Something reasonably cheap, rough budget of 200 {CURRENCY_UNIT}. preferably closed back, wired, and no fancy features requires (I don't really care about wireless or noise cancelling or whatever)
thanks for any suggestions

alright I'll check them out, ty

very accurate
there's 3 variants with 32, 80, 250 Ohm
32 Ohm is easy to drive with a phone, 80 Ohm might be hard with a phone but okay with a motherboard, but 250 Ohm you really want a headphone amplifier
so I'd say for phone usage go with 32 Ohm for PC usage go with 80 Ohm
south holly
after a quick search that does seem like pretty much exactly what I'm looking for
I think I'm mostly gonna be using them with my pc, I plan to get an external DAC and amp someday but not right now

i have the 80 ohms and i love them
south holly
yeah 80 ohm looks like the best compromise for what I'm gonna do
kind wigeon
though they're a bit flat, no V or anything
south holly
cos listening to stuff on my phone is also useful
kind wigeon
will likely sound much more enjoyable with a decent bass and treble boost
south holly
interesting, I know nothing about that kind of thing but I assume it can be done in software?

i highly recommend against anything gaming branded, it generally costs more for less quality

they're not the most isolating headphones I've ever worn. but are you sure you want clsoedbacks? openbacks are much better for that
personally i use zero latency monitoring to hear myself talk

the problem is that I want to be able to use them in public as well so I don't want them to leak so much sound out yk
as long as they aren't completely isolating it's fine tho

I like the HyperX Cloud Alpha S headphones. I've used them for a while and they've been comfortable wand good (at least for gaming and general use. These are probably not for audiophiles) https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-alpha-s?variant=41031691206813

this isn't a recommendation, but out of curiosity, why prefer wired? personally I would avoid wired ones, I like not having to care about the wire in terms of both convenience and durability. And can walk around freely with the headphones on
not having to charge maybe
kind wigeon
wired also has loads of advantages, like never worrying about batteries, better quality, and easier to take to other devices

oh and delay as well I guess, I use the wire that came with my headphones when I want to make sure music syncs with game
specifically most concerned in this celeste map with music as precise sound cues https://youtu.be/qA3BpACmpMU

a good wire won't break easily (i cant tell how many times i rolled over the DT770 pro wire with the chair) and it can be long enough i can walk to the other end of the room
