The Corsair HS60 Pro surround gaming headset delivers both comfort and quality with memory foam ear pads and custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers built to last thanks to its lightweight and durable construction A detachable noise-cancelling unidirectional microphone helps your voice come through loud and clear and a gold-plated 3 5mm audio connector ensures compatibility with PC Xbox one PS4 switch and more Experience immersive 7 1 surround sound on PC with the included USB adapter powered by Corsair iCUE software Complete with on-ear volume and mute controls for convenient audio adjustments The HS60 Pro is crafted for comfort and built for battle.

Wirecutter

Though it can’t compare to more expensive options, this is the most comfortable and best-sounding headset in this price range with a reliable mic. But it has a nonremovable cable and has some issues with sound bleed.

r/MouseReview

I bought these back in September to carry around mobile with my laptop. Was a little cautious since two people I know who owned Corsair mice and headsets ended up replacing them less than 3 years of ownership. But the price of these was pretty attractive, reviews were good, I liked the dark colors, and figured I'd give it a try and hope their customer service was decent.  The audio quality of this headset is pretty average for its price--I wouldn't listen to classical music on these, with my other pair (HyperX Cloud II) definitely superior soundwise

  EDIT: Corsair was quick to respond and sent me a replacement for the amp (no shipping cost), which seems to be doing the trick. Bumped this up a couple stars since they were genuinely interested with fixing what was wrong. They offered to replace the whole headset as well, if the amp fix doesn't work out.

  Durability-wise, these began to break down recently, and finally shat out. Mic has been reduced to robotic quality, headset audio cuts out, and I'm left unplugging and plugging these guys back in until they work. I've kept my headset on my desk and only took it out of the house once, so no chance it could've gotten roughed up in any way.  I've contacted the company for the warranty, so hoping for the best in terms of a replacement or refund

 Sister-in-Law outright refused to use these because they didn't fit her audio quality standards, so if you're that picky, I would spend the extra bucks on something a little bit better.  Comfortability-wise, the ear pieces don't hurt or pinch, which is nice. In the past I've struggled finding a pair that didn't crush my ears, especially since I wear glasses. I can wear this headset literally all day and not feel like my skull is being crushed

Broke pretty quick, but company quick to respond

 This one here where you got your swivel and right here where you got your just I grabbed it up on the headband again, right here and then I pulled it up in the middle and just stretched it out right like there and you can kind of adjust it right to your liking. If you get it too big, bring it back down like this and you're gonna bring it down again. Just a few key points here real quick. Now a couple of quick differences

 And as far as build, they feel a pinch different. Nothing really massive by any means. but on a note, HS 60 the adjustable bit right here feels like a metal right there, so you're gonna get a little bit of noise coming through that metal into those wires on the HS 60 Pro here. Yet this nice little I'd say rubber coating on the outside right there, which again is just gonna reduce some of that noise whenever you're touching the microphone

 You know what? I really want to do with that? That's like my little catch phrase with headset reviews, right? If it's not comfortable, it's not worth it. I Wanted like one of those motivational speeches where it sounds like there's a whole bunch of people in the background. You know? I don't know I just think that'd be cool. probably corny, but I think it's cool, but alright

 a very nice braided cable. By the way, you're gonna get your USB adapter for your 7.1 and everything right there. Sync it up to use the core software on a PC You'll get your detachable microphone and you're gonna get a windscreen

NEW Corsair HS60 PRO Detailed Review! + Old HS60 Comparison

 Basically, I want something with sound like the Soundcore Life 2 NC with the same comfort, I just thought that if i won't be using the wireless feature, might as well cheap out on that and go for better sounding headphones, which lead me to the audiophile section. 

 the usb dongle that came with it was faulty, the sound was absolutely terrible and muddy without it, the only good thing was that they were comfortable to wear. Even with the usb dongle, some female vocals and cymbals, etc was very muddy and worse than the apple earbuds i use with my phone. Basically, I want something with sound like the Soundcore Life 2 NC with the same comfort, I just thought that if i won't be using the wireless feature, might as well cheap out on that and go for better sounding headphones, which lead me to the audiophile section. 

requirement for isolation: I would prefer closed back, with medium to high noise cancellation, basically like im fine with some good passive noise cancellation with thicc earpads and stuff

 So, just leave your recommendations in the comments, and hopefully I have all the information you guys need to try and find me a good pair of headphones. 

