Sennheiser

"I can vouch for the pc 38x. I've tried a weird spread of headphones, and to me, diminishing return kinda hits at the pc 38x for fps gaming. It has really great imaging and audio cues."
"Momentum 4 + vmoda book mic + kokkia 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female adapter. Works amazing, and sounds amazing too."
"I would personally go for the 599 with a mod mic. They nail comfort more than anything up to my 660sv2's."
"Spend the money 💰 be happy"
"It's a fantastic headset with no gimmicks or gaming esthetic."
