Good Logitech Headphones?

[ripper101]

I'm a fan of mainly Logitech's mice and I need a new headset so I figured I want to give a pair of Logitech headphones a try (Plus I like how they fit on my ears). What is a good model from Logitech that is wired, surround sound, and comfy? Also, I don't need a microphone.

Daddy please, if you need good sound don't go for Logitech Headsets, get some propper Headphones, how much are you looking to spend?

Would Sennheiser Titans be good for gaming?

I've never had a pair of uncomfortable Sennheisers and The HD 558's are apparently "Extremely comfortable" which is obviously great for long gaming sessions...

"good for gaming" is quite relative, if you want to be able to for example distinguish footsteps in cs:go more clearly, you can fix that in softweare if you so choose when you play, for anything else you really want to get some headphones that go really close to what the original composer/sound designer intended to be heard in the game, so you want a "flat" frequency response (if you want to understand better google frequency response of beats headphones (they have too much bass and non existant mids and shitty highs, and then google something like DT990 or HD650 frequency response and you'll see some flat shit that sound tight)

 

The main choiche you have to make is between closedback or open headphones, you can google to get the detail but (and I am oversimplifying) Closed headphones isolate you better from outside noise EG your fans but do not give you a realistic representation of where sound seems to come from (this is called the sound stage), on the other hand open designs let sound both in and out but they give you a much better sense of space.

 

Generally low end headphones tend to be closed.

 

Here is a list of headphones I tried in real life that sound really great (for other headphones not included check reviews):

Audio technica ATH-M50/ M40/ and M70 sound nice (the M70s are my current daily driver)

Sennheiser: HD 558/598, if you want really dank ones get the HD650s (they sound amazing but you will need an amp)

Beyerdynamic: DT880 and DT990 and pretty much industry standard.

 

I once tried Audeze LCD-3s at Superbooth in Berlin and I must admit that my underwear will never be the same from that day on...

The main reason I wanted to get a new headset is that I have the Razer Krakens (they were enough audio wise) and they are terrible for long gaming sessions with leather muffs and all. I got the Logitech 430 from BestBuy for $40 since I didn't see replies until after. This headset is comfy and the audio is decent (you see I've never really listened to high-end audio so I don't have anything to contrast with). BestBuy offers 15-day returns so until I will have to decide if the 40 dollar premium would be worth it ($80) over the Logitech pairs. Would the Sennheiser 558 (the only ones I am comfortable buying due to price) be worth the extra money if I really only game and listen to music occasionally?