Is the Sound BlasterX G6 powerful enough for my Hifiman Sundaras?

I'm using an equalizer set to -6 dB preamp and in low gain mode on the G6, 80% is uncomfortably loud.

I have heard some talk about planar magnetic needing a lot of current to be "fully driven", so I'm worried that I'm not amplifying them to their full potential. Am I okay with my current DAC/amp?

Earpod like earphones? 

Idk how to google it. I don't like earphones that go in your ear with a rubber bit and my favourite pair ever have been some knock off wired earpods for like £3. After they died, I've been wanting a better version.

Something that's:

 - Wired

 - Earpod type design

 - Ok to lie down in

I'll spend up to £50 I guess or just a way to google "earpod like earphones" would be nice so I can find some myself haha. All the results are knock off airpods (wireless! I want them to use with my switch).

New to the headphone world, need insight.

Hey all! I’ve used airpods and while they’re fine, and their apple connectivity is outstanding, I’m looking for something “different”? Not sure exactly how to explain it. I have my crappy “mowing the lawn” jay birds but want something for audio books, movies, and higher end audio sound. I don’t mind wired or wireless for this pair, but it would need a mic as I’d like to use them for zoom/Webex as well. Lastly, I’d like in ear vs over ear.
Any thoughts /r/Headphones ?

Thanks!

Budget 200ish
Needs to work with my iPhone, but can use lightning to 3.5 if needed.
Would prefer wireless if possible
Am I truly best going with AirPod pros?

Fiio K5 Pro - I've had this dac/amp for a little over a year and never had issues with it until today. For some odd reason, the sound stopped working. The device turns on and the light is blue. It's connected via USB. I uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers, reset my computer a few times. I went into the config sound and hit the test button and that's the sound I get Weird Sound [Sound Link](https://youtu.be/gQIyBZm_moQ) . Is there something simple I'm missing?

This is mostly between B&W PI3 and Sony WF-XM3 but there are some other options available as well. I'd like to get an opinion on this.  
  
* **Budget** - Up to 180 USD.  
* **Source** - Tidal Masters on iPhone and PC  
* **Will you be using in public** - Yes, but not much.  
* **Preferred Type of Headphone** - Wireless in-ear.  
* **Preferred tonal balance** - Balanced on overall but strong highs are more important than bass.  
* **Past headphones** - Have been using Marshall Major II with cord for the last 3-4 years.  
* **Preferred music** - Blues/Rock/Jazz, that order.  
* **What would you like to improve on from your set-up** - Well, I want to have a wireless experience and I also need an in-ear right now. In terms of sound quality, stronger highs would be welcome. I don't have much complaints from the Major II for sound quality.  
* **Options available with their price tags in where I live** - B&W PI3 at 177 USD / Sony WF-XM3 at 166 USD / B&O E8 2.0 at 152 USD / Marshall Minor 2 at 116 USD / Anker Liberty 2 Pro at 145 USD

 I'm not a headphone nerd at all and I have a problem with my headphones so I thought I might find some help here.  
My pair of AKG k72's have a static noise sound problem when they are connected to my HP laptop. I tested them on multipile different devices (laptops, desktops, mobiles) and only my laptop creates this problem. Other headphones work perfectly fine on my laptop.  
I found out the sound changes depending on where I sit in my house (even if I keep it plugged in in the same place), which I found pretty interesting. Also when for example I power on/off a lamp, plugged in the same power strip as my computer, the sound changes. Even when I turn on the TV, not connected at all with my pc, the sound gets louder.  
I searched for this problem on internet and I found it might be a grounding problem, so I shouldn't have the problem when my laptop isn't plugged in. I can't test this since my laptop only works when plugged in because the battery broke.  
Any suggestions to what I can do to fix this problem?

