I'm just curious, from those of you who have tried multiple wireless gaming headsets, which of them have the best sound quality for both gaming and listening to music/watching movies? I'm really just trying to figure out what the best pair of wireless headphones are, but I'm torn between the Siberia 800, Arctis 7, Razer Thresher, Cloud Flight, or the LucidSound LS30/40, A50's, G533's, or some other wireless headphone that might also work for gaming.

 

I've heard the LucidSound LS30/40's have great sound quality, but poor build quality and I've never heard of them before, so I'm unsure. The Cloud Flight's are said to have great audio quality, but are missing a ton of features like battery indicator and sidetone. I've heard mixed reviews on both the Arctis 7 and the Siberia 800/840. Some people claim that the audio quality is great, others claim that it is horrible and has no bass. I've heard similar reviews about both the Cloud Flight and the Razer Thresher having either great audio, or horrible audio.. And I've heard of certain wireless headsets like the Arctis 7 and Razer Thresh having an issue with not being loud enough even at max volume? I'm really torn between what to get. :\

I'm not concerned with mic quality, just which wireless headsets have the best all-around audio quality, without really heavily lacking in anything like bass or volume. I'm using a Blue Yeti microphone, so I won't be using the mic on the headset anyway. My only headset reference is the Sennheiser Game One's, which I absolutely love the audio quality on, but wish it had more bass for gaming/music and it isn't wireless. Otherwise it's a near perfect headset for me. I've also used the Logitech G933, but I hated the audio quality and thought they were uncomfortable to wear.

 

My price point is 200$.

Sorry tl;Dr but all wireless gaming headsets are shit. If you can, get a wired headphone.

I wouldn't even know where to start, honestly. I've only ever used the Sennheiser Game One's and I don't think my motherboard can drive them correctly, as they were seriously lacking in bass. I'm just using my PC's motherboard to power whatever headphones I choose to purchase, so I'm at a bit of a loss there.

If you have audio shops nearby, try to find and test the DT770/DT990/Philips X2 before buying, you will find loads of bass there (dt770 has the most bass). Not that hard to drive, unless or until you have a super old mobo like from the 2010 or older (dang i feel old).

 

EDIT: Game ones are not bass oriented as they are open-back (iirc) gaming headsets. DT990/X2 will not satisfy your bass needs then. You can go for DT770 imo, but do try them out before purchasing or listen to the sound demo in youtube so that you get a general idea of the sound signature (is not 100% accurate but gives a brief idea).
