HD 650 or HD280Pro for gaming. My HD800s are my main cans though for general work/browsing. (Paired with a DNA Stratus and Benchmark DAC2 if anyone is into this kind of stuff)

I'm using a 50 euro JVC headphone (mainly for listening to music in the bus though, I usually just game with the sound through my tv, but sometimes for gaming), don't know any specifics about it though. They're really comfortable (thank god, I have to travel pretty long when going to school). I honestly don't really understand why some people use 200+ euro headphones, because you can get amazing quality for a lot less money. I consider mine to be pretty expensive already, but since I use it a lot and I put it in my bag at school, I kind of needed the quality to be very good (so not just break when it gets stuck between books).

I also don't understand why some headphones are super pricey when their equivalent can be bought at cheaper price. I myself never consider to buy headphone more than 50 euros
Though i still wanna give a try to Bose and found why they charge high premium, whether it's just the branding or really something out of the box.

I actually would love to buy the new Iron Maiden headphones. They're 300 euro though, but they look awesome and the quality is probably pretty good (although probably not much better then my current ones). If I had that money, I'd totally buy it (but because it's Iron Maiden, not because of the quality).

I researched a whole lot when it came to getting some headphones. Sound quality and comfort were the most important factors for me, with good looks also being important. I eventually settled for the Sony MDR-1A in silver. The reviews made me choose between those and the ATH-M50X, but it sounded like mine would be more comfortable, especially when wearing glasses. The sound quality also appeared to be better. Unfortunately I could never try the ATH-M50X but I am fully happy with my purchase. :)
PS: Forgot to mention, the cable is a bit short and the microphone is made for smartphones, so it doesn't really work out of the box with the PC, but I could see past those issues since they weren't a big problem in my case.

hmmm vs ATH-M50x , I hardly find people choosing other over that, I myself wanted to try them. But if someone recommends me something specially comfortable even with glasses, I am sold.

If you can personally try them in a store that's always the best I think. That wasn't an option for me, so I had to rely on reviews. It also depends on the glasses, but overall, they seem to the best choice. I more or less recently got new glasses, and the headphones at first were less comfortable than with my old pair (of glasses), but after going to the optician and getting them a bit adjusted it is now better again.

I have a SADES A30 Xpower Headphone. It's pretty good.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II. Possibly the best value for money you can get at the moment. Band isn't plastic so won't break in two years.

The first Cloud was apparently a rebranded QPAD headset. Cloud II is also externally identical to a number of QPAD products, but I don't know if it's a rebranded version of one of them or if Kingston has made some modifications.

Another Sennheiser HD 598 owner here. Super comfy, fantastic sound. I use it for everything: music, gaming, TV shows, etc.

They're good, great value for its price. Sounds nice, build quality will last quite some time.
Looks good too :p

gaming headsets are a gimmick to sell shitty easy break headphones with a bad mic to get a ton of money
I personally have a set of beyerdynamics 770dt pro cans

So, recently my girlfriend gifted me with this and I am loving every crisp sound and bass.
What do you guys use for your gaming headphones? or if you use any other for daily usage.
