This is the chair I currently use. The color is true to the image ('Power Ranger Pink', if you will, also has other color options). It was easy to put together although some reviews on the product state otherwise. The seat cushion is uncomfortable after a while, so I ended up buying a separate seat cushion since I work and game from that chair. But for kids who have no sense of what is comfortable (I used to watch TV upside down on the couch, what is neck pain?) It might be a good option!

Also, this isn't a chair, but I would have loved to have these headphones and ears as a kid.

u/lostfrog1357 · 7 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The Astro headsets for Switch have a splitter included, too. You could go with that.

Cosair makes some nice Surround sound PC gaming headsets. Very comfortable.

What ever you go with, I'd recommend a USB headset. That way, if you want, you can have the game audio come through your PC speakers and the voice chat come through the headset. That's my personal preference, anyways.

Nah they are separate. On amazon this is the headset and here are the ears.

can i use one of these to use with this headset with the adapter for chat and game sound?

u/lyrikz74 · 4 pointsr/PUBG

It was very cheap set of Sades. sades
You can see how the mic tucks up into the ear piece. I purchased their keyboard also. Its built on this thick piece of metal. I dont know how they are doing this stuff so cheap.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/DotA2

ATs don't come cheap typically. These are their gaming ones, it's not the exact model the TI casters were using, but they were almost assuredly using professional studio ones that were at least as much if not a couple hundred more per pair.

u/funkbitch · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

I've had these for a while now, and couldn't recommend them enough.

u/dragonx254 · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Get something like these:

Use bluetooth to connect to phone, use a wire to connect to Switch. Job done.

u/gero_martz · 3 pointsr/PewdiepieSubmissions

$100 and yes they have a 7.1. pewdiepie version standard version

u/CollectorAndrew · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset will do exactly that. Bluetooth for Smartphone/PC, wired for the Switch. Or when that Genki adapter releases you could do Bluetooth on the Switch and wired on your Smartphone/PC. There are still some flaws with Bluetooth, especially with Windows 10, but it's serviceable and, honestly, the most convenient solution at the moment, in my opinion; especially at the price and the amount of comfort. Here's a link if you want to check them out.

u/Forbesisablogside · 3 pointsr/PSVR

I ended up buying this one a couple days ago for my PS4:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N803EMU

It sounds amazing, but needs drivers for 7.1 so you can only get the 7.1 sound on the PC for now. Though during the dev talk here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZVVs5O8NC0

The guy said that the 3D audio "Works on everything" I'm not sure if he meant on every game or on every headset since you can't really hear the question.

I've already had a Corsair Vengeance gaming headset for about two years now on my PC and they sound incredible, and they're sturdy and they do a really good job of isolating sound, plus the wired ones can usually be found around $70 on one sale or another.

If anyone is interested in getting this one but they aren't sure if it'll work with the VR, just reply to me after PSVR launches so that I can get reminded and I'll reply with how it works for me, since I'm going to pre-order the PSVR.

u/Kuehmo · 2 pointsr/headphones

I'm thinking of investing into a new gaming headset and I would like to try out a wireless one. I've read through the guide on gaming headphones but its mainly dealing with wired sets. Atm, I'm considering between two options:

  1. Corsair Vengeance 2100

  2. Logitech g930

    Any recommendations on which one is better? I'm also open to any other options, if there are better ones I've missed.

    Budget - Around £100 (USD $75-200?)

    Source - PC/Laptop; Asus G56JR

    Requirements for Isolation - No preference

    Preferred Type of Headphone - Fullsized

    Location - UK

    EDIT: Changed my two options, found two better ones. Changed from Tritton Kunai Wireless & PDP Afterglow Prismatic to Logitech g930 and Corsair Vengeance 2100.
u/slamsomethc · 2 pointsr/ps3bf3

if on a budget i would would suggest the PX21 http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Force-PX21-Gaming-Headset-Pc/dp/B002BU0DPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319666886&sr=8-1 if you're ok with just stereo sound, and their upgrade, the DPX21 http://www.amazon.com/Force-Headset-Channel-Surround-Playstation-3/dp/B0042Y2F76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319667382&sr=8-1. they have cords, unlike the Sony surround ones. those are decent surround, but i prefer the DPX21's more as the lack of a wireless feature isn't a problem for me.

