Hmmm surround sound no good for music or something?

I remember one time I had surround sound system (not headset), had to always switch to stereo mode to listen to nice music.

No, atleast imo. Had Roccat Kave before. Music with it was horrendous. Take example AT M50 vs Kave, difference is... shocking.gif

Just got a Steelseries 7H fnatic special edition from Amazon today.  Initial testing it lacks bass but the sound is crystal clear (with only onboard sound) - should be great for gaming.  thumbup.gif  Can't wait for my Gigabyte Z77 Sniper 3 board to return from RMA tomorrow and pair the on board Creative Recon 3D with this new headset.  biggrin.gif

Update us here on the results... drool.gif

I already own a pair of ATH-A700, yeah like you said, no turning back.

Im aiming for ATH-A700X, same one but with better earcups. I think similar to the ones on the M50.

Yeah my pads on my A700 already started to flake after 3 years of heavy use.

In SG if I go to the Audio Technica service centre it costs 36SGD to replace it.
*
Roughly Rm90 for a replacement pair? shocking.gif

It only starts to flake after 3 years? Btw hows the sound quality after that period of time?

Thanks for the link! I'll be reading it laugh.gif
SS eh? I've tried on my friend's Siberia V2 before and the bass wasn't impressive, not sure if it is because my friend tuned down the bass or what, since I've only did a quick test. So as newbie consumer that I am, I will think that since V2 aren't that good, the V1 definitely worse? I don't know  sweat.gif
*
For me they are pretty good for cans of that budget. If compared to Razer Orca or Electra, the V1/V2 wins. Other than that, the Turtle Beach Z11 are not too bad either.

Good bass response, get a closed can Audio Technica, will cost you abit more but definitely more worth it. TBH i let go of both my SS V2 and Roccat Kave when i got my M50, cuz they just cant compete with the quality.

LOL! The M50 is double the price of the others mentioned  shocking.gif With that kind of price, I'm pretty sure the quality is totally premium and WOW. But then again, its waaaaaaaaaaaay out of my budget  cry.gif

Not many options if you need the set urgently.

If not then, chill first, save up and get a proper set, like the M50 or A700X or AD700. With Audio Technica, satisfaction is guaranteed.. rclxm9.gif + a sound card that has virtual 5.1/7.1 for games.

I used to owned "gaming" headsets before just for the mic, but i didnt like the quality of the sound produced.

can recommend me a headset.. all rounder preferred, gaming+movie+music.. mostly on games.. Budget around Rm250.. prefer an over-ear model..
*
As in you need the mic right?

Can have a look at TB Z11 or TB M5 , rm 179 and rm 189 respectively.

Also, Logitech G35 for rm299

Creative Tactic 3D Alpha rm259

Alienware TacX Headset rm239

Prices stated are via lingloong`s price list

Pretty hard to find an all rounder though, tbh. Have to try out and see which you`d prefer.

thanks boss.. will be heading there tomoro biggrin.gif and boss, if i couple the mentioned headsets with asus xonar dg, it will in 5.1? or is it oni good coupled with certain headsets?
*
Xonar DG comes with a built in headphone amp. Very good pair tbh. Very significant difference from on board sound. Not necessarily need 5.1 headset. Cuz with the sound card software, can use stereo with virtual 5.1/7.1, works well for me when playing BF3. thumbup.gif

Used SS V2 and Roccat Kave before,I`d have to say that they were not bad, but after I got my AT M-50, everything changed. brows.gif

wah,. outside prince range tongue.gif haha.. anyway boss thanks for the suggestions, will check it out..

I know but tbh its really worth it.

If you have a chance to try out a demo set of any of those Ive listed, go and try em out for yourself before deciding on which one. Cuz at the end of the day, people can only suggest or recommend but it still comes down to an individual`s personal preference. Diff person, diff taste me, right? brows.gif

curious.. between ATH AD300 and ATH M35, which is a better choice?
*
Very subjective, as both are of different type and purpose. The former is an open back dynamic and the latter is a studio monitoring set. The AD300 should give a more open feel the sound, and the M35 should feel more closed and has better bass reproduction.

Just want to share a link that i found very helpful when i was looking for a headset the last time. I went for the SS V2, still using it today after 2 years. Lovely headset - tho the fitting it's a bit on the loose side after 2 years of usage.

Nice reviews there. Thanks for sharing! rclxms.gif

turtle beach z6a or cm storm cirus 5.1?

Add one more to the equation. Roccat Kave.

Lightest, iinm would be the Z6A followed by the Sirus then Kave.

Sirus is pretty good, tested it once. For me it was better than Kave cuz it was slightly lighter. Audio performance, about the same for me.

ic boss.. im less inclined towards bass.. i tested razer charharias.. i like the sound it produces.. its and open-dynamic rite? how bout same price range (RM250), what headphone would sifu recommend? something like open-dynamic and covers the ear.. Thanks biggrin.gif

The Audio Technica AD series is not bad if you can get them, eg. AD500/AD700. Carcharias is also not too bad, tested one before, have to say that its way better than Electra and Orca.
