Hey everyone! My headphones just broke, and now the right speaker isn't working at all, so I need to grab a new pair. I'm hoping to stay within a budget of $100 to $130. I mainly play RPGs, so I really don't need a microphone. I'd prefer closed-back headphones, and while I'd like them to be wireless, I'm okay with wired options as long as the cable is long enough. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The Sal notes Zero's are fantastic! They sound incredible and only run about $30, which is a steal for the quality you get.
If you don't really need a mic, I'd suggest steering clear of gaming headsets. They often offer lower sound quality while being overpriced. You might want to look into brands like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, or Sony for good options. Just a heads up, avoid Bose if you're looking for better value as well!
Check out the Sony MDR-7506! They outperform most 'gamer' headsets at similar prices. They're closed-back and over-ear, and you can usually find them for around $100 on Amazon.
You might want to check out the Sennheiser DT 770s. They’re a bit above your budget, but they're really comfy and have great sound. Plus, there are plenty of replacement parts available online.
Consider getting IEMs (In-Ear Monitors)! They can be great for gaming while keeping the budget down.
I get what you're saying, but with the right gaming headset, you can find some decent quality too. Still, I agree that regular Bluetooth headphones can be a solid choice for your RPG gaming!