i hear people complain about turtle beach's build quality, and static noise.....ehhhh, mine have withstood moving around between TV locations in my house and between friends, and i don't see how a responsible adult could let them break. and for the static, it's only on the enhanced stereo selection and none in the surround set in my experience YMMV though.

if you're NOT on a budget go for the astro A40's, or some other model by them. a friend has these....i almost wish i could play there all the time. they're like $250-300 new though.

u/jmakegames · 2 pointsr/Twitch

Audio Technica make some legit headphones. They're gaming headsets are based on the much of the time on the same architecture as their normal phones; THESE have a pretty great mic (though lacks low end you'll find in a condenser or dynamic XLR), and I imagine the sound is awesome.

I use Audio Technicas but haven't had hands on with their gaming range - a friend has the ones above and says they're awesome, his mic sounds good though it's compressed through the apps like teamspeak and general gaming, so for streaming it will probably sound better.

I just use a Zalman clip on mic. Sounds fine for VOIP but I won't be using it when I start streaming.

u/UsernameMakingSuckz · 2 pointsr/titanfall

When I was searching for my first proper gaming headset (not just a default Microsoft mic lol), I settled on Refurbished XO Sevens. Price went from 160 to 100 dollars cuz the refurbish, but then a couple weeks later Black Friday showed up for $100. Should've gotten them haha!


But the price seemed to go have gone down a lot. Checking Amazon, it's $72 https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Titanfall-Official-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00HRKE1SI?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

u/Z3BBY · 2 pointsr/Gaming4Gamers

Would you recommend these? Because I've been looking for a new headset after using my current one, (Turtle Beach X12's) for about 5 or 6 years now. I was really wanting to get this Steel Series Headset. I'm almost purely a PC gamer, and only use my console for singleplayer games now. Any suggestions? I really would like one that has the same durability that this turtle beach X12 headset has that I use currently, while being a little bit more comfortable.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Multi-Platform-Headset-Xbox-360-63043006306200/dp/B008VQ68C4

Regardless, a $60 pair of Sennheiser headphones and a $15 mic from Amazon will net you much better sound for both ends than a headset can.

u/littlegreenghoulz · 2 pointsr/nin

I wasn't sure on the quality, my bf selected those when we started building our computer. I know he knows more about the specs on most stuff, so I left it to him. Those seem like decent ones as well. The main result that came up when I searched was a pewdiepie edition though, lol. Not sure what that was about. I wish I could use my speakers as much. Those were a disappointment from Logitech though. One started going out a few months ago, and a second is slowly joining it. We don't play anything loud enough to bust them though, idk.

u/nCubed21 · 2 pointsr/PUBATTLEGROUNDS

I would recommend this

u/DrewRWx · 2 pointsr/audio

In a stroke of luck, I was reading a Polygon review on The best gaming headsets and the SteelSeries 61485 Arctis Bluetooth headset looks like exactly what you want.

u/WWShehan · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

If I was gonna get a headset and it had to be closed back I'd either go with the hyper cloud alphas (had cloud 2s and liked the alphas better but they are similar. Or if you can get a sale I'd get Sennheiser GAME ZERO Special Edition Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711SG5V6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5Xd7BbFX4QT6A

They are great quality and the mic is actually really nice. Much better than the hyperx one. Also has the turn the mic up to mute feature etc. I think it's worth the extra

This In-Win case has pink highlights, then you could add pink lighting. Here's a review of it.

Then go all in with these:

Razer Pink Keyboard

Razor Pink Mouse

Razer Pink Headset

The Enermax case linked elsewhere was a nice case but it's at least 5-7 years old, there are reviews from 2012. That's why it has all those 5.25 in bays.

