What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux? (lemmy.world)

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?

I don't like headphones designed for the gaming market. I use a Sennheiser HD 599 which is a few years old now. Sounds excellent both for music and other activities. Open backs are great for when wearing headphones for long periods; my ears don't get sweaty nor fatigued even when wearing good open-backs for hours on end.
