QC 35 for gaming

[H4X3R]

I just sold my QC25s and am looking to buy the QC35s. My only issue is that i have another pair of headphones, the AKG K612 Pro (they need a repair though), and i only want to have 1 pair of headphones for everything (travel, work, play). The AKG is just too open and too big for travel and work and i really enjoyed the qc25 when travelling and studying. I also played some cs and it wasnt too bad (ofc not as good as my akgs). My doubts about the qc35 arise with it being wireless and the latency involved. I play many fast paced shooters (csgo, tf2, etc.) and am unsure if this latency will affect my gaming experience. 

 

Sorry for being all over the place with my post.

 

PS I am aware of the mic not working w/ pc, i use a blue yeti so it's of no concern to me.

Never heard of them but are they bluetooth or do they have a dongle?

They're good for everything, but the small earcups, closed-back design, and active noise cancellation will give a tiny soundstage, making everything sound cramped. However, they are excellent for travel, and their active noise-cancellation are unparalleled.

 

Audio latency shouldn't be an issue, but if you're paranoid, you can plug them in with any 3.5mm cable.

Latency for wireless headphones isnt an issue. I know some pro FPS players who use wireless headphones.

A tiny soundstage does seem like it may pose a challenge when i play open games such as far cry 4 but i think i will buy the qc35 and test the soundstage vs my akg and will return them if the soundstage is just too small.

K612 are a much better option. Unless you have a stupid loud aircon, ANC while indoors is pretty damn useless.

K612's will have a lot better imaging and soundstage, and straight up more raw detail.

Why not just keep both your AKG and the QC35? Use one for home and one for travel. Repairing a headphone is typically incredibly easy if you have patience and remotely any skill with a soldering iron.

I can get it fixed for 10 Euros at the AKG Headquarters here in Vienna so that's not really a problem. I feel that i won't be using the QC35s a lot if i just use them on the go but i will try use both headphones and will then decide if i should sell the AKGs or not. Thanks
