I think it was discontinued and continued back and forth for a while. So Sony can bring it back again. It's slightly different from what I've heard.

How do Sony MDR-CD900ST compare to V6 and 7506? I see some are saying they are better quality than both.

In the past I was simply attaching my headphones to the analog audio output on the motherboard. Under heavy GPU load it was creating some annoying interference that was audible. After switching to DAC + amplifier setup connected over optical S/PDIF, all that was gone.
That's besides OL DAC and Objective2 amplifier producing very clear sound which is probably better than any DAC built into motherboard or found in USB based headphones that have DAC in them.

Interestingly, that video also references Yaxi stpad2-LR pads, that fit most Sony MDR headphones.

The conclusion he makes is that MDR-CD900ST is better. If the sound is indeed so good, I don't mind getting an amplifier for 6.35 mm jack. Objective 2 allows customizing it when buying.

It comes with a USB dongle and appears as a generic audio and mic device in Linux. On PS it has a swanky surround mode, just plain stereo on Linux.
It also has a 3.5mm jack input with mic so can be used wired without turning it on.
Now that the PS5 is around the corner Sony put out a new version called Pulse 3D that matches its aesthetic. It has the same basic features and will probably work the same with Linux.
