but switched to a beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro about 4 years ago.

    So far my favorite out of all the headphones I owned. Very clear sound, comfortable, actually “Made in Germany”, and they still provide replacement parts on their website. Replaced my ear pads just a month ago or so.

    The Modmic is decent but there is a lot of room for improvement, I was never able to find a proper alternative though.
