oh ok.. so wat kind of cable is actually dangle free? if i have to use it wired then i have to buy DSS, but with the price of DSS+pulse, wat kind of alternative am i looking at?

ok, i saw Heavyarm are still selling them tho.. with the DSS can i actually use the mic on the headphones? or just for the audio out?

Like these kinds - http://mizco.com/8ft-tanglefree-3-5mm-auxillary-cable.html

I don't know if a DSS is still purchaseable or not, TB already stopped production on that. But assuming you pay RM300 + Pulse (RM400), at around RM700 you can take a look at a Sennheiser HD558.
The DSS though IMO is a needed investment one way or another, since you'll be able to use it for the PS3 and the (I'm assuming you'll get one) a PS4 as well as a PC.

looking for a wireless headset
i already got an audiophile headphone (akg k550) and usb dac for music.

i just need something that i can put on my head and move around without any tangle.
any reviews for logitech g930?

i`ll be using it for games and movies.
how does it sound?

I own a G930(Got it from PIKOM fair with a good discount)

All I can say is:

1. For a USB wireless type, outstanding sound quality for music and gaming, no annoying tangling wires and free to move/doing something else without putting it down(a bit heavy for frequent putting on/take down)

2. Durable built for daily wear and tear

3. Good battery life, and most important is, the battery is swappable and it got a manual to guide you how to swap it~

The downside:

1. Its leather cushion makes it less desirable in non air-con room + hot afternoon temperature

2. It is USB wireless and it is huge, so you still need a laptop + a customized headphone bag if you intend to enjoy music while travelling.

RM550-RM600 might sound a bit too much for a gaming budget, but it is absolutely worth it if you really don't like the tangling wire from wired headphone.

Recommend me some nice headset(ear buds) as my steelseries siberia v2 is getting really uncomfortable in my new hot room. The leather cushion is really killing me in this hot condition. Budget can be up to 350-400.

Aiks, seems like im alone here, maybe i will try that myself, will be quite an expensive lesson if the headphone is not good. But i think my ear not that sensitive to differentiate those bad from good, plus im using PC330 currently, hopefully the improvement is significant enough to justify the price different. Ordered one for myself.

Thanks.

No, the DSS doesn't have an input for mic in. Only the Creative Recon3D and Astro Mixamps have that.
I use a bluetooth clip-on earpiece for chat though, since you can output voice audio to headphones or speakers.

It's a much better alternative IMO because then I don't need to meddle with a long mic.


Sorry, didn't actually saw your post at the top of this page.

All Sennheiser headphones/headsets has a sort of a clamping pressure, kinda like their signature. With that said, different Senn cans has a different clamping pressure.
The PC350 doesn't clamp as tight as the PC330, but I always found the pleather earpads to be uncomfortable on them.

The PC350 has a different sound signature all together in comparison to the PC330. It extends quite well on the mid-bass side, without rolling off into the low-mids. Mids though, given this is a closed headset doesn't sound as forward as I expected it to be. It felt airy and the highs can be a little fatiguing at the same time.

Personally, I never liked the PC350.

As for the amp, it really really depends on the situation. The DX has no headphone amp, but neither the PC330 or PC350 needs an amp to drive them. But the DX's output line is at a stupid high 100ohms output impedence, way too high for the either headsets. Rule of thumb is that output impedence should be 1/8th of a headphone/headset's impedence, although many other exceptions may apply.
For this case, the PC330/350 will probably have some dampening or bass distortion at very high volumes with the DX.

Upgrading to a STX will improve your sound quality, but not by much because the PC330/350 are limited to what they are. They're low-impedance, easy to drive cans with only marginal benefits in amping.

Wow, thanks for the detail explanation/opinion. I was in doubt with other headset as well, as i would prefer built in mic in my headset during gaming. Thus, prohibit me from getting those better headset which recommended by you guys few pages behind. Alright, since i already bought it, i will going to try myself on this PC330 and PC350. Maybe will attempt on Asus STX essense later if budget allow.

The PC330 clamping really hurt my ears, sweat...

oh ok. clip-on earpiece? u mean like a clip on shirt handsfree but u don use it earpiece? can give some example? i saw review about this DSS they said their virtual surround thingy is mixed bag. Some games awesome, some games flat. damn, hard to choose a decent stuff lol..

Do you absolutely need to try the PC350 though? As in, do you really only want to have a closed headset? If not, the PC360 is a good alternative choice.
A lot more bass shy than the PC350 however, but the mids are more detailed and the highs aren't as fatiguing. Most importantly, it's much more comfortable than the PC350 IMO.

The downside is that it is an open headset, so sound can leak out and you're not totally isolated from outside noise.


Yup, I use this - http://www.itechdynamic.com/Clip-II-mini-6...nproduct/view/7

Dolby Headphones aren't for everyone, I personally can't live without it.
I use it on all games and IMO it improves positional cues for every game I've used it with. Try it out, if you don't like it you can always disable it.

Hmmm... ya i would like to try closed headset. Thats why not considering PC360/PC363. Might be regret hearing you. adui. Cuz now using PC330 still can hear roommate playing korean drama, yucks. wanna change that. Haha

Should have honestly go for a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro + DX clip on mic
But let us know what you think, you might just like the PC350 since sound and comfort are fairly subjective.

Ahh... Too late for me... THanks for the suggestion and wish me luck.
Hopefully it will be good for me.

Thanks!

Guys, is there any wireless headset recommended? Currently gaming on my couch with 360 controller. Enjoy sweet moment.

How about razer chimaera?

That one compatible with PC? Google up, that one for Xbox 360.


Sorry not make my self clear early on. Im gaming with PC.

Yup...can use on pc.....just need a simple converter...but the sound will be just stereo though...not 5.1.

Ah. Kinda waste there. Saw Logitech wireless one. Quite expensive. rm599.
Guess, had to stuck with messy speaker cable for the time being.

- Your rig - Laptop
- What type of usage - Gaming, Movies, Music ( Gaming is the first priority among all )
- File format used in your source - mp3, mp4,
- Genre of music you listen to - Any
- Headphone/ earphone type - Any as long as its comfortable for long-usage
- Other requirements (if any) - good mic which has noise-cancelling feature because I have to communicate with my teammates with skype

I am interested in this item : http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=PL86051-22

DOTA 2 PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 780 HEADSET
My friend's selling it for RM150 without the digital item. Do you guys think its worth it for this price of headset or there's better headset to offer ?

Can you increase your budget? If that's your absolute limit and you crucially need a mic that is attached, then RM150 isn't that horrible of a deal.

But because it is a USB headset, that basically means a huge no-no from me regardless of what type of sound quality it has.
USB = static, pops, cracks, buzz, and all kinds of stupid things in the audio chain.

Otherwise as was already suggested in this thread countless times, a Superlux 668b/681 will actually be better than the gamecom 780 while costing the same. Of course, you'd need to get an external mic elsewhere.
