Whether you’re listening to your new favorite album or duking it out in the world of online video games, a good set of over-ear headphones is a must-have. A high-quality pair of cans lets your ears pick up every detail, from the crisp highs and bass-filled lows of a song to all of the subtle environmental sound cues of game worlds, providing you with a truly immersive entertainment experience.

Audio-Technica is a popular manufacturer of high-end audio equipment that makes some of the highest-rated gear available on the market today. Its ATH-AD1000X Audiophile headphones are among the best that money can buy. The Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X features an over-ear design with soft suede cups that sit comfortably around your ears (rather than on top of them) and better isolate sound for hours of continuous wear.

Unlike cheaper headphones that feature mostly plastic construction, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X Audiophile boasts a sturdy yet lightweight magnesium alloy frame. This allows the Audiophile headphones to ditch the traditional bulky headband for a sleeker minimalist design that utilizes Audio-Technica’s proprietary 3D wing head supports, cutting down on weight and adding to your overall comfort when you’re wearing your headphones for hours at a time.

The Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X are a full-size set of cans with hardware to match. The headphones feature beefy 53mm large-aperture drivers with OFC-7N voice coils specifically designed for this model that deliver crisp highs, clear mids, and punchy lows. The thick four-core audio cable is also dual-sided, with independent ground wires leading from each can, ensuring optimal stereo sound quality from the left and right channels. The 3.5mm gold-plated connector jack also comes with a 1/4-inch adapter for use with amplifiers and other such equipment.

Through Saturday, October 14, you can score the Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000X over-ear headphones for $229 from Newegg, giving you a $70 discount off its normal price. For a limited time, however, you can also score a free $60 Newegg gift card with your order while supplies last, which effectively gives you a total savings of $130.

While VR may not be as big as was predicted back in the early 2000s when the original Oculus Go was released, there is still a considerable market these days, and some great VR games like Half-Life: Alyx that you can have fun with. Of course, VR headsets remain expensive, and while options like the Meta Quest don't necessarily require a high-end gaming PC, they can still be a bit pricey for those who just want to put a foot in the hobby. Luckily, there are some good deals you can take advantage of, even on some of the best VR headsets, so be sure to check out all your options below.
Meta Quest 2 -- $199, was $200

Even though the Meta Quest 3 came out quite recently, the Meta Quest 2 is still a pretty powerful contender, especially since it has a wider library and app support than the Quest 3 currently has. Even more so, the Quest 2 is a lot cheaper than the Quest 3, and with the latest permanent discount down to just $200, that's a whole $300 or so difference from the Quest 3. Of course, the Quest 3 does have more advanced AR and slightly better performance with software and Wi-Fi, but that may not be worth the extra cost for some. Either way, be sure to check out the breakdown between Quest 2 and Quest 3 to get a better sense of what you should pick up.

Sitting down to play video games for hours and hours can be a lot of fun, but it can also be pretty bad for your health.

That said, gaming chairs can be quite expensive, which is why we've gone out and found some of our favorite gaming chair deals for you to pick from.