Painting the case can be done and done to look as good as a professional job. It is not easy or quick though. Here's a nice overview: Case Painting

u/mydearwatson616 · 2 pointsr/gamingsuggestions

I have this one and love it.

However it's not USB. I've heard great things about the U320 as well.

If you want great sound quality paired with a great microphone, Sennheiser is awesome. I sound like a shill but I just really love their products and I've had that headset for almost 5 years with no issues. They're definitely on the pricey side but a good gaming headset is worth the investment in my opinion.

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless Headset:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G176F76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gI8MDbG3V5GNB

I really do like these headphones! The best part for me is the comfort they have; since there is a “strap” for the top of the headset, it forms to your head and creates very little pressure on top (if you haven’t tried them on before it’s really a unique feel and I recommend you going to a store to try them on). The strap can also be switched out for different styles and colors!

As for performance they do what is needed. The sound quality is good but nothing incredible; same goes for the mic (for some people they may think it’s perfect, depends how picky you are). The headset makes up for that in its other features such as the retractable mic, wireless capability, long rechargeable battery life and slick look. If you’re looking for a “do all” affordable headset, this is the one to go with.

u/RaiLift · 2 pointsr/xboxone

HyperX Cloud Pro, Steelseries Arctis 3, Astro A10 are all solid in the $50-$70 price range.

u/waitingSimulator · 2 pointsr/Rainbow6

If you don't want to invest too much, you could go with the G230. (I have been using it for 2 years now)

Good price-performance.

Stereo for the win.

Depending on what you get quoted for, these might be another option.

u/_Valisk · 1 pointr/tf2

I know a lot of people seem to advise against headset mics, but if you want one anyway. My friend bought this a while back and the quality is pretty darn good for $25. While talking on Discord, his voice is clear with little distortion.

u/UnicornWarriorr · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I highly recommend the Audio Technica ATHAG1's I love them more than my m50x's and my 598SE's. Plus the come with a USB DAC/AMP and one of the best sounding integrated mic's I've ever used/seen. Linus has a review of them here If you guys want to know any thing else about them let me know. I picked mine up a year ago and couldn't be happier :)

u/moleworthiii · 1 pointr/Nexus5

These are the headphones.

They have a USB receiver, which can be plugged into the phone with a converter, but I don't know whether it registers it. I am running Android L, not rooted though.

u/felixenfeu · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have blue microphone. It's great.

OP could get a Sennheiser U 320 though since we are suggesting sennheiser headset anyway.

u/quengilar · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Also: I would recommend the Logitech G230, it's out of your price range, but it's a solid headset. The worst thing you can do is buy a cheap headset, they break easily and will cost you more in the long run.

u/BRINGMEDATASS · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Can someone recommend a nice pair of headphones? I prioritize comfort and sound quality over design or wireless capability.

I am looking at

Sennheiser GAME ZERO Special Edition Gaming Headset

Sennheiser HD 4.40 Around Ear Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones - Black

u/tBowBaggins · 1 pointr/podcasting

I started out with a Blue Yeti and had decent results. But as others have said, it will pick up a lot of room noise.

You could also consider using a gaming headset with a mic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLUZXAY/ [here] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLUZXAY/)

u/Celidion · 1 pointr/headphones

Budget: ~$40

Source: PC

Requirements for Isolation: Noise Cancellation

Preferred Type: Over Ear

Last few things are fairly irrelevant since I'm not picky at all.

So I've started playing video games again and I really need a new mic. I was planning on just buying a gaming headset since there's a good amount of them for around ~$30 but I know it's better to buy headphones + a separate mic. My main issue is, I'm not really that concerned with a great quality. Can I even realistically get a mic + headphones for ~$30-40 that will be significantly better than just a headset with a similar price? Obviously if my budget was higher I could understand that there's a huge difference because most headsets are all marketing, but at this level I'm unsure. I'm currently looking at these two headsets:

https://www.amazon.com/Surround-Computer-Microphone-Isolating-Breathing/dp/B01E8RS598/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1509824131&sr=1-5&keywords=gaming+headset&dpID=51v8NJCSUNL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I realize they're probably terrible by this sub's standards, but I've literally been using $10 earbuds for over a year for my computer, as I'm not an audiophile by any means.
I looked at the buying guide and there aren't many options for under $50, which is outside of my budget anyway, and that doesn't even cover the cost of the mic as well.

u/TheGreatGabeN · 1 pointr/gaming

Also, on Amazon UK, there are two versions of the G930 shown.
It says that this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U55WWS/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0GPWR51BV2Y0JJT3HTAH&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294
is the old version.