Looking for advice between the Campfire Audio Solaris 2020, Sony IER-Z1R, and UM Mest.

I'm looking for a good pair of IEMs with a good amount of bass, but that still have a decent amount of clarity for vocals. I currently have a set of CA Atlas, but don't really like the sound of the mids on them compared to a BA.

With the Mest, I'm worried I'd get sick of feeling the bone conducting driver shaking my ears. I saw that BGGAR put these up above the IER-Z1R, and unfortunately Crinacle hasn't reviewed them yet afaik.

So, I mainly use my headset for Microsoft Teams (Work) and Warzone/WoW. I am using a Logitech Pro X headset right now.

I am interested in getting a HiFI HE400i with a modmic. I'm watching reviews on the headset and I cannot get a solid understanding what I'm gaining here. Is it louder, more bass, more soundstage?

Just picked up my first set of audiophile headphones (TYGR 300 R) and had some questions.

Do these need to be EQ’d at all? I know it’s Warzone and the audio is terrible, but I tried these headphones last night and they were very underwhelming. I may have trouble describing what I’m hearing, but I would say they sound flat and muddy (maybe muffled?). These are easy to drive, but I tried my onboard audio vs an E10k and noticed no difference in how they sound.

This is my first set of open back headphones, so I know there will be quite the differences between these and my hyperx cloud 2’s. Is this just my brain not being used to this type of sound signature? If you had me pick which headphone sounded better, I would tell you the cloud 2’s definitely sound better.

I know this shouldn’t be the case as these headphones are highly recommended around here. I’m just wondering how long I should give them or if I should try something else?

Are there any aftermarket earpads for AirPods Max? Has any company announced that they are planning to make some?

I'm not a huge fan of the default earpads but I didn't find anything after looking around for a while.

Currently have Sennheiser 558 and a fiio e10k, thinking about trying to find something with a little bit more bass on them. Pulled up [drop.com](https://drop.com) and seen the E-MU Purplehearts and the Hifiman HE-400i, I know the price difference between the Hifiman is like double the cost of the E-MU Purplehearts. But would either give me what I'm looking for, with the current fiio e10k?   


Also, I have larger ears, will that be a problem with either headphone, or any other suggestions on what I should look at.

alright guys so i am in need of some purchase advice so here is the template:

Budget: below 60$ without tax pretty firm

source: I will be using these with my desktop pc with 3.5 mm jack, occasionally with my phone, which also has a 3.5mm jack (so rare, ikr)

requirement for isolation: I would prefer closed back, with medium to high noise cancellation, basically like im fine with some good passive noise cancellation with thicc earpads and stuff

i wont really be wearing these headphones in public, really the maximum being my camera on in zoom classes

type of headphones: I want closed back, over ear headphones, with some comfy ear cushions, since this will be my primary audio source for my pc and i will be wearing them for almost 10 hours a day with few breaks

preferred tonal balance: I would like pretty balanced headphones with punchy bass but also clean highs and mids

past headphones: I used to use a pair of Anker Soundcore Life 2 NC's in passive mode since there was an issue with their bluetooth, so i used them with ANC off and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the sound, the bass, and they were just fine for gaming. one of the earcups snapped off the headband tho so im in the market for new headphones. After this, I just bought a Corsair HS60 Pro in hopes of trying gaming headsets, but it was absolutely awful. the usb dongle that came with it was faulty, the sound was absolutely terrible and muddy without it, the only good thing was that they were comfortable to wear. Even with the usb dongle, some female vocals and cymbals, etc was very muddy and worse than the apple earbuds i use with my phone. Basically, I want something with sound like the Soundcore Life 2 NC with the same comfort, I just thought that if i won't be using the wireless feature, might as well cheap out on that and go for better sounding headphones, which lead me to the audiophile section. 

