New Gaming Headphones

So I'm currently using a Razer Kraken which surprisingly enough for Razer had lasted me nearly 3 years! However, it's time for an upgrade since I've recently invested in a focusrite scarlett 2i2 and my Kraken won't work on the amp due to the headset having a mic.

I've been looking at beyerdynamic dt 770 pro over the 990 due to them being a closed cup, does anyone have any suggestions/reviews on decent headphones within the 100-200 price point.

If you need closed design to isolate noises of environment DT770 is certainly very capable for gaming for its price.

Did your Kraken's split at the foam to cup area? Mine just started despite being 2 years old but didn't really use them much last year during covid as have another Sony for normal music listening.

I changed from the Kraken’s to the Blackshark V2 with the USB sound card and would 100% recommend. So much more comfortable and the sound is a lot crisper.

On another plus side the ear cushions aren’t pleather so my ears don’t sweat anywhere near as much as they use to
