my headphones used for gaming

in the office - Beyerdynamic DT990 + Firestone Audio Cute Battery II Headamp + Fubar II USB DAC... this is mainly for music and movies... but i also use it for some gaming in the office to release stress




my main gaming headphone.... Audio Technica A500. awesome cans with WIIIIIIDDEEE soundstage and awesome sound positioning. i can know exactly where the enemy is when i hear their footsteps this is connected to an Audigy 2 ZS and without amp. pic is with the cans and stock pleather pads.... the A500 pleather pads has now been replaced with pure leather pads... the leather pads actually helped in improving the bass of the headphones and helped to give more body to the sound... if one day im itchy ill do the Blue-Tak mod to the headphones...






@mois
u should check out head-fi for the Blue Tak mod oso man..

Does Sennheiser HD-555 count as gaming headphone?

if u use it for gaming why not???

heck the 2 headphones i posted are audiophile headphones man

so im sure ur Senn can be posted as well



its just a matter of what u use... not necessarily how its marketed/ labelled

Yeah hd555 500 595 counted as gaming headphone
600 and 650 more to audiophile i guess
Pc161, pc166, pc350. Heard pc350 is pretty good. Anyone own it?

Where's Logitech man? There's a gaming headphone also =(
It's called Logitech Gaming Headset...

Would the audio quality difference between gaming headsets and audiophile headsets be noticeable? I noticed that AT has some 'phones priced similar to gaming headphones, and i can do without the built-in mic. I'd prefer something that makes games sound good, not optimized for footsteps and gunshots or stuff like that.

all so pricey...
mine is just somic DJ-840

audiohpile headphones would smack gaming headphones in any aspect.. be it gaming, footsteps, music etc etc...

whats the purpose of this thread???

anyway i use my seinheiser HD595.
is there a pic requirement??

wonder shall i start
gaming mousepad club
spitting bucket club
gamer toilet seat club..
kekeke

getting ridiculous the threads that comes up here

there is...??
oh man..
ok replace with
gaming toothbrush club
gives u the edge of not smelling ureself to death.

Haha...Soon there's 1...
And I wonder what's the use of the toothbrush...
Anyway, back to topic...Where's Logitech?

hu hu all expensive headphones
i only use Audio Technica ATH-T22 for gaming , music , movies almost everything

Mostly use it for gaming , but sometimes plug it to my psp and listen some song's before sleep

can i say that the gaming headphone,watch movie also nice ar??

Plantronics 360 Gaming





good gaming headphone with good price , the only i don't really like is the cord... damn too thin for gaming purposes

I think it is because 5hv2 and icemat siberia is specified for counter strike. So these headsets perform the best for that game.

And yeah i tried my AT on the soundcard. It is just excellent for me.

@sniper, ur headset side design really almost the same as icemat.

anyway... the ultimate reason is because it won't interfere my usage together with spectacles , so i can use it without "sakit" kepala due to pressure from head band

yeap..so siberia is gud enuf for me since i dun watch movies wif my headset..haha..

ooh..im drooling..lol..

Using Plantronics Gamecom | 1 right now.

where's my plantronics audio 350. LOL...missed out.

don't find the purpose of this thread.
you can even stax omega or senn orpheus for gaming if you rich enough , stick to what you have.

of course "gaming" headphone is a piece of crap compare with any audiophile brand cans.

sniper how is the sound of ur headphone? Btw, i use razer piranha and the sound is awesome, really. i aint no audiophile but it satisfy me Enough bass and high. Not that bassy and the mid and high can be easily heard although the clarity not as good as my ksc75.

Get it right la
Gaming headphone like icemat and 5hv2 perform very well in CS. Do u define these headset as crap? Silly dude.

U should try use HD650 for gaming...Eargasm..
Never try never know..

what mikelanding said is true... kekeke...
get your A900 pair with hmmm at least zero dac with built in amp , compare with the SS ,
things will be more amazing , keke....

oh ya , your A900 still new , need to "burn-in" at least for few hundreds hours... deep base will come , not only ah beng "strong" bass.