Music: Ok, so my music taste is kinda weird. I like to listen to a lot of Chinese pop, which is sorta slow and not too bassy with mainly female vocals, an example [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C117NWgCJ88). I also love EDM equally, to be specific mostly house and trap, examples [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDCivV_OrHA) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQTQrs-2rwQ), respectively. Basically I want something clean on highs mids and lows

What I would like to improve: If I'm being totally honest here, I really would be fine with buying the Life 2's or whatever the newest updated version of them is, but I thought that I might get something better, which I really can't imagine in my small experience with audio, but I still might. So really, the baseline is the Life 2's, which I don't really know if that is really low, or high.

Overall: I want over ear closed back headphones, I don't mind wired, with a pretty balanced sound, I dont mind a little extra bass as long as it isn't like muddy or something. So, in the research that I did, asking in discords, looking on youtube videos, etc. I found the pairs that had everything I wanted (mostly) to be the Status CB-1's. This has all the things that I wanted, but most of the videos and people said that these headphones didn't have much bass. Now, I don't know how these compare to the Life2's but that's what they had to say. But in most of the discords and reddit posts, they all recommended the Creative Aurvana Live! or Aurvana SE. However, looking at the earpads on those, they do not really look very comfortable or noise-isolating at all (I could be mistaken, but it's pretty obvious). I looked on amazon and really couldn't find any earpads for the Aurvana that looked even remotely as comfortable as the Life2's, when the CB-1's come with really good looking earpads. So, just leave your recommendations in the comments, and hopefully I have all the information you guys need to try and find me a good pair of headphones.

Help finding an amp for a first-timer! Something to power my Hifiman 400i 2020's

&#x200B;

Budget - $100, flexible

&#x200B;

Source - laptop (ROG Zephyrus G14) or phone (Pixel 4a or iPhone 6S)

&#x200B;

I apologize in advance for being an absolute noob, I'm very new to the audiophile space. I started with just a pair of Fiio FH3's, which I was perfectly satisfied driving directly off of my Pixel 4a. I absolutely fell in love with the hobby, and picked up a pair of Hifiman 400i (2020)'s not soon after for at-home listening.

&#x200B;

Now, I'm wanting to pick up an amp for it, but I'm very, very confused as to what I should get. On the one hand, reviews say that the 400i's are relatively easy to drive (my laptop, a ROG Zephyrus G14, which I understand has a Realtek ALC289 chip, seems to be able to drive it to enjoyable volume levels albeit with both the Spotify and laptop volume cranked up to max). On the other hand, people I've asked elsewhere say that as planar magnetic headphones, these are power-hungry cans and need a powerful amp to drive it.

&#x200B;

So I turn to the experts to hopefully shed some insight as to choosing "baby's first amp". I've opted to get just an amp for now without a DAC as I'd like to familiarize myself with the SQ of the headphones themselves as tuned. What does the group recommend, considering:

&#x200B;

1. I listen to music almost exclusively on Spotify Premium on my laptop/phone (I take this to mean that I also shouldn't get an amp that is "too good", because then the quality of the music won't be able to keep up? Idk)

&#x200B;

2. I'm willing to pay for quality if needed, but I also want to make the most out of the 'phones without breaking the bank (getting hitched next year, plus buying a house), so I'm looking for the "bare minimum" that will really let these 'phones "sing"

&#x200B;

3. A dedicated source and amp aren't on the horizon for the next year or so (see number 2)

&#x200B;

4. Another set of cans are also off the table in the medium to long-term (see number 2), so I'm hoping to find something that is a good match specifically for the 400i's and don't need, at this point, something that will future-proof me against more power-hungry 'phones

&#x200B;

I've been looking at the iFi Zen Can as the most viable option, but I unfortunately don't know enough to be able to tell if I'm making a good choice or not. Halp!
