Posted June 6, 2015 if i would buy a "gaming" headset for the same price as a music or regular headphone and use them while playing games would there be a difference? or is it just a marketing scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 6, 2015 More or less marketing... Best way to find out is to try them out in-shop...

Posted June 6, 2015 So long as "normal" headphones have a microphone, there is no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 6, 2015 Mostly marketing, but gaming headsets do have integrated mic/controls and most have digital surround. Get yourself a nice pair of headPHONES (not SET) and a ModMic.

Posted June 6, 2015 It's all just bullshit, to be honest. Go with Seinheisers or Audio-Technicas if you can dude. Just avoid Beats at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 6, 2015 I avoid "gaming" headphones. Look for how you want the frequency response chart to look like. I prefer refrence headphones. The flatter the better. But you might like more bass and highs. http://www.headphone.com/pages/build-a-graph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
