Headset for gaming need advices

Space Lynx · Nov 25, 2014

HD 681 EVO = $40 headphones off amazon and they have the most amazing sound stage you will ever come across, beating out the ath-ad700 as well, so if you play competitive FPS, skip virtual and grab some $45 681 EVO's, I power my EVO's through a creative soundlbaster recon3d pro fataility edition soundcard/amp combo

also the monoprice 8323 are only 20 bucks and sound A FREAKING MAZING with razer surround sound, im not sure hwy these two pair so well, but its just downright jaw dropping sound for 20 bucks out of pocket no sound card or amp needed.

Kingston HyperX Cloud are currently all the rage - Ive only heard great things about that headset and they dont break the bank either. was considering a pair myself but im waiting for some Philips Fidelio X1's to drop in price.

agreed. I bought a pair when they released. Been wanting the qpad qh90 for a long time but they were hard to find in the states and they were white. Then Kingston game out with them in red and black which matches my build and I was all about it after my razer headset too a dump. Just boost the low frequency volume in your sound drivers and they sound really good. I use then for everything, not just gaming, and I love the detachable boom MIC.

I have done side by side comparison of the HD 681 EVO and Kingston Hyperx... you will be blown away of how much better the EVO's are compared to the hyperx, the sound stage is literally jaw dropping for only $45... and no sound card or virtual 7.1 needed.

the quality and bass are amazing as well... seriously give them a shot. and a desk top mic i got a cheap desktop mic from walmart like 15 years ago i still use, and everyone says i sound just fine, lol

For that money it's not that bad

you're also comparing "professional" audio product to "gaming" centric product. I'd be worried about the duability of the hd681s

I have have had my 681 evo's for a long time, even slept with them, they are partly made of metal in all the right places, prob made better than most gaming headsets, so your argument is moot.

don't buy a clip on microphone.

Blue Snowball, Samson GoMic and Audio Technica ATR2500 only cost $50 and sound so much better than a headset.

any $250 headphone from Philips, Sennheiser or AKG will do.

I'm really enjoying the HD 518 set you gave me.

Antlion hasn't made a good Modmic since 2.0 and they raised the price.

I got the logitech g35, they are not the top but so far I am very happy with it, of course I could get a 400€ headphones but there are too many choices.

Next time I will get the Sennheiser HD 700, are expensive 499€ but they are the top of the top.

Can someone tell me how to Configurate the headsets to work with teamspeak and titanfall?

I can hear people talking but they don't hear me..

Note: I know that the headsets and mic are working because when I open teamspeak and go to a chat I can chat with them but in titanfall I don't get it.

Cheers

Really wish you would have tried the 681 EVO's, they blow the G35 away for half price... :/
