Are the headsets wit surround so that you can hear footsteps?
How come most of the headsets labeled as stereo such as Logitech Precision™ Gaming Headset?

Did you google the review of the headsets?

Actually it's just a headset. Even my Clear Chat headphone also can hear footsteps

errr,wad i meant was can i hear footsteps from all directions? for eg,in those fps games so that i can know where are they come from.

For me yeah can listen. But I seldom listen to footsteps as I play as awper the most.

oo,so even the headset is stereo one also doesn't matter? is that called virtual surround?

depends the game how to render the sound.
even i in cc use avf rm30 also can hear where are the people walking in a certain distance.

no dude... stereo is not surround/virtual surround

I did for Logitech and I got very different reviews One says the cans are comfortable the other says otherwise. However it seems pretty huge and nice to me.

Actually I'm currently using Sennheiser PC30 but the cans are really small and hurt my ears after prolonged usage. I wish to get a really big and comfortable one that is also decent for gaming.

Anyway, what makes 'gaming' headsets stand out? isit better than audiophile headphones like AudioTechnica within the same price range?

what the best way to test my headphone bass & trebel? is the such bencmarking for headphones and/or soundcard?

the word "gaming"

it makes gamers whos not in the know drool over them....especially the brand fanboys




hell friggin NO!

Audiophile suitable for gaming too? So that means I should avoid brands like Razer/Steelseries/Logitech?

In short, yes, u should.
Audiophile headphones are way better.period.

Avoid if u have a decent budget. So far for budget rm300, a lot of people using siberia. The new design of siberia not bad and using a better ear pad isnt? Some audiophile headphones might not really suitable for gaming.

My budget is actually less than RM200...

i test out philips shp2700 and stun by it beat my ATH a500 (mine with onboard audio)

they suitable for bass and rock music while my a500 tend to be soft melodic music

gaming i suggest go for philips if on tight budget, worth it imho

dont really like the philips new handle? easily break, the old one like 805 models and shp8900 more durable

strongly deny it.
Until you get a decent dac/amp , you try to hear again the ath-a500
onboard audio is shit really. can't produce any better sound.
even x-fi sound card sucks, which i'm using too

any recommendation of a headphone that is great for music, movies, and counter-strike? also any recommendation of a good usb sound card to be paired with the headphone? budget is < rm1k for both.

Audio technica headphone rarely need amps to power them up
gonna buy a sound card later and compare, if got time gonna bring my a500 compare side by side

what do thing im feeling when a rm80++ headphone produce a better sound than my rm400 headphone

k nvm i think i'll stretch abit more and make it a RM300 budget.

hmm...usually i use megalodon to listen music and movieXD

seldom use it in gaming
