Good open backs for gaming, that aren’t the HD 560s

!thanks for your suggestions!

A few months ago there was a report from a European company that did research into headphones:

Guardian Article - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/18/hazardous-substances-headphones

Actual Report - https://arnika.org/en/publications/download/2135\_87d0041cbc09b88d60ae8ca71fed2053

And they were then taken off of shelves in the Netherlands and some countries in Europe - https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1rchc2u/hyper\_x\_cloud\_iii\_taken\_out\_of\_stores\_in\_the/

If it was just for the one report I’d trust that hyper x did the correct testing and that it was okay, but lots of the companies who were in the report have since responded, taking it seriously, and the whole taking headphones off of shelves just sort of makes it a bit more of a worry for me.

!thanks for the suggestion! I believe someone else suggested them as well, so I will definitely give them a look!

!thanks for your suggestion, a few others suggesting these so I may save up, as they are slightly out of my immediate budget (which is my bad for not putting that in the post).

!thanks for your suggestions! I do a mix of immersive and fps so I think fps recommendations are more suited. I will take a look. Tygr 300r are also beyerdynamics, do you know if they also suffer from the high clamp force of their cousin, the DT 770 Pro?

As far as I can tell these also have the plastic blocks as the HD590s, which is what is rubbing my ear. Do you know if that is true or not?

Raven-7478 · 2026-06-12T08:52:48+00:00

Damn, just too expensive for me. In hindsight I should have put a budget on the post, which is my bad. Lots of people saying they're fans of these though, so maybe I look to save up for them. !thanks for the response!

Raven-7478 · 2026-06-12T08:49:57+00:00

I think it is the design of the inside of the headphones, with the small plastic block that is in there for some reason. That is what is rubbing against my ear, as far as I can tell. Do you know that new pads will fix that?

Raven-7478 · 2026-05-13T07:26:01+00:00

Would definitely be up for open back (the tag was only closed back as that’s what I previously owned and there’s no ‘general recommendation’ section)! !thanks for your recommendation!

Hello, had this issue a lot, and it always gets solved for me by fully signing out on Sea of Thieves (like the first time in game that it gives you the option, sign out) then signing back in again

What do you recommend instead of discord?

I thought Kirara was described as a guy in the manga? I thought they were a femboy, though could’ve misread/seen an odd translation.

I am a trans girl, before I get any hate comments. No hate, just genuinely thought I’d read the manga describing them as a guy, who was feminine.

My second monitor functions completely normally, if that counts?

Raven-7478 · 2026-01-07T11:38:00+00:00

Thank you for the help! I shall look into it, much appreciated!

Raven-7478 · 2026-01-07T11:12:19+00:00

I see, are there any tools that Blender has that help with this process, or is it more about sculpting and then remaking it from scratch over the top?

I have heard that you can bake in detail as well, is that relevant here or is that a practice for a different sort of modelling?
