What are you guys using and recommend for headphone/mic on your CPU.

have a pair of astro A50 that have been good, but they are starting to give me problems. want to see what are current contenders for good sets.

thanks!

I've enjoyed the heck out of my Arctis Nova wireless. I really like that they give you 2 batteries so one can always be charging. I use them for remote work all of the time.

I have some cheaper Arctis Steel Series 7 at work. I use them all day every day and they wore out a bit fast. I think I have had a couple last 2 years a piece but I do use them a lot taking a lot of calls, having to run to fix something then right back on. Most people won't abuse them at the level I have.

Best sound I ever had was Sennheiser. Some folks on here like the good headset and separate mic setup. That is a bit much for me.

I had a $300 Logitech headset that was terrible. Buttons broke. G933 Artemis.

PC38X if you want an all-in-one

HD58X if you want separate cans and mic. I have them paired with a Shure SM7B

I almost used your name when mentioning the separate setup.

I love my Senn HD6XX which is hooked up to a Schiit headphone amp & DAC.

I'm a fan of the Steel Series Artic line. I have the Arctic 3's that are wired through a usb C (they have other adapters to connect) for PC. I have the Arctic Nova 5 wireless for PS5. They can be manipulated for sound through a phone app. I also feel they are comfortable. Keep an eye on Best Buy. They go on sale often as they are a few years old.

JBL Quantum One. Software and hardware quality is as legit as it gets.

I use a DT990 Pro 250 ohm plugged into a Schiit amp/DAC. Very solid setup with a great 3D soundstage.
