Headphone recommendation sub120€

Headphones Headphone Discussion / Help
1

Hello !
I have decided to stop buying gaming headsets and purchased a cheap desk microphone so I could orient myself towards some better headphone. I usually play games with background music or watch videos/movies/shows etc so multipurpose would probably be the best and since I am new to all this I can’t really tell what is good and not.
An issue I ran with headsets before is comfort, I have a rather if not very small head so headphones “fall” on my head if that makes sense so comfort is pretty big selling point for me !

I did some browsing before asking but I kinda want to try my luck asking online for maybe an answer that would fit me, I saw things like DT770 pro but I think it is recommended to have an amp/dac, or the sivga sv002 or even the MH40.

Thanks for your help !

What type of music do you listen to? And what is your preferred sound signature? Also do you mind open or closed?

I mostly listen to EDM. I don’t really know about the sound signature I probably couldn’t tell the difference to be honest. I would prefer closed !

How much is a akg k371 where you live? I think that would fit the bill pretty well

You could also try and find a 1more triple driver headphone

5

The akg is 150+ and 1more is 140+, sadly 120€ is as far as I can push it

My bad, I did not know it would be more expensive over there. How much is an akg 361?

You could get a dt770 80 ohm and not need an amp

The DT770 are in my price range, I thought I would need an amp but if I don’t that’s great.

8

If you go with the 80 ohm version you will not need an amp

Good to know, thank you for your advice !
