New Head-Fier
First post, sorry if I’m missing anything. If I am, just let me know and I’ll add a comment below.
I love listening to music, and I especially like the feeling of being enveloped in what I’m listening to. I’ve never been much on bass, as I prefer clarity and definition in what I’m listening to, but I enjoy it when it’s there and contributes to the experience.
That being said, the current Pandemic means I’m working from home for at least the next few years and don’t have a need for battery powered and Bluetooth setups. I sold a pair of Bose QC35 I used at the office and moved to an Audeze Mobius for gaming and music while I still had my laptop. I was using the Bose over Bluetooth and the Mobius gave me much better positional audio in games and a hi-res mode for music.
Now that I’m at my home office all day at a desktop again, I’ve purchased a Schiit Modi/Mani dac/amp stack and started looking for a headset to pair with it. I saw that the AKG 702 provided great positional audio in gaming but seemed to lack a bit of comfort and overall music quality compared to the AKG 712 Pro. I’m not tied to either of these sets, just looking for suggestions <$400 That give positional audio in gaming and quality sound in music.
