Don't buy razer audio stuffs

Logitech is meh

Why do you want surround? You do realise it is a gimmick right?

 

I would recommend a pair of HyperX clouds, I am not sure of the price but they are worth saving up for, trust me, I have a pair, they are amazing.

You atleast could elaborate your post instead of fishing likes with a comment everyone could post but doesn't help anyone further here.

 

Ontopic: Surround in headphones/headsets are at the lower segment just software which emulates the surround experience, I wouldn't take the specification into consideration whenever you are buying one.

 

And also, the HyperX Clouds are decent but I don't know if you can buy these anywhere for 70$ ( you could save up for more but you could keep doing that untill you can spend 10 Grand on a headset ).

How about not being a dickhead and try to help me out. And everyone is wondering why this forum is going downhill.

Amazon still has the HyperX Cloud for $68. I would get those before they jack the price back up

 

EDIT: never mind. You found a better deal :)

 

EDIT2: I would still buy from amazon though. Much better return policy :)

Yeah I may do that, I've heard of some trouble returning to Newegg.

amazon will let you return anything. Just make sure it is amazon not a 3rd party.
