Hey! I've looked around for a few hours at different options but I figured I may as well get opinions from people who are really into this stuff. I'm recently in the market for new headphones as my current ones are starting to fall apart. I'm looking for something more professional than just the cheap gaming headphones as I've recently purchased a dedicated microphone so I don't need one on my headset and I'd like to get a pair that will last for quite some time. I've seen a lot of people mention the Sennheiser HD560S which I've tried them in stores and I like them decently well but I'd really prefer closed-back headphones. Here's some stuff about what I'm looking for:

  • My previous headset is a Corsair HS60 Pro Wired Headset. This headset fits me decently well with it only getting a little uncomfortable after a very long time of wearing them. Id like something with a similar-ish fit that can be worn for very long periods of time without feeling uncomfortable
  • Budget - Under $250 USD would be nice but a hard ceiling would probably be around $350 USD, especially since I'm looking for something medium/higher ranged
  • Source - I'd prefer to just have a single 3.5mm output. I don't want to have to use an amp or anything, just something I can plug into my desktop computer
  • Preferences:
    • No active noise cancellation
    • Closed back
    • Over ear
    • Wired
    • Surround sound
    • No attached microphone (this isn't an extremely hard no but avoid if at all possible)
  • This headset will just be used in my house at my desktop
  • I don't have a hard preference when it comes to timbre but I do listen to a very wide variety of music. This headset will be used for gaming, consuming media (videos and audio), and for calling

Thank you for any help and let me know if I can provide any more information

 

Hey guys, I recently switched cell providers which updated my phone to Android 12. Prior to this, I had my phone configured so that only calls will vibrate, not notifications. I did this by setting my phone to vibrate and changing the notification vibration pattern to silent. After upgrading, this still works, except in one circumstance. When I have my headphones plugged in, any messaging application, such as Discord or Messages, will seem to completely ignore my vibration settings. I also tested setting the notification vibration intensity to the minimum, and this setting seems to be ignored as well. Does anyone know what the issue could be? I've looked through every setting I can find and nothing obvious seems to be wrong. Thanks for the help
