Top Audiophile Headphones For Gaming Below 400

It's rare seeing a pair of headphones that genuinely shine in almost every regard. But with the WH-1000XM3, Sony has created an indisputable winner, a categorically top-notch set of cans whose only shortcoming is the absence of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, something we hardly ever see outside of the gaming market. They do have Bluetooth, though, so as long as you have a smart TV, an Nvidia Shield, a gaming laptop, or a Bluetooth-capable motherboard, you should be set for the reclusive world of active noise canceling. Unlike other noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM3 use an unusually silent QN1 HD noise-canceling processor. In our testing, we found it was able to keep out most sounds, even on the crowded New York City subway. The battery does take a hit for this, but you can take solace in the fact that the WH-1000XM3 last 30 hours fully charged. After 10 minutes of being plugged in via USB-C, Sony claims they can deliver pristine high fidelity sound over five hours. And, to top it all off, volume and playback commands are touch-based. Goodbye forever, inline controls. Image 1 of 6

Got these for editing and they are amazing . If you have never had a pair of audiophile headphones and are looking to get yourself a pair these are the ones

As an audiophile and an owner of some of the best headphones from Sennheiser and others, I must say that the AirPods Max Headphones are excellent - - in fact they are terrific. The sound quality is superb and the headphones are extremely comfortable. This product gets my highest rating of 5/5.

I've used about 400 of these for burning audiophile quality music CDs and at 24x they burn flawlessly. Easy to label with a sharpie too.

As a low level audiophile, this sound card is reasonably priced for the sheer enjoyment I got from the first song I listened to through my gaming headphones.

I am very happywith it so far. The sound quality is great, and as long as you aren't a picky audiophile this is fantastic. It is really good for gaming as well. The main reason I got them is because I don't want the hassle of headphones weighing down on my head and causing ear pain when gaming for a long time, and these serve that pretty well as well.

I am not an audiophile so I will write this review from regular person perspective. I would design them little bit bigger. These headphones after an hour of listening becomes uncomfortable due to pressure they exert on ears. And here inner battle begins because the way they sound is so amazing that I don't want to take them off! I simply don't know what is worse: discomfort or NOT listening music through these headphones? Sound quality is so great that despite the comfort issue I rate them for 5 stars!

I am the furthest things from an audiophile, but I sure do enjoy a nice pair of headphones. In the last few years I've owned the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10, Bose MiE2, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Sennheiser HD595, V-moda M-100, etc. And I would have to say that these SE535's are by far the BEST sounding headphones I've ever used. The price is hefty, but it's worth every penny. I remember listening to a few songs & hearing aspects of the songs that I had completely missed in the past. Honestly at first I was unsure of this purchase because of its price tag. But I started to truly appreciate how good these were when I tried using other pairs of headphones. I then realized I could never go back. The noise cancellation on these are great as well. Whenever I'm out at a cafe, I can pop these in and just focus on my music and my work. It comes with different sized fitting foams for your ears that create a great seal. I personally use the yellow foams. It is comfortable enough for me to keep on for hours at a time. You surely won't regret getting a pair of Shure SE535! It is unmatched in quality, sound, & comfort. What are you waiting for? Check them out now!

I spent a bit more than I usually do on the cheaper Tascam studio headphones, and so far it has been worth it and even eye-opening. I am not an audiophile but, the quality, to my ear, is amazing. I also really like the coiled cord so that I am not wrangling it at my desk or at a shoot.

I am not an audiophile but I was blown away by these headphones. They have great bass and excellent highs and mids. I would definitely recommend these headphones for this price! They are very big on your head but are very comfortable.
