help sound SBx AE-5 - I'm looking for a headset

[Uban]

Good day friends

   I would like to ask you for advice, I purchased the SBx AE-5 sound card and I use the old Creative Blazer earpiece (no comment, thank you).

 

 - I'm looking for a headphone for games. Predominantly BF series, Red Orchestra series, Arma series (MMO / RPG) -

 

 - Requirements: position sound

                            bass ( I have a lot, of course, exhausting the sound )

                           

 

   Prices somewhere around 250-300Euro

 

MIC - with them or without them, I'm talking about the sounds of the game. The small room can be supplemented take + -100 Euro.

 

 

Thank you very much for your power, for the cause, or for the reason why the headset is attached to the sound card.

 

   Uban

You can basically mix anything here: 

With the above mentioned ModMic and you'll be good to go

You don't want too much of bass but controlled level of it.

Because too strong bass starts fast drowning mids and treble important for spatial cues.

Highest level of "competitiveness" in fact needs neutral bass, but that leaves "fun factor" lacking with bass sounding shy.

 

Do you have noisy or quiet environment?

Open headphones don't work in loud environment, but have easier time in balancing between good bass impact and details.

And with velour pads they insulate less heat lowering risk of ears sweating, which is good for comfort.

 

If you have average size head AKG K712 would be well balanced between some bass strength and details.

For more different head that automatic headband adjustment might not work so well:

With small especially downward narrowing head ear cups might feel like wanting to crawl down.

And with big head that automatic adjustment might get stretched.

For gaming very similar Beyerdynamic DT990 has manual adjustment with lots of range in it. (and about every part available as spare part)

 

Both work well with ModMic.

I have a bigger head, practically a horn spread to the "U"

I am in a very quiet environment, behind the sounds around.

Yes, you are right, a controlled level of bass with the details of the surroundings.

I think your Beyerdynamic DT990 suggested to you, do you mean 600 Ohm Edition?

And MIC could be solved as please? Still have fun attaching to SBx AE-5?

I have another option, the file will be mixed, but I still present it here.
So I have 2 variants: Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum or BD DT990 600 ohm ...

While AE-5 has enough output voltage for driving 600 ohm DT990 far past hearing safe volume 250 ohm Edition would be better if you ever want to connect it to some other source.

For example most phones/tablets would likely seriously struggle to drive 600 ohm version to good volume.

 

Beyerdynamics would be easy to DIY mic mod with any 3,5mm plug detachable mic used by some headsets:

While not lacking fashionable fancy look that design would be very good for modding microphone into it.

ModMic is simply commercialized package for turning any headphone into headset.

While Logitech isn't worst of "We'll take cheapest trinkets and use most of budget to legalized lying" marketing hype brands wouldn't trust it to give sound even half way as good as some 30€ Superlux HD-330.
