I am slowly preparing to Amazon black friday where I will buy lot of stuff including some headphonesB|. I don`t know anything about gaming headphones, it a new area for me. Could you make a list of top 3 quality and top 3 best buy? I don`t know how much I will spend on them, probably depends on how much money will be left for them because they are not my top priority. Here is the list (I found these headphones in my local stores so I presume there are also available on Amazon):

 

Corsair VOID Gaming USB

Corsair VOID Gaming Stereo

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless V2

Creative Sound BlasterX H5 Tournament Edition

Creative Sound Blaster XH3

Sennheiser GSP 300

These are all headsets.

 

EDIT: except for the superlux.

Mic is not too important to me.

Don't know for the others, but I have a HyperX Cloud 2... but since I now use a Yamaha AG03 for my audio, I should have bought the Cloud since the Cloud 2 has a TRRS jack (+ a shitty USB adapter) instead of 2x TRS for the Cloud (without adapter).

 

The Clouds have a good quality for their price and the mic is alright.

Hey! I have the Artic 5s. I do like them. I have a big head and headsets are usually super uncomfortable for me. However, this is so nice and light on the ears (but firm enough to not go flying when you rage). Even though its cool to have the RGB option, I would honestly go with a wireless headset (Artic 7) at this point. Just because the cable tangles sometimes and that become quite annoying.

My top two:

  • Hyper X Cloud II

  • Sennheiser GSP 300

I have a Hyper X Cloud X, and it's great. Comes with two sets of ear pads too, in case you have a preference.

My roommate has a Sennheiser Game Zero, amazing unit. I imagine the GSP would be similar.

My budget is below 100euro but I would prefer something around 60-70euro so that I can invest money difference in other stuff , many headset/headphones from my list are above budget but I expect solid price drop on black friday.

Are these just for computer use, or would you possibly be using them on a cell phone / portable device for music?

So I am gonna quote the headphone guru "Innerfidelity" and recommend you buy the Sennheiser HD 471. He praised this headphone so much and it's only 40€. He basically said that it is a flat sounding headphone with slightly rolled off highs. It's not the most exciting headphone, but it's true to the recording. 

 

Here's the Amazon link:

Just for PC, gaming - movies - music.

I would get that sennheiser headset massdrop is selling for $120. Honestly, you dont need anything more than that headset and getting less means you're sacrificing something in return
