what gaming headset

[PC_NOOB ;)]

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Elite PC Gaming Headset or hyperx cloud II?

HyperX. Anything with multiple drivers in each ear cup and advertised as "True surround" on a headphone is a gimmick and shouldn't be paid extra for.

The clould price is half of the tiamat 7.1 and imo it's way better. Razer headphone are really bad i have use alot of them before and it's just not worth the price.

*checks price and reviews* OMG U ARE RIGHT! nearly £100 less 0.0 I didn't even check

but cuz I have the money is it worth having one for my daily driver for gaming and one for my mobile systems?

and since I have a very good sound card what would perform better?

Thats really up to you. If you dont mind having a big pair of headphones for when you go mobile then the Clouds will work great for that. if you dont want something that big then use that money saved by getting the Clouds and get some in-ears.

If you can get the Cloud 1, if its cheaper. Set headphone just different cable layout and no usb dongle. No need to pay for something you wont use. And to answer your question about the sound card, Im sure what you have is better than the usb dongle that comes with the Cloud 2

Use software like Razer Surround if you want 7.1

[ClakeyD]

I have the Tiamat 7.1 and I regret buying them everyday. 7.1 sounds great on paper but the software is poor and if you listen to ANY kind of music turning 7.1 on completely ruins it.

 

Even with the software turned off the headset is subpar especially for that price. ATH-m50's, Sennheiser 598's, or akg k240 are all fantantastic paired with a mic (I use that 10 dollar zalman mic, works awesome)

 

If you want a gaming headset with it all built in, then easily the hyper x. There's a reason why its all over the sub forum.
