Best gaming headphones?

Tiburciano

Hey guys, I'm sick of always getting cheap headphones and ending up regretting my decision so this time I spared some money and now I want to get the best out of it... some people told me to get some astros, other people told me to buy brands like aduiotecnica or sony and buy an A40 amp so I was wondering what do you guys think is the best?

I'm a big fan of bass but of course I like to hear everything crystal clear so something in between these were nice...

Answer
hi mate
this is true.... ive been through several pairs of headphones over the last few years and they only seem to last a few months ... were as if I paid a bit more and purchased a good pair they would probally last several years instead of months
so whats a decent pair of headphones ... well I recommend the "Corsair Vengeance 1500 Dolby 7.1 USB Gaming Headset "( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Peripherals/Headsets/Gaming/Corsair+Vengeance+1500+Dolby+7.1+USB+Gaming+Headset+?productId=57346 ) .. these are a excellent set and the quality shines through being corsair
being usb they are fairly simple to install and they are extrememly comfortable to use ..... however at £77 they don't come cheap,but its better economics to buy a decent pair that will last many years than a substandard pair that will fall to bits within months
also check out the "Creative Soundblaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless Gaming Headset for PC and MAC "( http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/Creative+Soundblaster+Tactic3D+Wrath+Wireless+Gaming+Headset+for+PC+and+MAC+?productId=58744 ) ... used in conjunction with the recon 3d soundcard or other soundblaster products these will bring any game to life,and creative have a tried and tested history in the audio world ...
out of the two pairs I would have to go with the Creative Soundblaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless Gaming Headset .. same price but in my experience creative have the edge when it comes to audio
I hope this helps ... any questions let me know
good luck mate !

Which Headphones Are best for Gaming (PS3) That Support 5.1 or 7.1 Surround?

I would preferably like to keep it Bose branded, but I'm not sure if they make headphones that support 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. My budget is $300. I'm looking for headphones that would sound amazing with games such as "Uncharted 2" "Killzone 3" "Heavy Rain" "Dead Space 2" etc. I want to hear every bird chirp in Uncharted, I want to know when a enemy is trying to sneak up behind me in Killzone 3 by sound alone, I want to hear every scary scratch in the vents and know which direction it's coming from in Dead Space. I want something that sounds nothing less than amazing, that has something like a 360 degree hearing ratio. 5.1 or 7.1 surround.

-EDIT-
Forgive me, I have misread your question :(
I suggested a list of headsets you can go over :)

If you want to go hardcore, here is the Astro A40 headset.. at $200 with 7.1 Surround sound.

There has been a deep rivalry/debate between Turtle Beaches and Trittons.

If you'd like Trittons (which I recommend)

Go with the AXPROs Around $150
http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/gaming_audio_technology/ax-pro/

Or the AX 720s. Around $130
http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/gaming_audio_technology/ax-720/


Or If you'd like Turtle Beaches. Affordable.$80
http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/ps3-gaming-headsets/ear-force-px21.aspx

Or the Px5 (With 7.1 Surround sound) $250

Logitech g930 headphones suddenly play sound louder in right ear ONLY when playing something on a web browser.?

Ron

I can play anything through windows media player movie or song or a video game and the sound is even. It is only when I play anything on a web browser (pandora/streaming/youtube and so forth). It suddenly started doing this a few days ago. It does it on both google chrome and internet explorer. Any idea how to fix this?

Answer
Same thing happened to me and I did this on Win7. Not sure if the steps would be the same for XP but I know they'd be similar...

1) Look on your system try (Lower right, by the clock)
2) Right-click the speaker
3) Click "Playback devices"
4) Highlight the G930
5) Click "Configure"
6) Click next (for me all I could pick was 7.1)
7) Uncheck "Side pair" & "Rear pair"
8) Click Next
9) Make sure that "Front left and right" is only checked
10) Click next, click finish
11) With the G930 still highlighted, click "Properties"
12) Go to the "Enhancements" tab
13) Make sure "Channel Pantomiming" is checked.
14) If it is already checked, uncheck and recheck it, then click apply.

Not sure if all of the steps are necessary, but this is what I did and it worked for me. Hopefully this helps you because it was frustrating the hell out of me because I like to listen to music on youtube.

ASTRO's new A50 headset boasts wireless functionality across all platforms right out of the box, joining the ranks of Turtle Beach, Creative, and Logitech. There are a few missing features holding it back from perfection, but at the end of the day, it's one of the highest-quality gaming headsets you can buy.

More of an evolution than a revolution, the A50's guts are mostly the same as the A40's, exhibiting minor tweaks to the chassis, but major additions in terms of functionality. Doing away with cosmetic tags, ASTRO decided to go with a completely closed-back design, boosting bass response and sound isolation as a result. On top of refining the audio, the new wireless wonder seamlessly integrates ASTRO's old wireless MixAmp into the right can. This is the biggest advantage the A50 has over the wireless A40's reliance on an external device.

Transducer Principle: Open Air
Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20,000 KHz
Nominal Impedance: 48 ohm
Weight w/o cable: 0.81lbs/363 grams
Characteristic SPL: 118 db @1kHz
Ear Coupling: Over-Ear
Connector: 2.5mm XBOX Live® chat port, Mini-USB port
Microphone: 6.0mm uni-directinal noise canceling
Power Supply: USB mini-B (USB 2.0 compatible)
Battery Life: 12+ HoursFrequency Response:35-20,000 Hx
Wireless Radio: 5.8GHz STS Module
Inputs: Optical In, AUX In (3.5mm)
Outputs: Optical Passthrough, USB Power / Voice, USB Charging Port

This above features you can get on this and the 2nd option if you look cheap one can look http://goo.gl/9AVzx this site.It will help you lot.
In case you need to pass the audio signal to another device, you're restricted to optical output; there is no 3.5mm pass-through. This is a noteworthy exclusion because it prevents you from using the A50s in a wired fashion. True, you can connect the USB cable in the event the battery dies, but you are still receiving a wireless audio signal. With this in mind, the A50s do not fall within current MLG regulations. When you consider the prevalence of the A40s among competitive gamers, it's confusing to see such disregard for their strict adherence to hardware standards.

ASTRO implemented a new EQ preset system for the A50, which at the moment is limited to three preloaded configurations. It has stated that a complete software-based customization solution will appear in the near future. When exactly is anyone's guess, but considering Turtle Beach and Creative have products on shelves with this functionality out of the box, it would behoove ASTRO to release its solution in a timely manner.

The first built-in preset, "ASTRO," represents the manufacturer's ideal settings, perceivably ramping up the bass and down-tuning midrange frequencies. "Core" seems to be the baseline EQ preset, reproducing native bass, mid, and treble response as dictated by the audio source. Finally, the "Media" preset boosts the low- and high-end frequencies, leaving the midrange well enough alone to serve as the metaphorical glue, balancing out the two extremes.
So i think my answer solve your problem.
