Logitech G35 or HyperX Cloud 2?
You aren't going to feel the beat in your toes with only headphones. On account of them being HEADphones.
Yeah, I relized this after I used my headphones, then went to a live concert.
Then I sold my k7xx and invested in speakers
everyone interprets sound differently. with my current headset, when a rather bass heavy song is beating against my drums, i tend to feel the vibration through my body, and i sometimes feel as if the ground under me is shaking. so whilst i will not disagree with you about your experiences, i am going to have to say my own prove otherwise. sound is the vibration of life, and that vibration hits me in a unique way to me. im sure im not the only one, but im not going to say that it happens to everyone.
What about a true 7.1 surround headset like the Razer Tiamat? Since it has multiple drivers in each cup, would the quality of the 7.1 surround sound be good? Or, should I get a quality stereo headset and add a surround software with it like Razer Surround? Which option would produce better sound quality? I am only going to be gaming with the headset I am choosing.
as for you, "true" 7.1 isn't going to happen in a headset. think about a home theatre. you have 7 speakers all around you, front, front left, front right, left, right, back left, back right, and the 1 being a subwoofer. in a headset, you have 3 or 4 speakers to your left, and 3 or 4 to your right. there is no surroound, it's all left or right. smaller speakers, also, give you less sound quality overall. so having 3 speakers that are 30 20 and 10mm in each ear will be worse quality than a single 50 or 53mm driver in each ear.
I decided to go with the Sennheiser HD 558 stereo headphones. Is this a good choice for quality sound? Thank you guys for all the inputs!
whilst a very good headset, you have to understand that the Sennheiser 558 HD is stereo only, so you would have to use Razer's free software to include 7.1 virtual surround sound. also, they are open back, so if you have people around you, make sure not to blast the music too loud. One last thing, there is, somewhat, a crazy driver issue with the 558 compared to it's higher priced 598, or lower priced version somewhere. and many people arguing what is better or not. Trust me when i say, the research to be done for "the best headset for the best price for me" is an uphill battle for those of us who are careful and don't want to spend willy nilly.
However, if you are ok with it, i would suggest the 558's if you want bass, and if you dont, well you can either buy the 598's or do the "foam mod" to essentially make them the exact same as the 598's.. though this is just speculation. i myself will be buying the 558 and a hyperxcloud 2 myself. both for closed environments and open ones.