And that this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-G930-Wireless-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00CJ5FPS6/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
is the new version.
Is this just Amazon being stupid or is this true? There is a £10 difference in the price.

u/ImGatz · 1 pointr/AskBattlestations

I don't personally have a Playstation so I don't know but at least for the Xbox they sell these adapters so you can put in your AV audio into the Turtle Beaches and your HDMI into the monitor. If this doesn't work you can try investing in a high quality headset that uses optical sound like the Astro A40s or the DPX21s for slightly less.

u/ScoobySniper74 · 1 pointr/xboxone

I've been using this since it came out. Easy to unplug from your PC and into your controller and vice versa. I know some people have had bad experiences with TurtleBeach but I've been using their headsets for almost 10 years never had any major problems. Its wired, which I personally prefer, but I know some people like Wireless.

Looks like they've updated it since I bought it. The padding is different and it looks like the ear cups can swivel now!

EDIT: I've just realized I actually have the Game Ones - they're very similar, the Zeros are closed back (better bass, smaller soundstage, less sound leakage, and you'll hear less around you) whereas the Ones are open back (less bass, wider soundstage, sound leaks out due to open nature, and again due to open nature, you'll hear everything/everyone around you).

u/ThatBadGuy · 1 pointr/xboxone

I was looking at the Titanfall TB headsets here and they look like they cover all bases for a good price. Only problem is that I've read so much about how surround sound is the main feature of a good headset and these don't mention it at all.

u/Reverent · 1 pointr/GoodValue

Since we're talking good value, your best bet is a usb based set of headphones (assuming it's for a computer), for three reasons.

  1. No interference from the analogue jack (since there isn't one). I have dealt with dozens of computers that have a high pitched whine or buzz because something in the computer is passing interference to the jack.

  2. Higher wattage available for the bass means these headphones usually have a much better bass, which is something that is usually missing from 3.5mm headphones.

  3. Since the sound card (built into the USB) is specifically designed for the headphones you are purchasing, you can assure that the default settings are close or perfect to the headphones.

    You can't go wrong with the sennheiser u320. Sennheiser has a sterling reputation for headphones, and I am using these headphones right now. They're fantastic. They also come with the cables you need if you want to switch to an analogue input (2.5mm or 3.5mm jack).
u/surprised-duncan · 1 pointr/OverwatchUniversity

I use this pair from Sades. They're comfy as fuck, (over-ear) and the color scheme is dope. The mic is pretty good quality, and flips up back into the left ear cup when you're not using it. Any kind of bass has a possibility to literally shakes the headset. It's a USB out because my audio jacks are broken and I don't feel like replacing them.

u/PonderousWanker · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I recommend the Logitech G230 headset, its 7.1 surround and the mic is absolutely stellar compared to my Turtle Beach X12 headset. The mic on it was absolute dog shit, my mates kept hearing echoing in teamspeak. Could have been a faulty headset but i'm well pleased with the upgrade and it's in your price range. It matches my black and red setup like a dream.

u/andrewthemexican · 1 pointr/starcitizen

Corsair for headsets too. I got the first gen version of this for probably 50 or 60$, and 2-3 years later still look brand new. Only issue is the cable loves twisting on itself, but otherwise fantastic condition.

Doesn't hurt after long sessions, and the pleather cushion on top hasn't begun to peel. My old Plantronics set peeled away after a year or so.

u/fractalisimo · 1 pointr/gadgets

I haven't personally used it yet, though I'm probably going to get one when I build my computer in the next month or so. In terms of mic quality, though, there's a section of audio at 3:30 in the review video (linked here) which is recorded with the modmic (you also get to see Linus' amazing dance moves).

