You seem to have quite a big budget or are very flexible with it. Why not go with like Sennheiser HD598 Special Editions and a Mod Mic?

The mic is not the biggest deal tbh, use in TS3 already my webcam mic, about the budget its arround 350 euros max. Like if something cheaper is better i am down, it dont only want expensive things rather something good. Reason i didnt looked into the "normal" headphones is because this little piece of audio already was hard to understand good. 

 

I will look at the headphones. 

 

The headphones look nice, but i heard or read somewhere what closed ones are better for gaming? (no clue if true)

Hello all, 

 

My old gaming headset (Corsair H1500) just broke. I am new looking for some new headset that also upgrade my old one.

I have been watching alot of youtube vids and rode alot of reviews about all kind of headset. Insteat of knowing better what I wanted, now I doubt even more. 

I play mainly CS:GO comp, but want to have a solid sound for future games too. 

 

What i had in mind: 

headset: Sennheiser game zero 

Aamp+CAD: Creative soundblaster G5

 

My onboard audio card on my motherboard is the: Realtek ALC1150 115dB SNS HD Audio 

 

What i also looked at are the: Sennheiser gsp300 or hyperX cloud 2. For USB headsets the sennheiser gsp350, Sennheiser 373D, logitech G933.

Even the astro set pasted my thoughts.

 

Can anyone help me out with my dilemma?

 

thanks.
