I know gaming headsets are usually awful, so I don't know what to get.
I've had Razer headsets and they have terrible build quality. I've had ROG headsets and they have horrible, slowed down bloatware.
The issue is that these gaming headsets were really pleasing to my eye, and since I'm a closed back headphones RGB bass heavy gamer headset enjoyer, it's a bit hard to figure out where to go from here on finding a good headset.
I prefer wired connection as wired usually sounds better. I have never tried an open back headset, and I am sorta interested, but I also really like the feeling of being closed off from the world. However, I am also an audiophile and I'm all about getting the best sounds in the world.
I really like my headsets to be mostly, if not fully black. If I really need to and its not too complicated, I will repaint them.
I'm sorry for the generic "what game headset good??" question, but I genuinely am at a loss of where to go from here.
Sennheiser is worth a look, my HD 555 still work fine and I picked them up around 2004. I did replace the ear cups once, but as they where over 15 years old at the time I felt like it may be time.
I also have a set of HD 598, they sound a tad better than the HD 555 and I suspect will last as long. The old ones work fine but saw the HD 598's on sale at half price and felt like spending. Nice bonus on the HD 598's are the ability to replace the cable simply.
The first question I'd ask is if you're looking for a headphone or a headset (headphone + microphone).
You can find many nice open or closed back headphones without microphones, with a microphone in the cable or one with a detachable cable giving you the option for a cable microphone if desired.
Headsets often have a big bulky microphones protruding from the headphone, tend to be cheap plastic that breaks easy, and tend to sound like ass. They're an all in one solution, which means it doesn't really excel at anything but will function.
Most people would recommend the standard headphone paired with a separate microphone to get a superior audio quality I think.
Hello.
Im looking for gaming headset that actually f'ing works. Right now im using my Razer Kraken Ultimate, they have 5 years, the cable is wide open in many places, and i can hear more on the left than the right. They were "fine" for the past 5 years but it's time to replace them since they have not a lot of life left in them. I also do realise that Razer headphones are more about the brand than the sound itself.
I got myself Steelseries Arctis nova pro X today, and already have to return them, they arent very comfortable around the ears (thats the least annoying part) But the microphone is absolutely garbage, or maybe i got a faulty one? (a lot of people complained on it) Anyways nobody can hear me, i can play with settings all day long and it wont help, im also not really into having extra program or 2 on my PC just so others can barely hear me.
Call me old timed or stupid, but i prefer wired headsets, i was thinking about steelseries nova 7, but they only come in wireless. (and its again steelseries with their microphones)
What else could you guys recommend me? (If anything) Im mainly looking for good headset (mostly FPS games) with microphone that works, i do not expect the microphone to be top tier, i just want others to hear me speak.
Budget would be around 220 Euros, max 250 if the headset is absolutely worth its price.
Hello, I want to purchase headphones for both for gaming and music. This is my first time audiophilling hehe, and I would like to have some guidance from you guys. I have always used corsair's void pro RGB, which have done an alright job so far. I have been looking into getting Sennheiser HD 590 or a steelseries artic pro.
I play a lot of games that rely on sound queues, but I can sacrifice that for better quality sound.
I don't know if this helps but these are some of my most listened to bands: Muse, Disturbed, Rishloo, woodkid, Devin Townsend, chet baker, and a silver mt. Zion.
My budget is around $400-500, I chose a flair because of sub rules, but anything works for me.
I appreciate any suggestions :)
