Is this thread doomed to be necroed forever and ever? Well, it is an ever relevant thread but the early posts may not be so relevant any longer with models out of stock for many years.

dont spend more than 100euro , over that they are the same just more expensive
looks like overhyped old meh product
yep cheap is good if it has acceptable usage , no need to worry it will break just buy a new one

I recently got a pair of PlayStation 4 gaming headphones from a surplus store cheap.. in fact they was my first gaming headphones and boy do they make a world of difference gaming and listening to music odds are I am sticking with gaming headphones from now on

No doubt it will break, probably from usage. I usually got 2 something years, though walking with headphones they last a little shorter than that, usually the cable getting breaks in the line somewhere.

There's very little where you need high quality headphones, at least for home/gaming. Maybe noise cancelling ones when you go traveling, or high quality ones when doing music, but otherwise i don't see the point.

The music thing was enough for me. I settled on a budget for new headphones, got a set of second-hand Yamaha HPH-PRO500's instead for about a third of RRP and have been extremely pleased with them. That's been a particularly important point with COVID closing ordinary venues but expanding streaming, although I didn't know that when I got the headphones.

Mind you, I keep the Yamahas plugged into the desktop most of the time and make do with earphones when I'm out and about, and sometimes when using the laptop as well. I'm not an audiophile so no, I wouldn't have paid full price for the Yammies - but even I can hear that they make a significant difference.

Ya I ain't a audiophile either I only really have ever bought afew low end but good headphones ..Before the gaming type.. Though they was for other things in terms of audio usage but they was still really good and noticable difference to the cheap store carried stuff.. Though I had bought those Playstation ones at surplus for over half off retail price(odds are they was put out at first for the ps4 and also they are wired rather then bluettooth that more and more people are going to despite I like wired headphones and such as they don't need charged) and I got a sony mdr-zx110 cheap as heck too because I was like''hey they are cheap and work on pc might aswell see what the fuss is about'' and I noticed a huge difference in sound quality for not just gaming but watching stuff too

I really like the marshals

Nobody (in two years) has mentioned comfort; for example, I can't stand (in-) earbuds for any length of time.

I use closed cans to keep from disturbing others.

I would recommend a light headset, since I find that my ears become quite sore after a few hours. Also my tinnitus is exacerbated, probably because I have the sound set too loud —— since I am losing my hearing, which is a vicious cycle. So try and keep the volume as low as practicable. (Just sayin'. You'll admit I am right when it's too late. :)

Broskis, OP has already bought the DT 770 Pro nearly a year ago: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/headphones/post23

Your assumption is fallacious.
Even though the OP may have satisfactorily completed their quest for a proximal solution to the immediate need/s, even so the secondary purpose of a (public) conversation like this is to assist others who may be faced with a similar situation in the not-too-distant future, when such musings will still be relevant and thus assist them to solve their audiophonic challenges.

Doesn't it hurt to put those USB plugs in your lugs?
