HEADPHONES THREAD
first time poster here. I have recently bought a LOT of headphones mostly for 3D sound location and i have found pic related the be the very best. I tested the
hyper x cloud, cloud 2(very comfortable headphones, disappointing in sound imo) revolver( best in comfort and sound)
corsair void(great sound, very cheap feeling and uncomfortable headset)
Audio Techinica m50x (very great headset, but the 3D sound of it in game left me wanting more), ATH-AD700x(i hate the open air headphones)
and the
Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm edition.
All of this was powered by an Asus Xonor Dgx which is also a recent buy for me and has made a massive difference in my in game sound and enjoyment.
So what do you guys use when gaming? When listening to music?

I have Xonar Essence STX (1st gen) as source, usually using dolby headphones post processing, unless I'm listening to music, then I go WASAPI in F2K.
I used to have Audio-GD 11.1 but the XTX give better results.
I use AKG Q702.
I also have Denon D2000 (one driver broken, need replacement) and ATH-AD700 (closed). Sony MDR-1A on the go.
Those gayming headsets are crap if you ask me, just get a separate mic.

i do use a separate mic. The revolver is amazing in every regard imo. This is my first time with a sound card ever, and im nearly 30. Getting this headset/card has made the difference between hearing guys the floor above me and not being able to tell if the guy is in front of me, below, or above me. insane difference in my game play experience.
