Headphones for under €100 and maybe others

[Alesek]

Hi,

I am looking for new headphones for about €100 for gaming. Which one would you recommend as I am not looking for great sound quality as much as surround sound? I need to hear every footstep in csgo but I will probably never listen to music with them  also is it necessary to buy DAC/AMP/sound cards? My integrated one is VIA VT2021. I read so many posts about this topic but I might be an idiot because it's getting me more confused.

 

I also have Asus xonar DX but it causes mic buzzing when it's in the pc even if I connect the mic to the integrated card so unless you have a suggestion on how else I should connect the mic, I can't use it.

Go for the Kingston HyperX Cloud.

That's a headset and I think I can get better quality headphones for that price

hd 518, they are open so they will leak sound, but they are also better than closed headphones for fps games because the soundstage is bigger.

I think I am gonna go for these. I have couple questions though... Is the "openness" a problem while using a mechanical keyboard, does it actually block any outside noise at all? also do I need to get a DAC/AMP/sound card to get better surround sound from them or is my integrated VIA VT2021 going to be enough?

it dampens the sound a little not very much, I use a mech keyboard with mx blue and HE 560(headphones) they dampen the sound by 0.0001% and I don't have a problem, this is a very personal thing so I can't say if you would hate it or not. You don't need a dac and amp, I have made a post you could give a look in my signature.

Do not get one of those 7.1 Surround sound audio headphones. They are not worth the money. Actually don't get any of those gaming headphones. I recommend getting a separate microphone for the video chat. I recommend getting a high quality headphones from Sennheisier, Shure, Audio Technica, or other audio brands. Still thought I use a earbud for gaming like the Shure SE215 because they give you pretty good isolation. Also headphones hurt after few hours of gaming but I don't know how intensive you play. If I were you I would listen to the guy at the top and get those headphones. Peace
