DT 770 PRO, HD560s, FT1 or ATH-M50x for FPS gaming and music?
I'm looking for a new headphone for use on a PC mainly for FPS gaming and chatting on discord/work calls, but also for music listening. I'm following the advice of moving away from gaming headsets and while searching on here and r/headphones I've come across these options on the price range I'm comfortable with and availability in Brazil.
Problem is that with subjectivenes of multiple people commenting on their preferences it's very hard to come to a usefull understanding of which one is best for me, for every good review I find of any of those I find a bad one so I'm asking for some guidance from you guys, is any of these straight up bad for my use case or is it all up to personal preference?
I'm coming from a HyperX Cloud Orbit S and I enjoy their sound quality and profile (much better than my previous gaming headphones) but I found the build quality to be very lacking. If you couldn't tell already I'm not an audiophile but I enjoy good quality sound so my standards are not that high.
I listen to all kinds of music from classical to pop, rap, rock, metal to bass heavy styles like EDM, techno and dark trance. I don't care about having a mic as I have a standalone one, I also don't have a DAC and would be plugging it directly into the motherboard but if it's a game changer I can look into buying one.
I noticed some of these have wireless options and while I don't plan on using then outside I do like the option to unplug from my PC, some reviews for the bluetooth versions don't look too good though so if there's any comments on that I would appreciate!
