Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless… but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps.
What are you all using?

I have the astro A40s. the mixamp doesn’t seem to work on arch with both outputs, but you can always get just the headphones without the mixamp.
the A50s are wireless, which implies there’s no mix amp
Sennheiser HD 599 Have had em for a couple years, they were my first proper open back headphones and I’ve fallen in love with them
Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn’t add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os and is easy to switch between headphones mode (stereo audio) or headset (mono sound +mic) mode. Never worked on win10 for some reason.
Same here. Great headphones. Stock pads will start to fall apart after about a year and a half depending on how sweaty you are but you can get sheepskin replacements that will last much longer after that. Also adding a ModMic works nicely with these as well.
AT m50x with a modmic here. The cabling can be a hassle, but I love the damn things.
Same headphones here, love 'em
I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)
Just a regular Sennheiser HD 569. I don’t like gaming headphones.
Logitech G935 here ^
Using a Bose 700 on popOS with bluetooth, works perfectly.
AKG K371 + Qudelix 5k (for when I want BT support) with PEQ using pipewire built in eq (although this model doesn’t require it).
I may get a pair of Audeze Maxwell down the line, although I’m not sure if the 2.4Ghz wireless is supported on Linux.
Logitech G Pro X
When I need a microphone I use my Cloud Alpha S, but most of the time I use my Letshuoer S12 with a CX-31993 and in the future I plan on getting an Audio Technica ATH-R70x.
If you want wireless, you could always get a good pair of headphones and pair them with either the FiiO BTR5 or the Qudelix5k.

I’m using the Moondrop Aria Snow. Not to expensive, and they sound pretty good if you ask me.
Sony MDR-7506 wired into a Focusrite dac; the tried and true pair that radio stations across the world have used for years and years.
I use Audio Technica ATH-m50x through a Topping DAC. Honestly really like the Koss Studio headphones as well and that’s what I’m looking to pick up. Obviously not better than DT880 or some Sennheiser, but I like to buy cheaper headphones.
Good old Sony MDR-7506 I found in e-waste, replaced the pads and they are golden (light and comfy over ear)! Before that I was using a modified David Clark H10 headset (heavy but naturally isolated with loads of insulation) with MDR-CD999 drivers (can’t believe these were a perfect fit) a Shure boom but it’s only for when the environmental noise is particularly hostile.
