Ballpark budget?

Edit: assuming you want something decent for as cheap as possible in case your child breaks/loses them. I'll go ahead and recommend the Koss Porta Pro. It may not look like much but it's actually very popular. It's pretty much the God-tier of budget headphones because it sounds incredible for how cheap it is. I don't really know what the build quality is like, but for this price you could almost justify buying two in case your kid breaks one. They fold up for portability and have lots of sizing options which should be good for little heads.

The only way I know of to limit db level with the headphone itself would be by buying a pair that has high impedence, which means that powering it from your phone or tablet won't give it enough juice to get very loud even at max volume. However, those are typically more expensive and serious headphones. (Beyerdynmic DT 770 at 80 ohms or 250 ohms is a good example, and they are lovely headphones, but would probably swallow your kid's head, not to mention your vacation spending money.)

A better way is probably to use some external software to limit volume, but I'm afraid I know nothing about that. I'm just assuming that's a thing. Good luck.

Then just choose a different color scheme?

The Koss PortaPro headphones are what's rumored to have been on the CV1. They mention this on the Rift-S Review on Adam Savage's Tested.

The PortaPro fits pretty well underneath the Rift-S for me. That is, put the headphones on first, then the HMD. Then maybe tuck the headphone cable into your shirt so your arm doesn't get snagged on it.

If you want to avoid this extra step though, you can take the PortaPro speakers off of the headband and use 3D printed mounting brackets (the link to get these is in the description for the Tested video) to attach them to the Rift-S just like on the CV1.

Depending on your laptop you might have crappy audio to begin with, so it doesn't matter much. If you want good audio look into a decent DAC and a good pair of headphones.

There are some good DACs out there for under $100, and for headphones for under $100 there are Grado Labs (I love these), Audio Techica, Senheiser, Koss (people still love the PortaPro for under $40), and many others.

For good cheap earbuds there's no shortage from China. AudioBudget is a great review site of these. They review ones under $50.

u/JorgTheElder · 2 pointsr/OculusQuest

The Quest strap is small enough that you should be able to use just about any headphones.

These Koss have long been said to the same drivers as the Rift CV1. I am even working on a 3D print to use attach them to the Quest.

u/oren88 · 2 pointsr/OculusQuest

Here's a good list for you:


  1. Proximat or some other solution like this puzzle mat.
  2. Very good Powerbank (Anker PowerCore 20100mAh).
  3. VR Cover (must have).
  4. Magnetic USB-C Cables.
  5. Heavy Duty Rugged Hard Case/Cover with Shoulder Strap.
  6. Not a must but a nice solution for headphones (rift-like) credit's to TESTED.
    You will need to 3D Print some stuff here.

Not exactly earbuds, but these have been my favourite headphones for over 10 years: https://www.amazon.com/Koss-Porta-Pro-Black-Headphones/dp/B0755N6CSR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536354310&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=koss+portapro&psc=1

u/flibbertigibblet · 2 pointsr/Metal

Can I just throw the Koss PortaPro out there? Crazy good for really cheap. Small and portable, lifetime warranty and they sound absolutely wonderful.

Just watch out because they are kind of open so they leak sound a bit. I can't recommend them enough though.

u/ASmallRiceBag · 2 pointsr/Overwatch

These Koss Porta Pro headphones are on sale right now for 30 bucks USD, and they're honestly worth every penny in sound quality. They're the cheap gems of the audiophile community. Also, if you prefer over-ear, they've got these guys here for only 26 bucks. The build quality of Koss headphones are nothing to write home about, but the sound is always consistent and clear. If you want to spend more, for $100 USD the Audio Technica ATH-M40x headphones are worth their weight in actual gold for the amazing sound quality.

u/FatchRacall · 2 pointsr/HeadphoneAdvice

Porta pros are on sale :)

I've been using some closed back Koss cans for years now (with a cable-clip mic for gaming). I'll grab the model when I get home from work, but they've been great so far. Not "outstanding" but miles beyond just about anything else I've sampled in the sub-$50 range.

If you could scrounge up an extra $20 (or live near Milwaukee, WI and can go to their outlet store), I bought these for a nephew and thought they were really good for his gaming... Not so sure about music quality, to be honest. https://www.amazon.com/Koss-GMR-545-AIR-Headphones-Detachable-Microphones/dp/B0759XHKQK/.

Yeah I bought mine on Amazon. It was the last one... Here's the link

And here's the headphones for them

To be honest they just make it more like the rift. They are not amazing headphones but they are light weight and get thy job done.

u/pillowdemon · 1 pointr/EliteDangerous

Insight tracking is excellent, and I quite enjoy the Passthrough+ feature.

The blind spots are anywhere directly behind your body that the cameras don't have straight line vision to (I've spent the last half hour actually testing this with the floor mirror in Beat Saber). Where they do have vision to, I actually think tracking feels better than my CV1 4-sensor setup (which were spaced quite far apart) just because the headset cameras, being on your face, have much better resolution to the controllers at all times.

