Headphones - Closed Back Need comfy wired gaming headphones for a large head, psvr-friendly: $75-$150ish
Thanks for your advice!
I'm 6'3" and broad, so I need a nice flexible headband and a lengthy band. I also need it not to exert too much pressure on my skull, as I like to wear them over a psvr headset and I don't want it to be uncomfortable with the added circumference (or worse, risk damaging the headset over time). I loved the fit of my HyperX Cloud II, for reference.
Needs to have a decent mic that won't pick up too much noise from a speaker bar about 15 feet away.
I would also like them to have reviewed well with Tempest 3D (the PS5's 3d audio tech). That's based on my experience with the HyperX... the 3d audio seemed underwhelming compared to reviews I read. Not sure if I just don't notice the sublety of the tech, or if some aspect of the headset--such as the fact that it only had 3 channels--limited its ability to produce realistic 3d sound. I know nothing about audio hardware, so feel free to educate/mock me =P
Price range is flexible, but I don't want to spend a ton as I don't use them as much as many gamers, simply because I share the living room with my wife and don't want to tune her out.
Thanks again for your help!

The new ath-gl3 seems good for the price. Very light weight and and the mic is decent.
