>>62461354
> you dont belong here.
Can you be more neckbeard then that?

>>62461388
Surround headset is a shitty meme. For 200$ you can buy BM-800 + phantom power + actually good headphones.

>>62461259
Some Audio Technicas and a desktop mic

>>62461259
all gaming headsets are shit. "surround" is a bullshit meme.

just buy some good headphones and a mic.

>>62461388
Just get good headphones with a mic.

Gaming headsets have worse audio quality and bullshit software simulated surround sound.

if you like software based surround sound audio you can do that with ANY headphones, there is no need to buy headphones specifically for the software package, that's retarded. Buy headphones for the quality of the fucking headphones.

This works pretty well

>>62464920
There is always the Modmic. Purpose built for that.

Cost is more though.

Never tried the astros but the hyper X cloud 2 (I think that's what their called) are amazing

>>62464975
>>62465042
I was looking for something just as dirt cheap. The only mics i can find online are the ones attached to earbuds.

>>62461259
nice file name

hyperx cloud, the first version
good build quality
good sound
good accessories
having only 1 cable for both mic and headphones is super comfy, I'd never go back to headphones + mic combo for gaming

alright so get this
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-SR-Open-Back/dp/B06WRMZZ45/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

and then this
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMCS3-Omnidirectional-Stereo-Microphone/dp/B0058MJX4O/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505597313&sr=1-5&keywords=modmic

or a modmic or something like that (or a snowball ice - what I have, is gr8, though a bm800 is also pretty comfy in terms of price).

oh and if you really want virtual sorround? Use the razer software. It's free ware, asside from some features like using it with macros.

>>62466760
or this headset

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-AD700X-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B009S332TQ/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505597489&sr=1-10&keywords=dt990

highly rated for gaming, though, personally, I don't like it.

>>62466760
I have a 598

would not recommend

Don't get open back. There's too much ambient noise unless you live in a concrete bunker.

Sound quality is indistinguishable from the $50 headphones I had before, too.

>>62466864
You don't. Or you are deaf as fuck.
598 are reddit tier shitphones, but that doesn't change much.

>>62466915
You're getting assblasted like I just insulted your girl or something
And yet you still agree with me that the 598's aren't good.

/hpg/ is literally just a marketing thread full of advertisers and audiophiles who don't care about spending $500 on headphones. Stop paying any attention to them.

I live in a noisy house with flatmates, I've genuinely had issues hearing people shouting me from in the kitchen or about a package with my 558s, and a flatmates 598s that I've "borrowed".

I, personally, can tell there's a large difference in sound, but the 558s which are essentially the same as the 598s bar a piece of foam being present in the housing.

Then again, I got my 558s for £60 on amazon so.

A better pair of earphones would be dt990, imho, for gaming, but the issue with the dt990 on amazon.com is that they're about $180, and are the 320 ohm version, meaning you would have to amp up, which would put it at ~$220 for a good amp, leaving -$20 for a mic.

Then again, this is all peoples opinions, who gives a shit.

Open back are better for gaming IMHO because wider sound stage (in general), and the 558s are the most generic universally memed recommendation, with the 598s being in OP's budget so why not.