There's also a couple of sound bytes over on sound cloud here comparing the modmic with the mic on the Audio Technica ATH-AG1 headset, which weighs in over $250.

Also for comparison is the mic the rest of the review is recorded with, which we are told costs around $600.

u/residualbraindust · 1 pointr/NoAudiophile

Well, everything arrived. The UMIK-1 is a nice piece of hardware. To complete my desktop setup I also got:

  • The Pioneer BS-22s
  • One Behringer UCA202 DAC

    Now for the best part. I scratched some extra cash this month out of my budget and also ordered (they are yet to arrive):

  • Sennheiser HD650 headphones
  • Monoprice Desktop Headphones Amp / DAC

    I'm thinking that the next step would be to move to the O2+ODAC. I'd like to build them myself, so I'll probably order one O2 kit first and later either the ODAC PCB with the DAC already soldered, or the entire soldered ODAC PCB.

    Also for the future is upgrading my closed back headphones I use at work, probably to an NVX XPT100 (thanks /u/ZeosPantera for leading me to them). Then I'll move the Monoprice Amp/DAC to the office to drive them and keep the O2+ODAC at home. The current headphones I have at the office sound pretty decent but I can't wear them for more than an hour. So comfort is paramount for my office headphones.

    What do you think?

    Can you point me to good resources on how to use REW + the UMIK-1 to measure the speaker responses? I still have the BS-21s (they'll be shipping back to Amazon soon) so I'm planning to measure them too. I didn't remove the grilles from them because I think it will be hard to stick them back on and don't want to return them without them on. So far I've read these articles:

  • UMIK-1 setup with REW
  • Loudspeaker measurement with UMIK-1 and REW

    Will that be enough?

I'm using PX 21's with the earforce DSS Digital converter for 7.1 with my XBONE just fine, had to get that stupid adaptor though to chat. according to my digital box, when playing games and Blu rays, it is outputting 5.1 surround sound to the headset. http://www.amazon.com/Force-DPX21-Headset-Channel-Dolby-Surround/dp/B0042Y2F76

Hello people, so, my friend recommended me to upgrade to a headphone with standalone mic. I already ordered the mic but now I’m looking for some headphones to go with it. I will use them mainly for gaming but also listening to music and watching some shows. I kind of panic ordered the HyperX Cloud II because I bought the mic but hadn’t chosen the headphones yet so I quickly bought these (I will refund it if you guys recommend something else). After researching some more I got to the Sennheiser HD 598SR or Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X.



Budget - ~€120, I kept increasing my budget because found out my budget didn’t have good quality headphones.

Source - Right into my desktop.

Requirements for Isolation - Is not something I'm worried about.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - No, only on my desktop.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over-ear.

Past headphones - Currently I’m using a Logitech G230(Got it for half the price as on the amazon link though). The thing I like about the G230 is that is it over-ear so that is what I’m going for again.

Preferred Music - 80% of my library consists of stuff you find on Monstercat. The other 20% is stuff like this: [1] - [2] - [3] - [4] -

Location - Location is in The Netherlands, so I can still buy from amazon.de if it's not available here.



So right now, my questions are:

  1. Should I refund the Cloud II and get one of the two above?

  2. In case 1., which should I take or is there something else that is better for my needs around or lower than my budget?

  3. Or should I just forget about it and use my current headset and just disable the mic?



    Thank you!
u/Wayward54 · 1 pointr/dayz

Corsair H1500 sounds like what you're looking for, as far as value to money scale goes.

