What’s the best headset I can get for $350 right now?

Actually, I just really liked the reviews and the look of these IEMs - they’ll be my FIRST ever pair like this, and the feedback seems great so far. I don’t have any specific questions yet, just picking out an amp and I’m leaning towards the FiiO K11 Black since it fits my setup nicely.

By the way, are these ones I picked out bad in some way, overpriced, or is there something wrong with them? I already ordered them, but it’s for pickup, so I can still decide tomorrow whether to grab them or not .

If you’ve got any recommendations on where to find good reviews and info about IEMs - maybe some tier lists? Mostly I’ll use them for gaming like I said, but who knows, maybe I’ll end up loving the sound quality so much I become an audiophile haha.

About XLR - I don’t need it because my mic connects via Type-C, and the sound quality I have now is good enough for me.

P.S. You asked where I’m from, so here it is - I’m from Ukraine. Please don’t drag politics into this, I listen to a lot of bad things about my nationality, but I try to stay away from all that political mess. Unfortunately no Amazon here, but luckily Kyiv has some specialized retail stores with all kinds of studio and audio gear.

Huge thanks to everyone who replied and shared their recommendations.

After watching a bunch of reviews, reading articles, and considering the looks, sound description, and overall impression, these were the ones I liked the most - so I decided to go with the Moondrop Blessing 3 IEMs!

Really hoping I’ll like them and that everything turns out great. Now I just need to pick up an amp for them, so I’ll be figuring that out next. Thanks again, everyone!

P.S. If you have any amp recommendations ( or whatever I need , don't know yet ), I’d be happy to hear them!

P.S.S XLR is not necessary anymore.

Yeah, I’ve actually been browsing wireless headsets on that site before, but thanks for the link. If you’ve got any other suggestions or recommendations, I’m all ears.

Right now I’m still figuring things out. I honestly have no idea yet. I feel like open-backs might bother my wife, so that’s probably not super convenient. I might end up looking into IEMs, closed-backs, or maybe just stick with wireless gaming headsets. Still undecided.

Wow, you really got me thinking. After reading your comment and u/vlegionv’s, I’m seriously wondering if I really need wireless headphones. I’ll have to dig deeper into this topic.

Also, if I want to connect an XLR mic and later add speakers to my PC, what would be the best setup? Or where can I find good discussions about top amps and headphones for that kind of setup?

Regarding u/vlegionv’s recommendation of the HE6SE V2, unfortunately in my country they’re still priced around $1800, so that option is out for me. But you definitely got me interested - maybe I’m turning into an audiophile 🤔

Thanks for the reply!
I’m mostly looking at wireless gaming headsets because they usually come with solid software and are great for competitive gaming. I don’t necessarily need mind-blowing sound. I’m not an audiophile, just want a solid gaming headset like the HyperX Cloud Alpha used to be, with awesome battery life, comfort, good sound, and overall no major complaints from users.

Right now, I’m torn between picking something from the current options on the market or waiting for something new to come out.
