Getting something else than Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME

[Bugses]

Hi there,

I'm looking to get something different than my Sennheiser PC 360. The reason behind it, is that my ears touch the drivers, which is really really annoying when you have a long gaming session. I dont need it to be a headset, it can also be headphones. I just want something with good sound in it and something that is very comfortable. I mainly use my current one for gaming and Skype. My budget is between $200-300.

 

Could you help me out please?

Well massdrop has a drop of the akg k7xx in a day, put a modmic on it and you got yourself my perfect audio setup

Seems great, but I fear that my ears might touch the drivers on that one too. I think I need something more puffy than that. I might be better off with a Beyerdynamic.

Why? I doubt you will. But you can take a look at the beyer COP, dt 770 and 990 pro

It's just that the padding seems quite similar to my current headset.

I don't think a 200$ will let your ears touch the drivers, I bet akg chose that padding with a reason

I found a post asking how is the depth or the cups from the 7xx compared to the ath m50x. The answer was that the user didn't have trouble with it and that the m50x's cups are shallower.

Another great headphone is the sennheiser 558 or Kingston hyper x clouds

DT 990 Pro is a good option or the Phillips Fidelity x2's,

Why not kill your gaming headset and build youre own one ?

and when i say build i mean : headphone + external mic = headset .

 

Ant lion mod mics are good and you can pick up an open headphone or closed if that is what you prefure ( Note : dont get a open headphone if youre area is noisy ) .

 

If you want i can link a video on a guide about it ....?

If they have Q701 or Q712 it's the same chassis between them.

Sennheiser PC360's are literally HD518's with a mic on them so the 558's won't be much better.

 

 

OP: I heard most Beyerdynamics have really deep earcups so give those a go. I personally have never had an issue with the earcups being shallow on the PC360, but I did once try the Custom One Pro's and they did have quite deep earcups. Personally I'd get the 770's cus they're closed and I like closed headphones.
