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?

Sony WH-1000XM4
First couple days I actually got dizzy from the noise canceling, now I can't live without it.
I can't stand wired headphones anymore. They always seem to break somewhere along the cable or connection to the cable, no matter how careful you handle them. I can now also easily listen to music or whatever while doing stuff in the kitchen.

One note. I have not done this, but the WH-1000XM4s are now a generation behind. If someone is okay with that model, you can get older pairs on Ebay. If you can find a pair with worn pads, you can probably just get that pair and get replacement pads, maybe save a few bucks versus a new pair.

Works with earlier generations too (some people are not a huge fan of the touch controls). In this case it was severely reduced on black friday at the time, which looked like a decent investment.
