Most competitive games have sound cues so damn apparent, EarPods are as useful as HD 800s. There’s no direct improvement in skill with better headphones, just enjoyment.

It’s all about flavors of headphones for me. Once in a while, I want to switch the sound and EQ isn’t always available. Some headphones are excess in my lineup, but they’re there for memories or for other uses. Like one time, I sent a friend a package, and I used gen 1 Beats studios as padding for the box. That’s the most I’ve used them this year for.
