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!
If mic quality isn’t a big deal, I’d go with a lower-pirced dynamic mic (SM58 is my pick) because they will sound better than most headset mics and probably won’t pick up the sound of your keyboard/controller noises. But that means you’ll have a mic which will need to go through a computer interface (which you may not have) and the headphones to contend with, which may be too much hardware for what you’re looking for
