Laptop I bought

Corsair headphones are popular in the gaming scene. But HP HyperX is great too. Logitech is always good too.

Something like a Logitech G733 with its lightspeed connector would be ideal if you want wireless, otherwise any pair of Sennheiser wired monitor headphones will have absolutely impeccable quality. (No built-in mic on these though, so you'd have to use the laptop's built-in one for zooms and stuff.)

Sennheiser is good just they make duds and good ones. Always check the reviews. Some lower ends are duds.

I know the HD300 I think it is, is where they start getting better.
 
If you have an old laptop and you have to decide between ram or SSD, always do SSD first, it would make a bigger difference than additional ram, even if it just has 4gb of ram in it. Some old laptops only support 8GB (2x4GB) though. But SSD gives it a new lease on life.

If it came with Windows 7 embedded? You can download Windows 10's installation onto a formatted USB flash drive for easy installation from Microsoft. It will merely check the embedded license code on the firmware to activate it.

Logitech sells 7.1 surround headsets if I am not mistaken. Those are pretty nice.

Paul Bothner does more studio quality, so does Soundandvision and E-Phiphany

Astro is also a part of logitech.

I think the HD280 are ones to get at the moment for entry-level.

I've got a pair of HD202s here that were quite cheap at the time but I've had them the better part of 15 years and they're great. Cable is starting to wear out though from lots of transport.
 
+1 for Sennheiser. The HD 280 Pro is probably the best bang for your buck...

I've always preferred a dedicated sound system for music or movies, but the HD 280 Pro does a pretty good job doing both during load shedding.

I've used mine during load shedding for over two years now; it's lightweight, comfortable, closed-back design so no audio leakage, great noise-canceling (not active though), long cord, and has good sound quality without distortion, even at high volumes.

It's a no-frills no-fuss headset, it's plenty loud enough connected to my laptop's onboard audio, but an external DAC/headphone amplifier will push it to its full potential.
