Which is all I gave. I never claimed to be an authority on the subject. Quite the opposite actually, if you look at my last comment in that post. Agree with your comments re different people looking for different qualities in their headphones. That's where the premium units come into their own.The thread title is asking our subjective opinion. I’d agree that for most people who don’t have an exquisitely musical ear, then most cheap and cheerful headphones will do the job.
People will have differing wants and needs though. Some want a heavier bass, whilst others want a more dynamic treble.
If you can try before you buy, then everyone should get what they want.
Most stores let you listen to them… I had bose briefly before the Sony‘s and I was pretty disappointed with those….Well the latest version is the xm5s, only £50 more, but my main query is will they be so much better than my £60 pair.
What headphones did you get for gaming? I've got steelseries and sound great.pay what you can afford, i got some decent headphones when i bought the ps5 ,they make the world of difference
For the half that isn't blind ?It's like expensive binoculars, if you're half blind, what's the point.
