Hello, newbie here!

I am looking for a gaming headset (yes, with mic). I have a budget of RM500 and I am not a fan of 7.1 surround sound in gaming headset, due to the small drivers they fit in the headset (do correct me if I am wrong, gurus). To narrow this down, I have beedn doing some research and I have eyes on the Logitech G930 (since I prefer wireless and the surround is virtual from Dolby, and you may turn that off). However, this is an old headset. Also, the Razer Tiamat 2.2 headset has 4 x 40mm drivers (not sure if they are bad drivers) and has a reasonable selling price. So, I need more recommendations from other sources. Other recommendations on brands and what not.

Since I am posting this, might as well ask whether the size of the drivers play a main role in the decision? Sound quality, of course. I like mediocre bass (but still good), good mid and slightly high in highs.

Any recommendation on other headphones than listed above within my budget, do let me know. Hope I am detailed enough for you guys to help!

Thank you in advance!

define "heavy gaming"

might cost u a whole damm lots, but the price justifies the quality, don't go for those like razer b.s, bad quality at high price

other senn headsets, all are better than "so called the best" razer

During weekends, I play from morning till night. FPS games and MMO. And I use a lot of voice chat when streaming, hence the mic. But 1k+ is definitely not in my budget range, muchacho. smile.gif

almost all are over ear, i dont remember senn making on ears in headset line up
another can consider is the steelseries siberia, i think they look fancy, but not the best sounding gear

Well, I'm really looking into the Sennheiser line up like you said. Any local price list for these?

cmstorm sirus 5.1

sennheiser pc323d

I own all the above headsets and other headphones and I have to say they are all good for gaming purposes. Just don't buy Razer, the only thing u can buy from Razer is their Deathadder mouse.

Just got a new budget. So, like noobandroid said. Might as well go the sennies? G4ME line looks promising. smile.gif

what's your new budget? g4me line is promising as i use pc323d myself

now i use akg q701 with zalman clip on mic for gaming smile.gif

alternatively, you can buy ath-ad700/ad700x for gaming as well
*
Okay now you got me thinking again. I don't know much but which is better? I don't mind getting an external mic because I do have this thing with mic quality, too.

custom one pro, ath-m50, sennheiser hd380pro, creative aurvana live 2
tongue.gif ad700/ad700x is probably the best headphone for fps games

zalman clip on mic is very sensitive you just have to whisper to get detected.

No, no. I mean what do you think of the comparison between the sennies and the ones you mentioned. Heard a lot of good things about the Zalman tho.

if you insist to buy the sennheiser i will recommend pc360. although it is a 2-3 years old model but then its price is reduced overtime therefore it is a bargain buy. for other models, you are paying a premium for the headset since for a similar price u can buy a better headphone with zalman.

i nvr use ad700 before but everyone says the positioning is very accurate, the thing is its bass is very light and that is why i chose akg q701 instead. q701 can be used for music, movies and gaming. the soundstage is very wide and the positioning is very good. i can listen to footsteps and gunfire and identify the location of the enemy. for sennheiser gaming line i only used pc323d, it is good for its price (i got it for rm250 (50% off)) and comes with dolby surround sound card.

zalman is a very good mic but is hard to get it in malaysia.

I appreciate the time narrowing down all this, dude. I saw a lot of good reviews on the PC 323D but surround is not for me. I don't do heavy FPS games, anyway. Q701 is, however, very sexy, though. biggrin.gif

the driver is not the point, the main thing is it's implementation, big driver doesnt mean a better sound

Ah, I didn't know. Elaborate implementation?

Hi,

The moment I transferred funds, DAViS hasn't replied me. Ordered a pair of sennies. Is he always this slow?

Thanks.

Just tried it on after unboxing. Very very comfortable. My room is air conditioned, so no problem with the leatherette. If your room is hot, might as well get the G4ME ONE.

lol just use it. burn in essentially means let the driver to loosen up. it's like buying a car and it will only then becomes smooth after a while, you dont just open the engine overnight and park there, do you?