There are better headsets for more money, and there are better headsets without mics for the same, but the all-around balance for something under $70 that will do the job is most likely this one.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N803EMU/ref=twister_B00PN54N4G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

If you want to spend a bit more, check out the Logitech G35 headset. Once again, same disclaimer as above, but this is the most common ~$100 headset that's worth the cash.

i think more do but not sure. You will need an adaptor (25$) for these to work, there may be newer model that doesnt require this.

u/SeleneNyx · 1 pointr/FriendsOver40

A new headset, this Razer Kraken pro V2 to be specific. I've had my headset for a few years and I love it - HyperX in pink and white - but the sound is starting to need fiddling on the right side now, and they discontinued it so I can't even replace it =( It's sad because finding a GOOD headset that is pink (or any girly colors) is hard. This one is so perfect but I'm not gonna drop 80 bucks on a headset right now. But I don't ask for gifts, I never have and never will, so this is my secret. Hope everyone gets what they wish for! <3

I wouldn’t recommend the Sony golds, the sound is good, but build quality is crap.

Hyper x are good

Steelseries are good, but slightly more expensive if you can stretch.

fits your price range, has a battery that you don't need to switch and a really long cable to charge while playing.
the mic quality is great, the only downside I've seen in 5 years of use is that it's quite warm.

u/Rarity34 · 1 pointr/headphones

Hi there. I’m looking for some headphones that would be great for gaming and music. My budget is anything under £280, although I can stretch the budget. I’m located in the UK.

I currently use an Astro A40 headset, however after general wear and tear the cable has started coming loose at the ends which causes the audio to cut out at irregular intervals. I have these paired with an Asus Xonar DX soundcard for PC and I also have an Astro Mixamp for gaming on consoles.

I’d like some headphones with natural sound and good balance as I’m not too keen on the current trend of Bass heavy products. Over-Ear design is an absolute must for me and I’m not too worried on how it looks, so long as it’s comfortable and not too bulky. I have no preference on isolation.

I’ve been through various crappy Turtle Beach sets, Tritton 5.1 Pro and now my current headset which does the job well but I kind of want to take a step up into audiophile grade hardware. I’ve been looking mainly at Sennheiser and Audio-Technika and some products that look interesting are the HD 650, the HD 598 and the ATH-AG1.

If it’s of any help my preferred music is Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, Synthpop and I also have a big soft spot for Symphonic Metal. As for gaming, I’m really not too worried about surround sound capabilities because I can use the mixamp to simulate 5.1/7.1 surround sound on consoles, and on the PC, I enable Dolby Headphone.

Any suggestions will be very helpful and I thank you for your help in advance.

They don't make the PC 363D anymore, they have the newer PC 373D which I'd definitely check out if I were you. You can get them for $96 euro on Amazon or on sale for $135 euro (normally $249.99) from Sennheiser. You should also check out the noise-canceling GSP 600 which is on sale on Amazon for $178 (normally $249.99) and the open-back GSP 500 which is currently $135 euros from Sennheiser or $144 on sale on Amazon (normally $225.) Any of those are good deals. You can see all their gaming headsets here.

I want to say something here that I probably should have mentioned in the OP - I'm moving up to these cans straight from a set of Corsair H1500 gaming headphones. Those things, had a lot of bass. And a serious lack of mids and highs. Everything that I listen to now is almost painfully high because of this... and I know that it's simply because I'm not used to hearing defined highs. It's going to take a bit of time for me to get used to it :P I actually am currently settling down on a more neutral EQ now after reading some other comments elsewhere. It's a lot more crisp.

u/Pr0xyWash0r · 1 pointr/gaming

I use the Turtle Beach DPX21...it says for the playstation, but the X in the name means it works with the xbox...even comes with a cord to connect it to the controller. with the DSS extender it gives 5.1 & 7.1 surround sound but requires you connect with optical audio. The only problem ive had with these headphones, they slipped from my hands while taking them off from the standing position, 6' fall popped the right earpiece off but nothing super glue couldn't fix. had them now going on about a year and a half.

u/timerski · 1 pointr/razer

Get Sennheiser U320 - it's connected via USB so your console recognizes it as well as your PC with plug-and-play. The quality of the sound is awesome and the microphone is pretty good too.

I used it with my PS3 a lot and was very happy with it. Now it's my night-time go-to gaming headset.

