Gaming headsets are a meme

I just use my Sennheiser 518s with the monitor mounted mic that came with my Sound Blaster Zx.

Fun fact, ralphie is homeless now and hasnt talked to andy in years.

>gaming headset
Take a good guess why this is shit per default.

headsets are a meme
so are gaymurrr keyboards

mice are not, their options, shape and weight actually affect how comfortable they are to use

>>388006109
Pretty much
However most non-gamer keyboards don't have NKRO, which makes them terrible for most games.

>>388004894
buy a cheap pair of headphones that fit comfortably over your ear
buy a cheap mic that you can put on your desk or in a mic stand
alternatively just buy lifechat headsets, they aren't very comfortable but they're cheap
audiophiles are retards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34S4Tt1EuQ

Came to post this. I use Audio Technica m50's and a $9 Zalman mic. Had the setup for 7 years, and I still hear and sound better than my friends

Not being able to register 3 keys at once is terrible for pretty much everything
Diagonal jumping, for instance, would be impossible.

buying a logitech G35 a few years back was a fucking mistake. I recently switched to headphones + amp + mic and everything sounds way better than it ever did before.

gaming headsets kinda suck so the trick is to find the one that sucks the least. i've been using cloud ii's for about a year now and they're pretty good, don't pay full price though.

I despise desk mics, for headsets - a lot of them are memetrash, I just go with logitech as I find they are generally top tier with their stuff, and try to get one of the least cancerous looking things.

Why? I seriously doubt you can find a desktop mic that isn't absolute garbage or costs more than a fucking headset. I bought a Corsair RGB for $70 and other than some weird driver issues that are fixed by disabling and reenabling the device it works fine. Obviously the headphone quality is mediocre but the mic quality and overall build of the thing is great.

>buy a cheap mic that you can put on your desk or in a mic stand
Cheap mics are a meme, at least the ones I tried. The quality is shit and if you bump it out of the way suddenly nobody can hear you. I'd rather have a mic built into my headphones.

So yo i gotta go its time for me to rock it. I keep bologna in my left pocket.

Buy a real pair of stereo headphones from a decent audio brand.
Don't buy 'surround' headphones, don't buy 'gamer' headphones.

>>388014590
But surround is useful. And don't tell me open back headphones will be better, it's not at all the same effect.

>>388014992
you can also experience surround with stereo headphones you know

>>388016854
What non-gaming "good headphones" has virtual surround

>>388005753
damn, fuck you ralphie

>>388016631
Nigga any headphones can do surround sound. For the price of a "gaming headset" with gimmick surround sound you can get a real pair of headphones that does surround sound just as well and sounds twice as good.

>>388017070
without multiple drivers you're not gonna get good surround accuracy

>>388016969
>he fell for the "virtual surround" meme
holy shit
to answer your question, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

>>388016969
everything can have virtual surround as far as i know
it's not like it's exclusive to headsets advertising about having it

>>388017502
>>388017223
It won't sound right unless it's made with multiple drivers for surround
again, you've clearly never even tried a 7.1 headset, and you think it's bad because you used some garbage software to do it on an incompatible headset

damn he looks the same he did a decade ago
like fine wine

>>388017657
The stupidity of this post hurts.

>>388017657
>i-it won't sound right!
>y-you probably haven't even tried 7.1 surround sound!
open stereo headphones have better and much more accurate surround than multispeaker headphones due to the speakers being cheap trash.
why do you think people laugh at all the surround gimmicks?
it's because it's straight out bad.
if you're heading into a price range of $1000+, then that technology starts to become good

>>388018094
I'm not talking about sound quality, just positional accuracy

>>388018176
yes?
and open headphones does that job better with software

sennheiser game ones are pretty good

>>388018176
Why do you think no audio company sells 'surround sound' headphones for movies, despite every home theatre amp having a headphone jack and most supporting some form of surround sound for headphones?

>>388018285
No, they really don't.
I can hear people's location in battlefield much better with my gamer headset than my """audiophile""" headphones. Of course it sounds muddy and bad, but the positioning is better and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>388018406
prime example of post-purchase rationalization

>>388018507
Nope, I actually bought used astro A50s and decided that I liked the surround but the quality was not how I wanted for music, so I asked headphone memers like yourself and I was told the Ad700x has a pretty wide sound stage and that would totally be better than surround, so I bought a pair. Turns out I went from being able to tell someone's exact location to not knowing whether they are right in front or behind me.

>>388018687
so you believe that having 6 bad speakers right next to your ears instead of 1 good one makes surround better?
do you enjoy having everything else muddy instead of the direction of the sound?
even closed stereo headphones give off better surround, 7.1 surround headphones is a gimmick
if you want actual surround, go buy speakers

>>388005753
who wants to talk to sitting andy these days tho?

>>388004894
>god tier
buy a decent pair of headphones (i.e. sennheiser)
get a standalone or clip-on microphone

>shit tier
literally any headset with a mic build in

>>388019126
No, I'm saying it's more accurate on a headset that is designed for it, and in some cases in my opinion, like counter-strike, that is more imporatant than quality of the sound. But for some reason you seem to be unable to grasp that people have different wants out of their equipment, and instead have to lie to them about whether they really want surround and insult them.

>>388019320
>waah someone is insulting me over 4chan
>why can't he respect my decisions to buy bad audio equipment
stereo headphones have is more accurate despite only having 1 speaker, that's not a lie.
7.1 surround headsets doesn't improve you're hearing accuracy and in some cases makes it alot worse

>>388019856
Well that has been the exact opposite of my experience, and I don't know how anyone could come to that conclusion.
Maybe since I'm such a retard you could tell me how to get surround on my open back headphones

>>388019980
ever tried a game with a lot of moving sound and alot of shit going on at the same time unlike source games?
try arma 3

>>388020172
Yes, the resolution is better and I hear more going on but the point is there's no way to tell where any of it is coming from

Imagine actually thinking you gain any sound quality from plugging in a pair of earbuds into your PS4 controller or a headset lmfao. Enjoy your 200 purchase while I get the same sound quality from 15 buck earbuds

If you want legit sound quality, don't be a faggot and get a surround sound system. Or even just a damn soundbar and subwoofer of decent quality. Headphones being worthwhile for games is a gimmick and the negligible quality difference from earbuds is just that - negligible.

I have no idea about the mic however

Never get a headset. It's just shit headphones and a shit mic.

Get a decent pair of studio quality headphones and a lapel mic. Seriously, decent lapel mics are generally fantastic quality, plus they're lightweight, inexpensive, and out of the way.
