Gaming headsets, especially the expensive ones were a trap I fell into for a long time. They’re overpriced for sure, quality varies but they usually last a few years. They’re always all so uncomfortable too.

I broke out and ended up getting a DAC/AMP, some good cans and a mounted microphone and I’ve never looked back. I miss the wireless part a little, but taking the headphones off to get up is a cheap price compared to $200+ garbage.

Bah, my Epos H3PRO is still going strong after 4 years and the build and sound quality are excellent.

There’s definitely exceptions. My GSP 670s were the best quality cans for sure. But the headset itself was super uncomfortable for the price.
