witch headset?

[The_Boat_Guy]

so i am looking to buy a new gaming headset, but dont know what to buy. i dont have a sound card, but is that important if i want good sound quality? i currently have a budget on 400$ for both the headset and sound card if necessary.

 

and if the headset dont have a mic, then please recommend a good mic that i can buy

get something like the mad dogs and a fiio e10k and turn bass boost on when you play games for that bass powa.

the mad dogs are from mr speakers if youre having trouble finding them

well i dont mean to use it all on a headset, but combined with soundcard, headset and mic

 

it might be alot of money to you, but in norway the prices are a bit higher.

that's really not that much for a decent headphone..

I would look at He400i or HD600. and a mic like a snowball.

i have been looking into the hd 598, but really dont like the looks of it, but are the hd600 better? and would i need a sound card with any of them ?

Did you spend more than $10 on your mouse? More than $20 on your keyboard? Same thing can be said in your case. If you don't have a quality post to make, do not post, you are not helping OP.

The 598 comes in both tan/beige as well as an all black model. As for the HD600, of course they are better, but you will want an amp when moving into that territory. For a good quality cheap amp I recommend the Schiit Magni 2 that sells for $99.

You either get the HD 558 or the HD 600 in my opinion, so yes.

If you need a mic, go with the blue snowball if you don't do any professional mic stuff. I have the astro A40's and they are very good. They are around $200-300 but I got them on a sale.

The Blue Snowball is a fine choice, but not so much the A40. For a $300 budget you can grab the Senn G4ME One for $170 and have the rest left over to spend on hookers and blow while still having a far superior headphone and mic in headset form over the A40.

 

I think the Mad Dogs that @ThatOneRussian mentioned are a good choice as well. But right now we are a little over the place between 598($147) and 600($330).

 

Maybe this will help, we know that you want to use for gaming (I'd personally not go with the HD6x0 series for gaming in comparison to the HD5x8 series), but what genres of music do you primarily listen to?

i listen to all kinds of music really. from indie rock, rock, metal, house, pop, rap, and basically anything that strikes my mood, at the moment, but just bought the hd 598, and a modmic, so thank for the help ^^
