Gaming headsets are a meme

is

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

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

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 youtube.com/watch?v=L34S4Tt1EuQ

GOD TIER
>Quality headphones that suit you + a desk mic/modmic/inline mic
AUTISM TIER
>Gayman headphones

>most games

you mean shitty mobas

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 headsets

no one is talking about audiophiles

this.

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.

>mobas requiring buttons
Gotta click fast enough though or your character will move slowly!

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.

Do you think he's ever had sex in his life

I GOT PEAS ON MY HEAD

>All these people shitting on gaming headsets
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.

just trying to make sure OP doesn't spend unnecessary money or listen to idiots

Is that a male (female)?

logitech headsets are trash though
get a mic stand/headphone mounted microphones
it'll be alot better than using headset trash

I GOT PEAS ON MY HEAD, BUT DONT CALL ME A PEAHEAD
I GOT BEES ON MY HEAD, BUT DONT CALL ME A BEEHEAD
BRUCE LEE'S ON MY HEAD, BUT DONT CALL ME A LEEHEAD
NOW EXCUSE ME, I GOTS TO GET MY TREE FED

>I seriously doubt you can find a desktop mic that isn't absolute garbage
just buy a cheap headphone mounted microphone, guaranteed better mic quality than SHITTY RETARDED GAMING HEADSETS

He gets mad bitches. He's rich and lives in Hollywood.

Yes but he looks like a 14 year old boy

why didnt chief keef murder him?

Still gets it

Who is this fat lesbian? Oh, it's Andy.

Reminder that Milonakis is a twitch streamer now, and this is a shill thread.

>Good ~100$ normal headphones (Hd 530s or something of the like)
>Use the inline mic
>Now people who see your headphones don't think you're autistic and you can use them for other purposes as well

LOOK AT ME IM SMARTY OWL IM SMARTER THAN YOU

Who the fuck gave this fat bitch a tv show anyways

>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.

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

you can also experience surround with stereo headphones you know

yeah here you go

Whoever made this has never played an FPS with proper surround, it s godly

stereo headphones do surround better than multispeaker headsets
so you're the retard here

I wonder if he would look good if he wasn't so fat

What non-gaming "good headphones" has virtual surround

damn, fuck you ralphie

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.

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

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

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

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

The stupidity of this post hurts.

>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

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

yes?
and open headphones does that job better with software

sennheiser game ones are pretty good

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?

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.

prime example of post-purchase rationalization

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.

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

who wants to talk to sitting andy these days tho?

>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

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.

>waah someone is insulting me over Sup Forums
>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

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

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

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

i can't fix your ears buddy

>Go to look up headphones on newegg
>See this
How are they still able to sell a product with this kind of warning?

>Your opinion is wrong
>but I'm not going to explain why

if you can't properly pinpoint where the sound is coming from with something like the good old virtual barbershop using stereos, i really don't know what to tell you

Almost every single pair of headphones i've looked at has this warning. What the fuck?

Everything fucking thing ever has been "found" to cause cancer or bitch defects or other reproductive harm by the State of California
Ignore that

Someone who thought a 40 year old child with hormone deficiencys could appeal to teenagers

This is what happens when you go into a conversation assuming the other person is just a retard
I asked you how to use virtual surround on any stereo headphones, and you just tell me to play arma and fix my ears instead of answering me

I just want comfy headphones.
G430 feel nice on my ears and the audio quality isn't utterly abysmal.

I mean it's fuckin california
they would say CO2 can cause cancer if they could get away with it, and then they'd tax you for making it

Is this why they are on sale? Don't mind a little cancer, just curious.

sennheiser headsets

same headphones as their standalone headphones with a great mic attached

You are my real nigga

>gaming headset

>headphones

Pancake on my face makes me extra happy

Dumb poor anime poster

doesnt matter what you get unless you have a soundcard/amp
most people are retarded and get expensive headphones/headset and plug them right into their shit mobo integrated sound

Fuck you just took me waaaaay back dude

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 acrtis 5's and they are very comfortable. I could wear them for forever and my ears will still feel good. The mic on it kinda sucks though.
