Multi use headphones

[Rannoch]

Need some recommendations please. Main use would be for gaming on a laptop, not multiplayer, listening to music on iPhone and some TV use. They won’t be used in public so size doesn’t matter.

Budget £150 or thereabouts due to limited use.

Cheers

Sennheiser 500 series maybe - a bit over your budget but the new HD505 seem to be one of the best for this kind of usage (though for phone use you'd probably want the <=50 Ohm variants).

What kind of connector?

I would think 3.5mm so you can use an adaptor to USB or lighting for various devices.

Epox PC38X is good, it's basically Sennheiser with a decent mic. The cord is quite short though so you will need an extension or a different cable if you want to uise it on the TV. I know you wont be playing multiplayer but it can be used for work/teams calls if you need to.

Will checkout those HD505 and Epox models.

Laptop has a 3.5mm output. TV would be Bluetooth like the iPhone.

I'm very much enjoying my Hifiman Deva Pro's . Picked up for about £150 in April last year. Have been using them with all kinds of devices, the bluetooth module it comes with supports LDAC and is powerful enough to be loud, also appears to be a properly balanced output and sounds pretty damn good. Using them with my phone or PC with a Fiio BTR15 is frankly amazing.

They are open back so can annoy other people.
