I need a new pair of headphones for my PC, what EU options are there? It would be good if they can be comfortably worn with glasses.

Repeat is not only designed in EU but also built in EU, and the company prioritizes sustainability.

I can’t comment on the glasses compatibility.

Ehm. But they are regular headphones, not tailored towards gaming.

I've been looking at them for a while now. Do you have any info, where the production/assembly takes actually place?

Am gonna be honest, "gaming headphones" is just a marketing term to sell cheap RGB shit for much more. Maybe the term is used for headphones with built in mic, but that's about it.

My next set of headphones are going to be Hi-X65 from Austrian Audio. https://austrian.audio/

They have cheaper options depending on your budget, but I haven't looked into how good they are.

I really like my Austrian Audio PG16. Extremely clear sound with lots of highs, which is good for competitive shooters. The bass is lacking tho.

Beyerdynamic. German company.

They are comfy pillows on your head. Significantly more comfortable than any gaming headset I have ever seen.

They have gamic headsets that wipe the floor with steelseries or similar. Or you can get one of their audio focused headsets.

Then just get a standing mic (way way way way better audio than headset boom mics)

Or do what I did before getting a standing mic and just get a replacement microphone for a standard gaming headset and a male to male or male to female aux cable with zip ties.

Behringer, t.bone, JTS, turtle beach (what I used, american company though), etc...

Or a modmic alternative like the audiotechnica ATGM2 or a lavalier mic (sennheiser has one), etc...

Bonus is you get a ridiculous higher audio quality for gaming, movies, and music.

a standing mic

Hello, what is your current setup, in terms of microphone, interface, etc. ? Always curious about those things

As that coincides with what he was recommending, I've been using Beyerdynamics Fox gaming system, i.e. the gaming headphones and the microphone that are bundled. Honestly works great, haven't had one problem and they are studio quality plus plug and play USB-C. The one time I had a broke cable with my headphones (my negligence) they simply repaired it free of charge while also changing the cushions - well after the 2 year warranty

So strong recommendation
