Budget: 80-150€
I’m looking for a pair of headphones to purchase, mostly for gaming. I’ve been using earbuds for the last few years but want to try out headphones. I heard Sennheiser is a good european brand and that their headphones are pretty good. What do y’all recommend?
You do nothing wrong with Sennheiser. I used the Sennheiser 450BT for some years and I’m now using the 350BT for listening to music on public transport. Those are both pretty good but I wouldn’t recommend them for gaming. In general is it a brand that sells high quallity headphones but not specificly for gaming. Their prices are usually quite high. You get high quality for a high price.
Sennheiser sold off their consumer headset decision, it’s now just a licensed name. They also stopped selling spare parts! Very annoyed.
I mean, I don’t really need super low latency ones for gaming. They just shouldn’t sound horrible and the build quality should be decent. I was thinking of buying Accentum since it is a bit newer than the 450BT and is also within my budget. I found some new ones for ~120 euros. What do you think?
With Sennheiser you will get good build quality and good sound. The Accentum look really good. Maybe look out for Bluetooth or cable for gaming, I really like Bluetooth but maybe not all devices work with it. I would recommend looking out for some other opinions than mine but I would say the Accentum are a good and save call.
I am indeed leaning more towards them but I’ll look at what the others here say and decide.
Bluetooth is something I want, but probably not something I’d use everyday. Afaik the Accentum do have an AUX (or USB-C?) output for audio, which I could plug into my computer. So it is not an issue there.
If you want wireless gaming, forget about Bluetooth, period. You need low latency connection which will not be Bluetooth based and requires separate USB dongle. My Logitech g535s are even recognizable by Android phones.
Don’t buy them for music, they are correct but… I do not recommend them for music as they don’t match my taste, but they are still usable. You will be disappointed.
Perfect for meetings, Ok for gaming. Reasonable price (often available well under MSRP). Ok for mixed usage, not good for music :)
