Do not buy a fucking headset! Buy headphones and a separate microphone. The quality will be so much better. I use a Audio Technica ATH-M40x (I want a ATH-M50x) + ATR2500.

thero Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) - Corsair VOID - Razer Krakens Both great headsets, sound is good on both. Mic quality on the VOIDs is bad imo but the kraken's mic is amazing. ( Both have 7.1 surround sound ) Edited December 1, 2016 by thero Link to comment

It is not true 7.1 surround sound. Sort of false advertisement. Link to comment

I bought it for 80 bucks on sale, most likely aren't at this very moment. Pretty neat price for a that piece. But yeah, if you want a something that got surround sound and good quality mic, you should aim a bit above 100$. Otherwise, you've got a lot to choose from. Link to comment

There's nothing wrong with a headset. I know about this pcmasterrace headset circlejerk you speak of, but there are quality and affordable headsets that do the job just fine. Link to comment

And how does music feel? Never used anything better, so I just assume it was pretty good. I've seen people outperform with apple earbuds. If it has surround capability, the rest is up to you. A headset won't make you better at the game, as long as it's sound quality is better than driving speaker wire into a toaster. As far as music goes, Like I said, never used anything else, so I have nothing to compare it to. I have heard music through some "high tier" headphones, and it honestly just sounds all the same to me. Link to comment

In games that have actual good audio technology yes. Running tests, yes. Arma, doesn't really matter. Directional audio on every bohemia engine is awful. Link to comment
M.Silva Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) I would honestly buy a Logitech headset if you want to spend more money, though just having earphones and a "decent" microphone could possibly be better and save you more money.

Noble Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Go with hyper cloud II's or hyperx revolvers if on sale, sound quality and isolation matches that of lower priced sennheiser's and the mic quality is decent. By far the most comfortable headset I've worn. Link to comment

I believe neither the clouds nor the g430's have their own software, but there is plenty of free 3rd party software out there that will allow you to customize your audio profile. Software is not quite as important with gaming as is the type of headset and dac amp you use Link to comment
