Meze 99 Classics

“**Fun Gaming Headsets:** Immersion and fun as the priority. They may offer a bassy or v-shaped sound, some even fairly neutral so long as its fun-sounding and handles EQ well. Sound quality **WILL** take a hit for the sake of fun. Good for single-player games and casual immersive fps, and music if you like the sound signature. Most are v-shaped or warm. But there will be a bassy headphone or two listed. **Auto message, please respond for more info.** 1. If you don't want to sacrifice sound quality avoid this category or look for the ones marked with **LC (Low Compromise)** 2. ​ 3. ​ 4. ​ 5. Do note, for closed-back I don't have all labeled as I'm still working through that all. 6. Prices do not include the mic. 7. VMBP = Vmoda Boom Pro 8. HS = Headset, noting it has a built-in mic. 9. All of the non-VMBP compatible mics should be paired with an Antlion Mod-Mic. **Fun Gaming Headsets:** **Open-Back** |*Name*|*Recommended Price*|*Sound Signature*|*Notes:*| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |Koss KSC-35|$50USD||Maybe the best price to performance headphone.
