Guys I need a recommendation for headset with mic. Mainly use for gaming>music>movie. I know "gaming" headset a gimmick. If best budget below RM200 but I found Sennheiser PC320 quite tempting for RM 330.

EDIT : ok I have been reading last few pages. What I can see buy cheap good audiophile headphone and separate mic. Do I need specific sound card ? I just build a new computer last week and so far I just plug in my headset into integrate audio motherboard (G1 sniper b5 mobo ) Mainly I play battlefield 4, Dota 2, sometimes rpg,action games etc.

What I found so far that in my budget
Audio Technica ATH TAD300 RM 148
Superlux HD681 RM 138

Which one is better in term of everything mostly in gaming ?

I'd go for the Superlux HD681. But I don't think it is RM138 unless it's the EVO version. The older HD 681 is sold less than RM100 in LYN garage sales.

No experience with TAD300 so no comment. Search Google for a comparison review or any review on the TAD 300 based on gaming and see if it turns up anything.

sorry my mistake it is EVO version *. How good is the superlux headphone to you ? pros and cons ? and what do you think about the clip mic that you bought. got hissing sound or other interference ( from fan, your breath etc )

Logitech G230. Should be under RM200 from LYN garage sales.

Never tested it myself, but its the most essential non-bloatware 'gaming' headset with 3 years local warranty and also does have a popular reputation and good reviews.

Logitech G230 is okay but the mic is very terrible. It is annoying.

Thanks for the details thumbup.gif Will buy this one after my finals. Ok I more thing about audio card. My mobo currently is using Realtek ALC898 and I did comparison with Xonar DG. I know this sounds ridiculous but from spec sheet/paper ALC898 is slighly better than Xonar DG. So should I get audio card anyway ?

Managed to test the mic I bought from DX.com.

Made a simple video to compare with my Razer mic. Links in the video.



Personal conclusion is that the DX mic works great but it has no noise reduction feature. This is the main reason the Razer mic sounds slightly softer but it has no back ground noise. Also I turned on mic boost for both mics I tested to ensure I can capture my voice properly although this might make the captured sound a bit grainy.

is there any hissing sound ? like a sound if fan directly onto your face and your breath ? and if in gaming you choose an option to press a key to turn on your mic right ?

For $2 you get a mic as good as any gaming headset, you do the calculation. smile.gif

Just make sure to apply mic boost.

Bro..how your g430 headset? Is it good for 7.1 channel headset? Looking to buy it also but need more review on it first..any comment on it?
*
they said g230 is better than g430. because the usb from g430 is not that good compare to g230 audio. Both the same except g430 got the usb sound card.

hi, sifoos and gamers...
i stumble upon this thread while looking for headsets for gaming purpose. can kindly please recommend me a wireless headset. my details are:

Platform: PS3/PS4 and PC/Laptop
Game type: FPS (BF3/4, COD), adventure and racing (GT5/6, NFS, F1..etc)
Budget: max RM1k (makan megi mode for 5 month) tongue.gif
Special criteria: Wireless, Prefer over ear for my large head, prefer cloth than leather/leatherette, dun care if 2.1/7.1, multi platform

Current headset/iem/headphone:

1. Razer Chimeara 2.1: good set of headset. i own 2 actually after the 1st one broken (transmitter/base no signal) i buy a chimeara again. pair with a turtle beach DSS surrond processor.
2. Logitech G230: Dont like it at all, comfort and sound is terrible (and not wireless)
3. Sony Pulse Elite 7.1: Best headset for playstation but not multiplatform sad.gif
4. Razer Electra: good travelling headset. love it. but too small and leatherette cushion gets hot
5. Plantronic back beat go 2: good sound and comfort to pair with a psvita
6. Siberia v2: too tight sad.gif

thinking to get the astro A50 or Steelseries H wireless.

by reading pages on this thread..it made me wonder, maybe i should invest in a headset made by audio specialist like audio technika, bayerdymanic etc...

any sugesstion?

thank you

if you really have that much money go for Audio Technica ATH AG1/ADG1. It is wired though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEAM71jcp4U
