Hello Guys and Gals,
I'm after a pair of open back headphones which will be used for both music and gaming on a very highend PC.
I have to stress I'm not an online competitive gamer. I do not need a mic. I game for fun and the experience.
Gaming fidelity is priority for me.
To help give an idea of where I stand with quality preference, my current set up contains;
77" LGC9
KEF R 500 5.1 Surround with R50 Atmos speakers.
Denon AVR X-7200wa
RTX2080TI Graphics Card.
I currently use a closed back Oppo PM-3 with a Chord Mojo amp.
Whilst I know audio is a personal preference, any input on helping me decide on a pair of open back headphones would be great.
Budget is around £1300
Headphones must have a good soundstage for atmosphere and imaging for location of enemies etc.
I like a powerful inpact sound for guns.
Massive sub bass is not a priority as long as its clear and defined.
I do like trebles to be detailed for glass breaking and ammunition shells hitting the ground. But I am sensitive to over bright trebles where sibilance is overbearing.
Sorry if I'm asking for too much
I've trawled the internet for reviews on headphones I'd like for music but can't find any reviews where people used them also for gaming.
Currently on my radar.
Focal Clear
HD800S
T1 Gen 2
I would like to continue to use my Chord Mojo for the next 2 years so ideally suited to this dac/amp.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.
