Ok…so this has been a struggle for me for a while. I like to game. I like to listen to music.

Been using turtle beach headsets for a while until I decided to get something different.

Bought Beyerdynamic Custom Pros off marketplace that came with a basic antlion mic. They were in OK overall condition, but the ear pads were messed up. Although I really like the way, the original ear pads felt, they were super gross. Bought some velour pads that were recommended for the headset.

What I like about the head set:

-Look relatively cool compared to other headsets I’ve had

-sound pretty good. I can’t tell the difference between good and bad sound since I don’t have high quality headphones but they sound good to me.

-mic has a mute toggle instead of just a button you’d have to keep holding

What I don’t like/wish they had:

-replacement pads weren’t as comfortable as og earpads. Head started to hurt after prolonged use

-no volume control on headset which makes it extremely annoying to try and hear other people IRL or if I need to tweak the volume quickly in game I have to go through game menus instead of easily turning a volume dial on headset.

-the god damn fucking cables that I need to get everything connected. Fuck cables.

So I’ve decided to try and get something else

Here’s the thing. I just want to get one set of headphones that I can use for everything. I want to be able to use it on my PlayStation, and on my Xbox, and anywhere else if I wanted to. My PlayStation headphones would not work on a Microsoft console and vice versa because Microsoft requires a proprietary chip to be in the headset for it to work on their system. I’m sick of being tied down and getting caught on things with the cables. It’s just too much cabling and sometimes feels a little heavy. I wish I had the OPTION of going wireless or not.

I’m in Canada. I’d also love to keep the cost below 150 at the highest if I can.
