    I decided to make a different thread than the one Fet recently started because budget is different enough that it has a sizable impact.

    I've had my Astro A40s for a few years now, and I've really liked it, but my sound in the left ear is going out.

    I am open to either wired or wireless (would prefer 3.5 mm input) and I am comfortable in the $200 range, and willing to go up to $300. I really just want a good headset that will last me a few years.

    Recommendations?

    Beyer dynamics custom one plus, allows for adjusting the bass for taste on the fly through adjustable porting. I use a blue yeti for my mic but the independent mod mic is a great option if you want to have on headset. I also looked at the akg 7xx and 702 but didn't like the sound profile as much

    I have the Sennheiser 429 and love it. It cost below 90€ when I got it.

    For mic I have a one with a bendable stick and pedestal, if I needed I could attach it to the headset, cost something like 10€.

    Fits nicely over Oculus to create my very own alternate reality where I won't hear waifu call me to eat.