I would say comfort is on-par with the original rift. There are tradeoffs that pretty much wash out the experience for me. Namely, the foam/velvet padding lining the halo portion is pretty dang nice. It's not memory foam level, but it's high quality. There's an under-button that adjusts how far the goggle frame sits from your face, so you can adjust it so that it's suspended nicely in front of you, instead of pressed against your face leading to what I like to call "Rift Raccoon Face". So these are all nice, but SPECIFICALLY FOR SEATED EXPERIENCES LIKE ELITE DANGEROUS, having the hard plastic halo means you can't lean back your head against your gaming chair anymore. (I have a gaming chair.) I haven't sat down yet with Elite for the evening, but this WILL be an issue for me. That's the comfort negative.

Everything else? Pure upgrade. Visuals are a big upgrade, it's also huge for me that I don't have wires snaked all over my apartment. Out of the box, hooked up to the PC, and playing a game took less than 5 minutes. Not even exaggerating. Another big issue for me is that my computer desk is at the "corner" of my VR space, so I would have to redraw or disable Guardian lines every single time switching from Elite Dangerous to standing/roomscale experiences (if I went to go sit at my desk in VR, the guardian lines would be always up). The process of redrawing guardian lines now takes less than 30 seconds, and it's an enjoyable experience. Again, Passthrough+ is really cool.

Also, preemptively, I think all Rift S owners need these until Oculus comes up with a 1st party solution:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0755N6CSR

Those are literally the CV1 headphones which Oculus repurposed/packaged for the CV1. Ergo, identical audio experience (I've verified this this throughout the past day). It's not a clean solution by any means, but for me the headphones are lightweight and fit neatly over my head then the Rift S right on top of it, and I quite liked the CV1 aural experience for what it was.

u/borgmama · 1 pointr/migraine

I also need loose headphones. I’ve had different versions of these Koss headphones for years.

https://www.amazon.com/Koss-Porta-Pro-Black-Headphones/dp/B0755N6CSR/

They have a switch that loosens them after you put them on.

Read some reviews about them over on /r/headphones

They may not be your cup of tea but I think they sound amazing and they are light and portable.

Koss Porta Pro Black On Ear Headphones with Case Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0755N6CSR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_VhJ0Cb68N68SA

Incredibly solid. Blow most headphones out of the water until the 150-200 range.

Most of the benefit from in-ear monitors is from sound isolation and the inside canal portion. If you don't have something going in the canal, you may as well get something that has larger drivers that rests outside the ear.

I have glasses, so anything I recommend has worked very well with me.

The KOSS Porta-Pro are highly regarded on-ear headphones, that have very light clamping pressure, and only rest on the ear (not around) so the glasses should be less of an issue. They sound very good and often drop very cheap.

The Sennheiser HD558's are one of my favorite and most comfortable pair of over-ear headphones, and the newer 579's are near your price point. Downside is they are open backed, so don't expect to use them in quiet places in public without bothering everyone around you.

u/Joe10112 · 1 pointr/headphones

Thanks for the note. Amazon has the Koss Portapros for $35 right now, but they are on-ear while I think I would need over-ears.

I did suspect that Monoprice does make good headphones that punch above their class, so I think I'll definitely highly consider the 8323.

u/DLF-FH2 · 1 pointr/oculus

Overall imho the Rift S is the better upgrade when you look at the price of 450€. The sound is really a downer, but you can mod the Rift S with the same headphones as the OG Rift as has been shown by u/Tyrantkv:Headphone Adapter for Oculus Rift S Compatible with Koss Porta Pro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TD9YWF2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SiysDbMWSR687

In the US you can get the Clips 3d Printed from JorgTheElder on Thigyverse for 20 dollars. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3664007

And here's the headphones for them

Koss Porta Pro Black On Ear Headphones with Case Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0755N6CSR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pjysDbB5DB3B0

Or go for a used OG Rift for 200€ or less.

Mouse definitely logitech unless you need very specific type of mouse like Naga that has 12 side buttons or something

keyboard I didn't feel much of difference between the two. But atm I'm using the new Logitech wireless mouse G613. I hate wires and Logitech finally made wireless keyboard that doesn't have any lag

for headphone... i wouldn't use either one. it's so trash for the price; not just talking about kraken but "gaming" headset/headphone in general

for around same price I recommend:



Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphone

https://www.amazon.com/Status-Audio-Closed-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B01BDX1IVW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8


and then just buy Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMCS3-Omnidirectional-Stereo-Microphone/dp/B0058MJX4O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8


now if you want to go best bang for buck; Koss Porta Pro Black On Ear Headphones


https://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B0755N6CSR/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1448205725


now that one it looks so filmsy and etc... and yes it is but sound quality wise this thing can go par with up to in some cases 150ish dollar range headphones

u/10GuyIsDrunk · -1 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Here, I'd recommend these if you're not willing to breach $100.

EDIT: Also I haven't used them, but these come highly recommended in the price range (that's six links, not one). Though they are closed so keep that in mind.
