Hi guys/gals,
I'm looking to get a new set of headphones for use exclusively with my PC. They'll be used equally for music and games but do not (in any way) need to be 'gaming' focused. Over the years I've owned several gimmicky gaming headsets and they either don't last or just have generally average sound quality. These headphones do not need to have a mic built in but it's a bonus, i'm open to suggestions regarding this.
Some information that might help you:
Budget: £200 (I'm going to be using these a LOT so i'm flexible depending on recommendations)
Isolation: I share a flat with my partner so some sort of noise isolation would be preferable
Music genre: A bit of everything really. EDM, rock, jazz, you name it.
Games: The only remotely 'competitive' game I play is a bit of Valorant every so often but mostly now I play Final Fantasy 14 which has a lot of great orchestral pieces which might sound really nice on a proper set of headphones.
I've seen people recommending things like the DT770's and similar. Would I need to buy any more external hardware like an amp/dac in order to get these up and running to their best? Treat me like an absolute newbie because I guess I am!
Any advice is much appreciated!