This post has been edited by 168257061: Dec 6 2008, 11:46 PM

haha..but seriously those A900 aint gaming headset so u cant reali compare them to gaming headsets lik siberia n 5hv2..

to me, the Plantronics i'm using meets my needs ... enough said, not too bassy, ultimately for gaming purposes so for music wise... , ph4iled

i'm quite satisfied even tho some will say like "it's not even a gaming headphone! it's crap, piece or shyt or wutever."

as long there's a clear 'sound' coming from it, it's more than enuff. honestly, i'm more onto graphics, sound is more like a cream when playing games.

yea unless lik u are in competition playin cs not crysis..so u noe how important sound is..haha..

yep, tat's wat i meant. not every1 is playing cs/dota or any tournament based games all the time.

hmm
not trying to argue,
how can you said audiophile cans cant compare with gaming headsets , yet all cans using 2 drivers.
so can I compare beyer mmx300 "gaming" cans with 5hv2 ? if you don't mind the price keke....


seriously , doing a headphone review is hard.
you need an amp , at least a decent one even theres no need amp to drive (e.g ATH-A series ).
A decent DAC ,
well , x-fi sound cards all are crap , how can i describe it , internal dac made the sound stage been "sealed" in a box.

using :

1:) A4tech HD-800 ( sound quality for bassy PErgh..very nice, but cheapo quality build..hahaha...)

2:) Creative Hs-600 ( sound clarity very nice, but not enough bass compare to a4tech )

Whether the headphones is gaming or not, as long the user feels comfortable with it then it is ok liao lo...

haha true true....some headsets can crack ur watermelon head....

wow, mois u finally start this thread.. but too bad i got no headset now.. hope it comes faster... anyway, all headset also stil on own budget and preference and comfy

i use Sennheiser HD-555... good for gaming & audiophile!

I got 3 SS Siberia,
White Black and Red one coming soon.

Do common "gaming" cans like siberia dead easily ? I mean the drivers dead.
which is better among with the "5.1 surround". stereo driver for fps game is abit hard for me, need to guess whether front/rear left or right

hope get beyer mmx300 but toooo expensive.

im using a pc-350 sennheiser. LOVING IT

actually the soundcard is equally important..jus use a siberia with a gud soundcard n the directional audio would be great..

can show pic mer...

hmm.... i think the x-fi xtreme gamer is enough for its built in DAC...

errr isn't that is the plantronics audio 370 ? or u just saje main2 ?

This post has been edited by diehachi: Jan 8 2009, 11:40 AM

Audio Technica ATH-T22 i also using put my name on thank you

My MDR-DS7000



can connect to many heatset js need to setting,

isnt it the "center unit" is the DAC to process 7.1 ?

I'm just using steelseries 5HV2.

My current gaming headset, Plantronics Gamecom 1 and Philips HP895.

That is the transmitter for headset, hardly feel 7.1 coz i don had such high end movie yet. But it cant use normal cable need use Optic fiber to connect between PC n Transmitter.

As i know, inside headset got few small speaker to make it 7.1.

Can wireless headphone also use for gaming? Would it have good sound system also like watching movie & listen to music???
Will it also like suddenly got sound & suddely no sound? cos i may consider to buy this type of headphone for friend as birthday present.

Got this a few days back. Can this consider a gaming headset?



I'm using this for my PC/Console session and music listening.

wow nice headset.. how much u get this?

SteelSeries Siberia Full headset and Razer barracuda user reporting in.. =D

barracuda hp1 reporting in!

can i know about basic quality of a gaming headset?

fps games demands the most from a headset and its needed to determine where the shot is fired from or the sound of footsteps. so basically clarity of sound and good directional audio is a must.

woooo
how bout speaker?
2.1 not gud enuf do i need 5 or mayb 7 ch speaker?
BTW its gaming headset thread

AudioTechnica ATH-A900

waa.. look syok cool. but i like the lights at the side of barracuda more =P

Haha.. ATH A900 is far far far far far far more superior than barracuda la in terms of sound quality.. Who cares bout the lights..?

what brand is consider for low-budget gaming+movie+music headphone?

i used to have this AVF headset, the cord is like SteelSeries cord (how to say aaa?), the mic and the headset comfort enough... not bad la for RM29.90

'sup guys. Using HP-1 here, overall I'm pretty satisfied with its sound accuracy, and it's double as a wow factor among my friends. Haha.. Tho I must say, the bass is lacking. But I do enjoy the vibrating effect when there's explosion around me

My Pioneer headset

Accuracy of sound placement. Durable and quality of the sound.
Anyone here have tested the AD700?

i play FPS alot (mainly COD4 and UT3)

ive used 5.1 speakers and my Audio Technica A500 headphones for them...



i get better positioning with the headphones...



better sound quality only meh???

its better in EVERY way compared to that fragile piece of crap razer is conning people with...




