Which Headset????

[Britster]

I'm planning to buy a surround sound headset (with a decent mic) mainly for my ps4 but also want to use it on my pc. So far I've picked the HyperX Cloud ii and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 but I'm open to further suggestions. Thanks

I would go with the HyperX Cloud 2 or the steelseries arctis five, which has a lit mic, and it is the headset that i use!

 

or if your ears are big then go with the corsair voids or hs50s

Which one of them has surround sound and do you think virtual surround sound is good enough?

Not for some games, its crucial to csgo and pubg.

Whichever one is cheaper, imo console sound isnt that good anyways.

Go out and try a pair of headphones with them

Since headphones are so close to your head.having 7 different speakers inside isn't that different from having just 1,surround is only ever useful in Home Theater situations where you have a large room

Sennheiser PC37x

Please just DO NOT buy a "gaming headset" and if you do have to buy one get one from Sennheiser or the Stereo version of the Hyper X cloud at the least...   

 

Your best option is to buy a good set of headphones and separate mic but this is probably outside of what you want.. 

 

All gaming branded 7.1 and 5.1 headsets are all simulated surround sound with software with the exception of a few that actually have multiple drivers but as noted earlier its pointless this is all a marketing gimmick to get people to buy it...

Surround sound headsets are not crucial to play CSGO and PUBG I can probably hear footsteps and game sounds way better with my Senn HD 558's or HD6XX using stereo.

the arctis 5 has surround sound but the sound is actual cancer with it

 

honestly im gn2 in csgo and i dont need surround sound, i can hear footsteps well without it
