What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux? (self.linux_gaming)

Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless.. but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps.

What are you all using?

Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn't add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os. Never worked on win10 for some reason.

Same here. Great headphones. Stock pads will start to fall apart after about a year and a half depending on how sweaty you are but you can get sheepskin replacements that will last much longer after that. Also adding a ModMic works nicely with these as well.

oh thanks for the heads up on the sheepskin replacement. I wear headphones for drumming too (vdrums) but haven't sweat too much in these ones just yet.

AT m50x with a modmic here. The cabling can be a hassle, but I love the damn things.
