Headsets decision

[Ras1997]

Hi guys.

i have to replace my TTesports Cronos because somehow I managed to broke the right side part(yes im using only the left side with the mic LOL),I really dont have much experience in audio but I dont want the best headset or the worst either, in term of the audio quality I mean im not going to feel the diference I just going to game with it.

I have a saberthooth mark 1 and im using the blackwidows plugs to conect my actual headset (idk if thats important).

 

I was thinking about buying the World of tanks Kraken pro beacuse im a league player in that game, but many ppl told me that that headset is not that good. So i need i couple of suggestions. THX

This.. look at Headphones, you get better quality for your money but need an additional mic (mod mic is good)

 

HyperX cloud are decent but all depends on your budget.

i just had to ditch my beloved roccat saves as there was a constant audio hiss in one cup i replaced them with a pair of Logitech G430's. While these seem very light, and not on par with quality (i think I'm just being picky as i love my faves so much but didnt want a second pair incase they broke as quickly) the sound quality on the logitechs is amazing! so much better than I'm used to!

 

they're single driver in each cup, but have 7.1 surround via software, and going from a fully surround sound set of head phones i can't tell its not surround sound!!

 

well worth considering, especially as they were only £50 on amazon!

you can achieve virtual surround sound with any headphone, even apple earpods for example, so that's not so impressive

you're missing my point.. I'm saying its just as good as headphone that are fully surround sound, where they have multiple speakers! like my kaves did, which were 3 times the price when new..

There's no full surround sound headphones, that are good and not mad expensive. Also 7.1 is gimmicky and sorta sucks.. in my opinion.

HyperX Cloud, don't get the Razer Kraken.

God please don't buy a Razer headset. Grosssssss. Don't buy 'gaming' headsets anyway. The HyperX is a solid choice but I'd personally buy a good pair of headphones and a modmic or one of those cheapos. I own a pair of ATH-M40X's and a webcam mic. The quality is so much better than a gaming headset.

If you must have a headset get the hyper x cloud v1( the v2 is a waste of money).

As for other options in the market both the g230 is terrible, built like paper and sounds like shit, the 430 is that but also overpiced.

Razer is pretty shirty as well.

agreed Logitech was like the worst garbage I've ever had the displeasure of listening too.

I remember walking in best buy passing by the gaming peripherals section and they had them to try and I remember picking them up and instantly afraid I dropped them cause they weighted noting I was so afraid of breaking them...

Sound was even worse, comfort was okay the cups are big and as said they are very lightweight but the cups are also weird and I found them a bit shallow.

Yeah I know that shallow feeling, I got a gt 920 once and I felt like the sound was distant and shallow, I thought they were defenctive and they couldn't be that bad...returned them the same day.