@sniper69
i see ur siggy....u wanna sell ur A900 already ah??? why man?

Got Baracuda but suks so damn fragile my screws came off and it fell apart.(so threw it away)

Just got the Logitech G35.


Sound quality decent lah but sound needs to be louder.

i am currently using a Plantronics Gamecom 367

not a bad headphone for budget users like me....XD

i am a poor guy

urgh the pleather pads on the A500 make my ears sweat like mad. i think i'll change them out to the ad700 velour pads when i get the chance. positioning is awesome though =D

i changed the pads on my A500 to the leather earpads of the A1000

if u use the velour pads it might change ur sound signature....even the leather pads changed the sound signature on my A500...

oops

This post has been edited by TomatomanzSeedlezz: Jun 13 2009, 06:30 PM

i read head-fi and some said the velour pads are thinner....maybe those a1000 pads would be better actually. how much do they change the sound?

mostly its similar with only subtle differences....

but most noticeable difference was the bass was stronger and tighter...

bought it at about RM100 from bluetin.com....a fellow forumer went to singapore and helped me buy them while he was there.

take note...that ur still gonna sweat with the leather pads...typical of closed headphones.

any 3h users here how exactly fit ear?mind giving me pics see how it fits tqtq

This post has been edited by H3LLKEEPER: Jun 14 2009, 02:14 PM

i use ..... modded im716 ... guess it dun count as headset , hahahaha

sealed ear i recommend Plantronics Gamecom 367 or 377 or 777

price and design and durability is good...XD

i just used sennheiser pc350,
but i dont know how to rate this one because it my 1st headset

Nice high end headphone u have there. How much u bought it? Rm750? And what soundcard do u use?

pc350? lol, overkill. how's the overall sound quality? (in terms of gaming, as well as music if u dont mind since the price is in the range of a good audiophile headphone)

i bought from bata (bulk), rm700
im using realtek HD audio (onboard)
but im still considering to upgrade with Creative PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Audio Card
my friend say the sound quality is very good when he play cs
but it lack of bass when play music

if PC350 is overkill for gaming then i wonder what my DT990 is

all of u guys buy such high end headphones....

nah i am using a Behringer HPM 1000 only..been serving me for almost 4yrs
for gaming and music and movie..hehe

can i ask some opinions?

my brother wans to get a new gaming headphone, his budget is >300
any idea? he wans a headphone tat conceal ears...
plz recommend me some

@espada u can try look for AudioTechnica ATH Pro5 V..
it cost less than RM280 if not mistaken...

is that less than 300 or more than 300??? i get confused with the symbols people use here...

to me <300 is less than 300 and >300 is greater than 300.... thats coz my SPSS syntax uses it that way

if more than 300 then Audio Technica A500 for about RM 400 from walabies...if less than 300 than the Audio Technica M30 for about RM220 from akabane.

the AudioTechnica ATH Pro5 V as suggested by kerryking should be a good one oso

I'm bought a Steelseries 5hv2 a few weeks back from SG. It was so comfortable that I dont realise that i'm wearing a headphone even for hours of gaming & the best part is that it doesnt make ur ears sweat.

I bought the headphone along with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty pro series(what a mouth full). A huge improvement from my standard headphone and onboard MB sound card. The sound positioning is excellence which allows u to tell the position of ur targets

SteelSeries 5hv2 is a really good headphone especially where comfort is very important if u are gaming for long hours. I recommend this headphone to any1.

Comfort score : 10/10

btw, I have a big head, most of the motorcycle helmet in the market cannot fix me. So if ur head is smaller than mine, I bet it will be even more comfortable.
