I need a new pair of headphones for my PC, what EU options are there? It would be good if they can be comfortably worn with glasses.

    Beyerdynamic. German company.

    They are comfy pillows on your head. Significantly more comfortable than any gaming headset I have ever seen.

    They have gamic headsets that wipe the floor with steelseries or similar. Or you can get one of their audio focused headsets.

    Then just get a standing mic (way way way way better audio than headset boom mics)

    Or do what I did before getting a standing mic and just get a replacement microphone for a standard gaming headset and a male to male or male to female aux cable with zip ties.

    Behringer, t.bone, JTS, turtle beach (what I used, american company though), etc…

    Or a modmic alternative like the audiotechnica ATGM2 or a lavalier mic (sennheiser has one), etc…

    Bonus is you get a ridiculous higher audio quality for gaming, movies, and music.

      a standing mic

      Hello, what is your current setup, in terms of microphone, interface, etc. ? Always curious about those things

        I have a Blue Yeti from before the got bought by microsoft. I hear the quality has seriously declined (just like when logitech bought seitek and completely ruined it), so I don’t know if I would recommend that. I am no streamer, so a USB mic works completely fine for me.

        As that coincides with what he was recommending, I’ve been using Beyerdynamics Fox gaming system, i.e. the gaming headphones and the microphone that are bundled. Honestly works great, haven’t had one problem and they are studio quality plus plug and play USB-C. The one time I had a broke cable with my headphones (my negligence) they simply repaired it free of charge while also changing the cushions - well after the 2 year warranty

        So strong recommendation

            Oh damn you’re right and from the looks of it they have no intention to restock. But maybe contacting them might change their mind or they can offer you something else.

            I was looking at mice earlier and was interested if there was a test in the fox microphone/tygr combination, there wasn’t. But there was a test of the MMX gaming headset by beyerdynamic, which scored the highest marks and was just sightly criticised for the price tag