^ This. Best way to go is headphone and mic separate combo. Even high-end gaming headsets have mediocre microphone quality.

u/Fraky · 1 pointr/headphones
  • Budget - ~150€ give or take, but this would be decent headphones and mic combined

  • Source - onboard Sound Card in my PC (Realtek HD Audio)

  • Requirements for Isolation - I will use them only at home, but I would like more isolation from outside noise because it can be quite noisy.

  • Use in public - No

  • Preferred Type - full-sized closed back over-ear

  • Preferred tonal balance - Here I'm not quite sure what I need. I will mostly use the headphones for competitive gaming and voice chat in conjunction, so I won't need incredible amount of bass. I would need some more help here :D

  • Past headphones - My past headphones all were all so-called "gaming headsets", from fatality headsets, over razer to logitech. My current headset I would like to replace is a Logitech G230. They are very comfortable and I would like a similar comfort because I will use the headphones daily and for very long sessions.

  • Preferred Music - Mostly Metal, preferably alternative (Disturbed and such), but music is not the main purpose.

  • Improvements - I would like to enhance my gaming experience and focus on that aspect, so detailed and clear sounds. I would also try out a surround setup to better hear positional cues and a headphone+seperate mic setup to improve the quality of both parts significantly.

  • Location - Germany

    I already read through Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide and used the /r/headphones recommendation guide so I got some candidates, but I'm not restricted to them.


  • Creative Aurvana Live!: Very strongly recommendated bei Mad Lust Envy and /r/headphones but I have some concerns about the comfort because I have rather big ears.

  • Ultrasone HFI 15 g: Mad Lust Envy mentioned that they are not the first choice for competitive gaming purposes but at that price range it is hard to pass up.

  • AKG K612 PRO: the most expensive in my list but highly praised everywhere and arguably the best quality in this price range. But I would have to settle with open back and a lower quality mic.


    Thank you for your help and as I said the list above is not set and I would appreciate every recommendation of other headphones.

Not sure how much it is in Euros, but check out these Astro’s A10. I used to have A40’s but got rid of them after I stopped playing COD years and years ago before I bought my PS4. IMO these Astro’s are great value.

HyperX Cloud 2 are a touch more expensive but I’ve heard it’s one of the best entry level headsets. Worth saving a couple extra Euros to get a great headset

Amazon UK link for A10. Every color works with all 3 systems. Although if you have an Xbox you’ll need an adapter that does not come with the Ps4 or Pc version.

If you don't mind a cord and want a very affordable headset that sounds great, these are legit. Not even kidding. I didn't believe it when a friend told me about them, but for the money I figured I'd try. He was right, as was the friend that told him about them.

This is almost the same as what I have but maybe a slightly upgraded version. For strictly gaming it will be more then the average player will need. In pubg I can clearly tell where a sound is coming from and they sound decent on music.

Would some of the headsets you sent have better audio quality? I'm not sure what really makes some of these headsets for gaming. I'm under the notion that headphones made for good audio quality would sound better than those made just for "gaming". But if I can achieve some of the same audio quality that I liked out of the m50x's for there gaming headset line is be inclined to try them out.

Just pick up one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Force-Channel-Dolby-Surround-Processor-Mac/dp/B003O0KICS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407870430&sr=8-2&keywords=dolby+headphone+amp

And a set of these - http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Gaming-Headset-Amplified-Xbox-360/dp/B00E5UHSX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407870461&sr=8-1&keywords=earforce

I moved to just using headphones last fall and this setup is freaking AMAZING. I use it for movies and gaming. Beats the pants off of any speaker set up you could have, and doesn't bother anyone.

The Ear Force DSS 7.1 processor uses Dolby Headphone technology to map 5.1 discrete channels to headphones and it's ridiculously effective. You won't believe it.

And it doesn't feel like you have the sound right on top of you. You'll take your headphones off to make sure your speakers aren't blaring.

Just be sure you get the OLD version of the processor, the new one isn't nearly as good and dropped the Dolby Headphone tech in lieu of whatever else they replaced it with. The good news is, you can pick them up used for CHEAP.
