Do people really buy high end audio equipment for video game?

>>377804002
Schiit stack and Sennheiser HD650 are enough both for my gaming and music listening experiences.

>>377804002
POO

Same reason people buy mice with 16000 DPI and turbo mech 100 mecro key "gaming" keyboards.

>not using home theater systems for vidya
LOL

>>377804002
No? Are you actually a certified retard?

People buy high-end audio equipment for listening to music. Those same people also probably enjoy playing games so why not use their shit for music but also for games?

Want me to break it down even further so your retard brain can understand?

Audiophiles aren't exactly known to have the best judgment.

I use the same equipment to listen to everything else. If I spend the whole day with headphones on, might as well have decent ones.

>>377804335
This.

People usually buy high end audio equipment for music and then also use it for their vidya, or they get memed into buying gamer audio.

>buying $2000 headphones

For what mother fucking purpose?

>>377804002
i plug my iphone earbuds into my dualshock 4 and it's quite convenient and comfy. sound quality is great. shame the mic doesn't work that way any more though.

I'm from a world where big = good and cheap = better. As a result, I have huge home theater speakers on my desk that I got from Good Will for $20. They work fine.

>>377804559
Dunno. I just have Sony MDR-1A I use for everythingm

Music these days is mixed and mastered far worse than video games though.
Except for Classical.

>>377806436
fight me
i've had a schiit stack with sennheiser hd598's
/g/ cant fucking stand to admit the fact that apple earbuds actually produce extremely decent sound

>>377806436
The iPhone earbuds are pretty decent for the price though. They test extremely well and the built in mic is really convenient.

>>377806698

While you're not incorrect, the benefits of higher-end gear don't disappear overnight just because a song is brickwalled.

>>377806934
only problem is that apple had to be snowflakes about the ring arrangement on the jack, so you need an adapter if you want the mic to work in a ds4

>>377804002
why does he have two copies of dark souls 2?

>>377807140

I did, and was the best decision for playing my pro.

>>377806176
>$2000

Wait, seriously?
Headphones prices go this high?

>>377807353
Sennheiser to up to $50k

>>377807217
So why does he have 2 copies of the same game?

>>377807532
People are retarded anon, there's a lot of people who bought GTA 5 three times as well.

>Most video games have terrible sound design/mixing

Are you an actual retard? Today's Video games have better sound design than most movies.

>>377807532
Pretty sure SoTFS has different enemies etc in different places. It was to do with balancing and shit but DS2 is shit anyway so who cares.

HD800 and HD800S are garbage. High end only means high end in price.

>>377807532
I have DS2 for 360 and DS2: SoTFS for Xbone.

They "aren't the same game" in the same way that Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 "aren't the same game"

>>377807353
Some go even higher not counting the audio system you would need to fully drive the headphones to begin with, which usually costs just as much if not more

Home cinema for my TV and headphones + amp for my PC.

>Most video games have terrible sound design/mixing
You'd be surprised at how many games get sound down really good. It's never something they advertise, either.
But no, there's nobody that buys high end audio equipment just for video games. Everyone listens to music.
