Looking for a new headset

[VINCEindaHOUSE]

I made a post and got some good recommendation but then realised i wasnt that specific with what i was doing.

 

I currently have the logitech pro x wireless headset. I am looking to get a new headset and what i play is fps games mostly with very occasional videos/movies.

I am looking for a good headset preferably with a built in mic and is wireless but im alot more flexible on the wireless requirement and I also have a bigger head which I know is a problem for some headsets.

I was recommended the Audeze Maxwell headphones are these still a good recommendation?

The Razer Viper Blackshark V2 is a great headset for shooters since the great surround sound capabilities and still sounds amazing. Pretty sure they come in wireless, i have the wired one and I can vouch for how amazing it is.

The Sennheiser HD 560S are almost the best competitive fps headphones you can get.

And since those use a detachable cable, you can get a cable that has a microphone. Or you can use a desk microphone.

This if you don't need the pleb ingame stuff like hearing the direction, distance, elevation, sound separation, and so on.

Or if you're deaf. Want a disadvantage? Get Razer headphones, or Logitech, or Astro, or Steelseries.

No, they don't, but you can get something like this

https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-Compatible-Sennheiser-Replacement-Microphone/dp/B09C5TM8SP/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3E47KW3USAGLI&keywords=microphone+cable+hd+560s+559&qid=1688494695&sprefix=microphone+cable+hd+560s+559%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-4

 

 

or this

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Boom-Microphone-Playstation-Controller/dp/B07W1G95PH/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3E47KW3USAGLI&keywords=microphone%2Bcable%2Bhd%2B560s%2B559&qid=1688494749&sprefix=microphone%2Bcable%2Bhd%2B560s%2B559%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-10&th=1

 

 

or even this

https://www.amazon.com/NewFantasia-Compatible-Sennheiser-Headphone-Devices/dp/B07MWTZGBJ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3E47KW3USAGLI&keywords=microphone+cable+hd+560s+559&qid=1688494749&sprefix=microphone+cable+hd+560s+559%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-8

 

And that effectively makes the HD 560S a headset.

When the worst aspect of an audio device is the audio quality, one should know it's not good.

That doesn't mean anything lol.

Your friend could also tell you Blockbuster and Blackberry are great business investments.

 

Razer, Logitech, Steelseries, etc. are just companies who slap the name "gaming" on headphones and people are automatically willing to pay more without any knowledge of what they're buying.

There's nothing special about these products except marketing and magic tricks.

They sound amazing because you don't know what amazing sounds like. It's like how Americans think chocolate is amazing, but people from other countries who actually eat the real good stuff says American chocolate tastes like vomit.

 

Great stereo (2-channel) audio headphones from a respected audio company is vastly better than the garbage 7.1 virtual surround these gaming brands put out.

 

But.. you are also the Author of the "LTT store items so expensive??" so maybe you don't care about good quality products.

Audeze Maxwell are still a great suggestion if your enthusiastic about your headphone’s audio quality. They’re an absolute steal for the magnetic planet drivers which you won’t find in any other “Gaming” headphones. Watch some reviews on the Maxwell’s and you’ll be genuinely pleased with the results, with many people starting them as the best wireless headset on the market at the moment. As long you can deal with the almost 500g weight which is a little heavier than most Gaming headset’s, I think you’ll be happy.
