đź”¶ Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee

A listen to a LOT of stuff. Samba, Pop, Hip-hop, Jazz, some instrumental classic, R&B, Soul, Classic Rock, some indie. I would say they do all right for most stuff, but where they shine for me is Vocals. PMJ’s version of “Who wants to live forever”, with Morgan James, on this headphone is out of this world. If you really listen to a lot of different stuff, IMO more than one headphone is something you will eventually consider. But for a “jack of all trades” headphone, the 58X does a good job.

For alternatives, if gaming is your main priority, I would encourage you to look at Falenkor’s competitive write-up, he’s done a great job describing headphones, and he’s usually a very helpful folk. If your focus is music, this can be complicated. Is my understanding hip-hop, rap, and electronic need some good bass punch, and this is usually something you don’t want with competitive gaming headphones. The 58X is as bassy as I would go, at least for my taste.

Edit: Might as well link the post I mentioned.
