I love my AKG k702, nice soundstage and frequency response.
What's acheapheadset that's really good?

>>320749816
Astro's are comfy and sound good but are pricey as fuck
Ur better off getting a nice set of headphones and a desktop mic, if you have a best buy with a magnolia nearby that's your best bet
Currently I have a pair of crossfade wireless with XL pads and a nice desktop mic from best buy that was like 15 bucks
>not wearing these bad boys with a yeti for a mic
Fuck, working at Best Buy had some great perks.
>>320749816
I got some G35s for 70 bucks Canadian. They work fine but one of the earpieces broke off and had to be glued back on and the vinyl around the foam is all flaking off.
>>320749816
You mean headphones, right?
>>320751317
that mic is pretty shit

The HyperX is a rebranded Takstar Pro80, a closed headphone. TakstarHi2050 is open and I've heard good things about it.
I wouldn't buy a gaming headset.

These are really good, if you don't like that much extra bass then get the 700's.
Both are extremely comfy, wear them on head for 12hours straight and no discomfort

>>320752714
>>320752535
What are, some kind of youtuber?
>>320752893
Nah.
>>320752994
Then why buy a Blue Yeti just to play games? It's not like it will help you communicate any more effectively.
>>320752535

I just bought DT770 too, when the dust has settled what am I in for?

Quality
>>320753213
Because having high mic quality can be useful for more than just YouTube, you dumb fuck. When I'm on Skype/teamspeak, they can hear me better. When I'm doing some kind of at home phone call it's better. If i want to record myself playing guitar is easy better.

>>320753460
>they can hear me better
No they can hear you just fine with a 10 dollar mic. Sounds like you're just in love with your own voice.
I've used the Logitech G35 for years and it works perfectly.
Recommend me some cute headphones
Anything by sennheiser and you can't go wrong really, you can basically replace every part if it breaks(which it probably won't) my HD 518's have been going STRONG for around 5 years of daily use.
>>320753878
Buy an iphone.
Use the buds that come with it.

My Senn 570s sound really light on the bass and harsh with the treble.

looks like you got a bad egg, I hadn't even heard of them to be honest.
>>320753937

>>320754257
Maybe so. On the positive side they are by far the most comfortable phones I've ever worn.
>>320749816
and decent headphones + ModMic
Currently using HD 595's
Make sure there is a volume scrolling remote attached to the headphone cable.
I bought some banger headphones literally today, but realized it was missing that feature, which I had on my old creative fatality.

Anything other than Beats and Razer.

s-sure
those look pretty cheap doe (not that that's necessarily a bad thing)
headsets are gay as fuck and overpriced
get some nice cans and then a independent mic
i use hd 598's with a fiio e10k amp/dac
snowball for mic
DT 770, literal GOD TIER
>>320757629
Obviously. I think he meant headphones without mic. Those are seriously shitty.
I agree, some good sennheiser never goes wrong.
>>320752535
Does the amp make much of a difference?
I wear glasses. Recommend me a headset/headphones that won't cause me pain.
>>320753795
This shit is fabulous, but my mic broke and the usb makes it unusable for consoles and handeled.
>>320757748
is the mic good ?
>>320757781
Feel your pain man. In long sessions, it can hurt like a bitch.
Just get a pair that sits loose. Nothing more than that really.
I use an Audio Technica M50X with a mod mic. Its the best thing ever senpai
>>320757924
youre not going to be recording your mixtape on it, but it sounds fine for voicechat and calls and things like that
HE-400S is fantastic for its price if its in your budget, combine with mic that clips to wire/shirt or table mic.
Sennheiser HD series also solid
ATH-M50x is also strong for lower price points. Sony MDR-V6 or >>320754328 are also solid.
>>320757924
It's not going to touch a professional mic but it's on par if not better than most headsets i've used.
>>320757774
Depends on the headphone efficiency and impedance, those DT770s have multiple models for impedance iirc. If unsure, amping safe, don't need a really expensive one, FiiO is fine.
>>320749816

>>320758275
>>320758358
Nice ! I actually have a shit desktop logitech mic but it sounds like shit compared to the deceased one of my G35.
IEMs > Headphones
Also note if the headphones are open/closed back
If you're using them exclusively at home for gaming, go with open. The sound stage is a hell of a lot better. The downside is that everyone around you can hear what you're listening to.
Closed back sound like ass, but don't leak any noise.
>>320758615
Gross
>>320758190
Anyone have any other consensus on these? i asked for them for christmas. AT also makes gaming headsets. Im looking at the Audio Technica ATHADG1. Money isnt really a factor btw.

meme50x, if insisting on getting a clamp monster get m40, better fidelity, lower pricepoint.
>>320758615
Definitely good if you have roommates or take them out to listen on the go but you'll have to pay much more to get the same quality unless you're comparing to crappy full-sizes to begin with
>>320758689
meme50x's are closed back

