Gatorade Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Was thinking about buying a few things: 1. Possibly a wireless headset - I can't remember the exact logitech one I had in mind but I was thinking about buying it if anyone had experience with wireless headsets. My budget is around 50-80 for it 2. Get a better Network Hub/Switch for my LAN cables and its kind of old I was starting to think a newer switch might have better performance on speed between the people feeding off of it Preferably like as cheap without shit quality - last one I bought was like 20$ and its still working 5 years later Edited June 7, 2016 by Sugarfoot Link to comment

Crossfade Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 wireless headsets die, wireless headsets have interference with wireless internet, wireless headsets cost more, wireless headsets are nice due to wireless but aids.. i had turtle beach Px5's *battery operated* changed AA batteries every 2 days, had to get perfect placement of wireless router, change frequencies and shit alot.. had astro A50's nice head set die too fast and same with interference, if u dont have a wireless router near by then its not bad...

OG Bobby Johnson Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 the quality of cheap wireless headphones will never compare to the same price of wired, if you want true surround sound quality in your wireless headphones you're gonna have to spend more than $80 smackaroos Link to comment

My budget is around 50-80 for it Only experience I have had with wireless headsets are that they die or get problems within weeks of getting them. Had the Corsair H2100 headset before lasted 4/5 weeks before having issues with the quality. Was still a great headset just got annoyed with the issues it ended up with. Link to comment

I used to have a Logitech G930 Gaming Headset, it felt like heaven using them... but after a couple of years I had to charge them every couple of hours. If you want a chill gaming headset try the "Logitech G430 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset" I still have one of them as "Backup headset", if my current one stops working. Also the price your paying for the G430 is not that bad. EDIT: G430 is wired btw. Edited June 7, 2016 by Duffy49 Link to comment

Blackedition Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I had them and loved them.I would cook dinner while listening to TS XD . after 4 months broke them and went with the a40 Tourneys. I miss the a50s and thinking of getting another set. Worth the money IMO PS. I was coming from razor kraken pros. Edited June 8, 2016 by Blackedition Gatorade likes this Link to comment
Gubber Flexx Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Any Kraken with 7.1 surround sound is really good for all FPS games it allows you to hear everything and be able to pin point shit! plus the tight fit does a good job blocking out other sounds that may distract you. Link to comment
Will Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I am increasingly thinking of going wireless or my pursuit for a decent headset that doesn't twist into a tangled mess will be endless. If I was you just save for the headset you actually want if it's shit send it back. These days everything can be returned which I like. Link to comment
Axe Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Wireless headsets are aids. I promise you A50's you're literally paying for a brand name with normal quality and cheap construction. Get Hyper X Cloud IIs or the new headset they are coming out with. Mic failed, but I picked up a $100 USB condenser that sounds 10X better anyway Steel/Aluminum construction. Light and comfy. I've tried to break these. I cant. Only lost a screw which was easily replaced. Only 100$ for the headset it self. Plus you can get a condenser mic for another 100, and you still end up paying less than astros, dont have to use the trash mix amp. And everything is better quality.

I know nothing of amps or condensors or mixers lol. Im assuming by condenser mic its the standalone mic that streamers use and the trash mix amp is something thats mixed in with a normal headset to provide mic and audio? Link to comment

Tight fit plus the 7.1 surround means I can literally pinpoint where people are shooting from in Arma/OW. Link to comment
Brutus Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I bought the a50s, then a month latter bought the a40s. The wireless connection kept dropping and I don't have patience for bullshit. Wish I would have went with another brand now. The audio out of the Astros just isn't worth the money in my opinion. Link to comment

Like others said, you deal with constant interference, the sound doesn't sound right, and they die constantly at the worst moment. That's my experience, anyway. I seriously recommend a pair of headphones that have a detachable cable; not only are these the best because you can un-wind the cable, the cable is easily replaceable without replacing the entire headset. Just my two cents! Link to comment
