I've only seen gaming headphones for demo at the 4th floor of lowyat. But only brands like Razer and Steelseires too.
I'm not really sure about the difference between the two headphones you mentioned but the sound would obviously be quite different.

Flat would actually mean that the the neither lows, mids or the highs over power each other. And the sound is quite neutral.
Mostly just the studio monitoring headphones have flat response.

I see. me too using simple 2.1 speakers, but I always play at night after dinner, cannot open speaker too loud, kids need to sleep and neighbor will complain. So looking for a budget friendly, stereo headset that can enjoy abit.




ok thanks for your time for the reply. I will look into them myself or maybe buy 1 to test.

i think good 5.1 surround music headphone is better than gaming headphone....

gaming headphones sound quality really like shxt... if u plan for multipurpose, u wont like it.....

I have ordered an edifier hi-fi h850 for music already.

can suggest a entry level/budget friendly stereo headset for gaming?

I am also consider to add an asus sound card/dac+amp for headphone if necessary.

p/s: silence environment, so only can enjoy with headset.

i cant really give any comment about headphones because i also new in this area. But i tried Logitech G and razer headphones by playing music only, really cannot feel any special about the headphones. Maybe next time i should download a youtube game trailer into my phone and test the headphone. LOL

5.1 surround music headphone? what?

IMO, the Audio-Technica AD700X do well with gaming. Large soundstage, good coherence.
They are very good for music too!

sorry, forgot music headphone dun have 5.1 LOL

get a high end headphone + a lapel mic ? better sound overall..

cause i own a steelseries siberia v2 the sound is lol compared to music headphones.

this "zalman zm-mic1" macam yes but cant find any here need online buy

I agree I strongly suggest with another use of a standalone microphone.

standalone microphone cost a bomb @@
I'm currently using my asus xonar u1 mic ... lol , friend said always heard electric current sound

I don't exactly mean those good condenser/dynamic mic. It can be some RM10 microphone from your local computer shop
It might be your ground looping electrical noises, or EMI from nearby object (mobile phones)

ground looping electrical noises <-- what's that ? even my speaker sometime also can heard the electric sound, but those are cable problem , just move around the cable , then the sound is gone. My mobile phone is never near my computer desk...

Ground looping.. actually i dont quite understand but from what i know, its a electrical connection issue, or can say like "dirty" electricity. Sometimes I have it when my family turned on the air-conditional, then I tried to use any battery-based player to avoid that noise lol.
Even like feet touching the ground could increase the beep noise.

need to use some sort of transformer for filter "dirty" electric from going into our rig then isolate the rig from touching directly to any kind of electric connector ? like isolate it with rubber material? lol ...

What are you thoughts regarding Superlux HD381F vs Xiaomi Pistons? Thinking of buying my GF a present, she's complaining about her stock HTC earphones.

I heard from my friend that dedicated power block which source the power to our rigs works well.. gotta try it someday.

HD381F - Mid-centric IEM, pretty good for vocal-based tracks. So-so for rock and so on..
Xiaomi Piston v2 - All-rounder IEM, slightly warm sound.

dedicated power block? any more details? gonna google it back home later. hmmm

Google "power conditioner" or "power filter"

Hi, I was struggling to choose between Razer Hammerhead or Steelseries Flux. Both is in ear and no mic. Can anyone advice me bout it regarding to their pro and Cons. Thank you.

from the experience when I used my friend's Hammerhead, the feel is super heavy bass. If u like it then is ok. Wonder if it is a gaming headphone or not.

pros

-heavy bass
-suitable for watching SciFi Movie and listen to electro music

Cons

-Vocal sound not clear


the steelseries i never use so no comment for it.
