Gaming headphones/headset

[D4N0]

Hi, i am buying headphones/headset mainly for gaming. I cant decide between Hyperx cloud II, Hyperx clod stinger, Steelseries arctis 1 and Audio-technica ath-m30x. These are the best i have found in my local store.

Thanks for advice

Stay away from steelseries headphones, the stinger I haven't heard the best things about. Go for the Cloud 2's. Or if you can find the cooler master MH751 or 752 get those instead. Much better mic.

Sorry, I forgot to say I dont need mic and I mostly care about comfort and sound quality

If you have to choose out of those that you listed: cloud 2.

 

If you can, get the MH751's.

I can get them but they are 15€ more expensive than cloud 2, still worth it?

MH751 80€  Cloud 2 65€

Yes they're worth it if you really do want that sound quality and mic quality

 

If you purely want comfort and *fine* sound, cloud 2's are alright

Your best bet is staying away from all "gaming" brands then

Not true. The MH751's and the HyperX cloud 2's are re skinned from studio monitors. I highly doubt the sound quality will be worse than the ones they were re skinned from.

Don't listen to him. Sorry but he should know the facts before trying to shit on something he doesn't have a clue about. He probably refers to razers or logitechs products which are horrendous.
EDIT: sorry for getting a bit overreacting there. But at least you learnt something new I guess haha

This is what I would hope all gaming brands would do. Is to re skin good studio or audiophile headphones to a headset. Best thing you can do for gamers.

Why stay away from steelseries?

I don't like their sound and the mic is just trash.
