Help me find good headphones for PC games and videos?




Mahboi


I need to buy some new headphones because I'm tired of my old cheap ones. I mostly want to use them for playing PC games and watching YouTube videos. I want most of all voices to be very clear, but I would like music to sound good as well. I do not want them to have a built in mic, but want them to be over the ear. The most I can spend would be $80.

What would you reccomend?



Answer
I was researching headphones for an extensive period a short time ago and the following are what I discovered to be the best for the money. I'm sure there may be more headphones but this is quite an extensive list already.

They are all very recommended and well received budget headphones from members of Head-Fi.org. It will all come down to your preference, check them all out, read the reviews, you won't be disappointed with any of them to be honest.

For only $23 the Monoprice DJ style headphones are a great value, they are a renamed version of a much more expensive headphone, the Kicker HP541, they are somewhat bass heavy so keep that in mind.

Video games?

Answer
A video game is a game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms are broad in range, from large computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use.

The input device normally used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, which varies across platforms. For instance, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick, or feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer based games historically relied on the availability of a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to purchase a separate joystick with at least one button to play. Many modern computer games allow the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

Beyond the common element of visual feedback, video games have utilized other systems to provide interaction and information to the player. Chief examples of these are sound reproduction devices, such as speakers and headphones, and an array of haptic peripherals, such as vibration or force feedback.
