I don’t change headphones much.
I currently have the SteelSeries Siberia V2 and the Bose QC 35 II.

I don’t ever use the SteelSeries headset because the strap broke off and the metal pokes me. It lasted probably 6 years. It started falling apart after 4 years. The strap broke pretty easily.

I love my Bose headphones. They are great on planes and decent with audio. However they don’t produce very good audio when plugged in via analog.

Hope this helps!

Extremely late to the game, but since this project is on the backburner anyway, I’ll add my $.02:

In ear: Google Pixel Buds (Second gen)

Previously I had LG Tone PLatinums, and a previous generation of Tones before that.

Over ear: SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, with the transmitter connected to my desktop via optical S/PDIF, and also connected to my mobile devices via BT

Previously - Astro Gaming A40 (Wired)

A small update to what I’m now regularly using in the pandemic :wink:

In-Ear:

  • Samsung Galaxy Buds
  • Sony MH-755 (but much less now)

On-Ear:

  • Still nothing.

Over-Ear:

  • Cleer Flow II (mostly for meetings, but the sound is ‘good enough’ for listening while working)
  • Denon AH-MM400

To be fair, one of the main points of a headphone for me is that I can wear it for hours on end so that colours what I wear quite a bit.

I used to have a pair of Sennheisers that had been handed down to me as my over ear pair, don’t remember the model. Currently a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x that I love.

My in ear pair are Soundcore Liberty Air gen 1. Affordable with better battery life than most brands. For Bluetooth headphones I definitely value longevity first since I tend to use those more for audiobooks and podcasts. 8 hours of use with 32 more in the charge case is just nice.

At the desk: AKG K550s, amazing soundstage, however really analytical, which makes them good for gaming, but not for easy-listening. They’re insanely comfortable and I can wear them for hours.

For on-the-go, I picked up a pair of KZ ZS10 Pros. They’re cheap, so it’s not too bad if I lose them, and they sound amazing. I even find myself preferring them for listening to music over the AKGs!

Over my ears: Beats Studio 3 (2019) → I am kind of surprised that these aren’t more used considering the popularity of the brand and that they are owned by Apple, though I do have to say that the quality has significantly gone down over the past 3+/- years. I personally would not buy these again because of their lack of quality.

In my ears: Anroog wireless earbuds (2016)

Gaming: Sony Pulse 3D Headset