>>320758836
what's a better set of open headphones than the 598s for $140?
>>320758827
They're good for music listening, not for gaming. Sound stage is shit like you would expect.
>>320758909
i looking to listen to music and gaming as well. currently have my eye on the Audio Technica ATHADG1
>>320758973
Nothing
Hd598 have better sound, resistance, comfyness, everything.
It beats literally every single other open headphones on the $100-140 range.
Very good purchase.
>>320758828
Maybe not as much compared to the X2's from what I hear as I haven't tried the X2's but it has bass and the rest is great.
>>320753794
Or maybe he's misinformed.
Like anyone paying over a hundred bucks for an USB microphone.
>>320757150
>>320757494
I've the hmd 660
Pretty great sound but its uncomfortable as fuck
I never ever use it for gaymingI do for fapping though
>>320758828
>wanting bass over mids and treble
buy beats, monkey
What if im looking for a gaming headset/mic.$100-$250. I have no idea what anything here is (sound stages, sound) all i know is bass becasue people talk about it to the ground
>>320759616
Get $100 Headphones
Get $15 Mic
>>320759616
Grab an ATH-M50x, it's in that price range.
For the mic, just make sure you don't blow more than 20 bucks on it, it's not worth paying more if you only plan to communicate.
>>320759928
>>320759793
So the best plan is to get a separate mic. whats the problem say with headsets with built in mics? does it inflate the price too much? or just a case of other headsets without mics being made better?
>>320760276
>does it inflate the price too much? or just a case of other headsets without mics being made better?
Both. If you want a mic always close to your mouth, get a lavalier mic.
What are some games beside Sonic that have an unlockable "SUPER" version of the character?
>>320760276
a headset mic and a cheap clip-on sound pretty much exactly the same
the problem is that a headset's actual listening quality typically sound much worse than any remotely decent headphones in the same price range
>>320760379
>>320760587
thasnks im no audiophile. Currently i just have some shitty bose headset.
>>320760276
>>320760379
To add, most headsets are USB which are a pain in the ass as they have to install themselves, can only be used with a pc, and are using their own tiny DAC.
Also avoid "true surround" headphones as it usually means a bunch of tiny drivers, stick to virtual surround if you absolutey must have surround.
Note that for headphones surround is wholly unnecessary unless your source audio isn't properly processing its output for stereo. You can test this for yourself by looking up a binaural recording on any decent-quality stereo headphone and note that positional cues are working fine.
>>320758615
Correct, they actually got uses in places where you can't use speakers.
>>320758851
IEM fucks fullsized on performance in any price bracket.
>>320760801
also whats the diff between open and closed back. say im looking on amazon how can i find it?
Planning on getting these since I hear that they're as good if not better than most $300 headphones. Used to be around $60 but now are like $100 but still worth the price.
>>320761225
Open leaks sound in and out, closed doesn't
>>320761383
Forgot pic
>>320751687
So? You're going to sacrifice sound quality for the sake of some faggot 13-year-olds being able to hear you slightly better?
>>320761225
Amazon description will usually say, and you can almost always tell just by looking at the picture if you see a grill/mesh on the cups.
Generally open will have better separation and soundstage (hard to explain exactly the effect until you first hear a phone with it compared to one without but I'd describe it as the apparent position of different instruments becoming more apparent) but is a hard sell if you life with other people nearby a lot or want to take it on the go.
>>320751687
it's no worse than the mics that come on gaming headsets
>>320761750
im the pleb. so going off the name, the soundstage is a abstarct type of thing that is a base for the entire sound of the headset. or its the entire sound of the headset. All the effects of the sound, bass, etc. coming together
>>320762305
From what I'm gathering it's like if the headphones are simulating an orchestra, being able to hear which direction each sound is coming from for a more "3D" sound. For gaming that could be useful for hearing sound effect direction and knowing where to look.
>>320762305
Yeah in a way, just realized I worded my explanation awkwardly to begin with.
I wouldn't say headphones with less of a soundstage are technically bad, they can still sound clear it's just a matter of say if all instruments sound like they're coming from more or less the same place if you close your eyes vs some sounding like they're further back than others. Not all genres will have this matter as much, in addition some masters may be poor and lack it to begin with.
>>320763434
AKA most older music.
>>320761750
>but is a hard sell if you life with other people nearby
It's only an issue if you share a bedroom, which you shouldn't if you're over the age of like nine.
>>320763825
College dorms, man
>>320763825
Or if you ever want to take your headphones on the go. If you're only buying something for your home, an actual sound system is a much more appealing option.
>>320760989
>IEM fucks fullsized on performance in any price bracket.
This is the exact opposite of anything I've ever read. Citation please, educate me.
