Gaming headphones

imprezaworks · Oct 4, 2019

What we using and do you rate them etc.

My Kingston hyper cloud are good, think I paid 60 ISH a couple of years ago.

Think the mic needs to be better though.

Anyone tried a few sets and settled on one pair.

Astro A40 seems a good shout. Along with the razor V2.

youngarthur · Oct 4, 2019

I don't have gaming headphones, but quite a few Over ear, in ear, buds etc. I would have thought something like Sony 700ds might work ok for gaming, but of course, they don't have a mike, but always possible to add one.

Darren S · Oct 7, 2019

Whichever you go for - I strongly vouch for wired. Messing about with charge times, additional weight (if only slight) of batteries in the headphones, etc - the small benefit of not having a cable simply isn't worth it for me.

car.crash · Oct 7, 2019

I had the a50. They were great but the wireless was a pain. Go for wired

imprezaworks · Oct 7, 2019

Yeah always had wired.

Keeping an eye on some Razer Kraken v2 on ebay. Like the look of the Astro A40 with mix amp but quite a bit more from what i have seen.

Neesey · Oct 7, 2019

I've got the Kraken 7.1 v2s,they are a bit on the quiet side but the sound is very good.

Triton kunai

Bought a pair 4 or so years ago. They're brilliant for the price and I would highly recommend. I paid £45 for them which was a bargain imo

imprezaworks · Oct 7, 2019

Will have a mooch. You got a link

imprezaworks · Oct 7, 2019

Think they are like 22 and mixed bag of reviews recently?

Tritton Kunai Stereo Headset - Black [PS4] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0091NAG2E/?tag=cliospnet01-21

I had a nosey on amazon. It told me I bought these in january 2015 and they're as new, still working perfectly. I use them about 3 times a week when on the ps4 and they've worn exceptionally well. Theres some slight wear on the ear cups and that's it.

I bought them because they were very well priced, do the job and they plug into the pad. There are better headsets out there but for the money, these are brilliant.

Christopher. · Oct 7, 2019

I shelled out for a pair of Hyper X Cloud 2. Worth the money imo.

imprezaworks · Oct 7, 2019

Current

Adamm. · Oct 8, 2019

Yeah I got the Hyper X Cloud 2 and they seem more than adequate. You can change the mic separately if you feel that's not up to par.

LW93 · Oct 8, 2019

Had my turtle beach XO4 for about 6 years I think still good as new

Stay Puft · Oct 8, 2019

Ive got a wireless Turtle Beach, cost around £70.. cant remember the model. It’s decent enough!

welshname · Oct 8, 2019

I'm using Logitech G533 wireless. Absolutely love it.

I'm a bit of a wireless fanboy though and Logitech were the first ones to market with wireless peripherals that were as good as wired and in some cases better.

imprezaworks · Oct 8, 2019

Anyone tried cheap ones

These seem to get decent reviews,

Used a pair of Tritton's for quite a while - but the bridge section over the top started to split, probably getting over my fat head. I use these at work now.

Picked up a pair of QPAD headphones (possibly QH-90's, but not 100% sure on that) and have been using those for about two years. Proper comfy with good playback.

Don't forget to explore the possibility of having a dedicated soundcard in your PC over the onboard sound, if you use that. I used onboard for a number of years after Creative Labs went through a patch of crap drivers. I thought all was good, until I recently went back to a Creative Labs card and was pleasantly surprised at the improvement in sound quality overall.

Sennheiser GAME one or zero. Very comfy, very nicely made.

imprezaworks · Oct 8, 2019

Will be for my ps4 pro.

I may give the ones i linked a try. Reviews seem decent.

imprezaworks · Oct 8, 2019

Ordered them, get them tomo.

See how they are lol

MarkCup · Oct 8, 2019

How oddly decisive!

imprezaworks · Oct 8, 2019

Been looking since late July.

@SharkyUK Was just about to post that.

imprezaworks · Oct 10, 2019

£170?

Tried the ones at Amazon, decent tbf. Comfortable and the sound is good.

Felt a bit strange after the hyper X but happy with the purchase.

Geddes · Oct 22, 2019

I’m still rocking the X-tatic Sharkoons 5.1 about 12 years old, still going very strong.

wouldnt mind a new headset with similar spec around £150+ area

celicaturbolly · Nov 10, 2019

I have the previous gen of these and they are great, the customisation is a bit boring where you have to go to a site for the levels etc but once you have them dialled I cant fault them

Still happy with my cheap ass pair tbh

I've no idea if they're "the best" mate but I've had no issues whatsoever. In the environments I've used them in (home and office) I've had zero issues.

I'm in need of a new pair of wired headphones replacing my Sharkoons X-Static 5.1 Surround Sound. It has a optical output cable but it would need an adaptor for the PS5. As there is no optical output on the PS5. i looked at the prices of the adaptor and the headset it really showing it's ago. Starting to crackle here and there on the other end of the chat, the wire has been cracked in a couple places showing bare wires which i repaired, other than that works brilliantly regarding it's age of about 8 years old ish.

Looked at the Astro's and would like something around £150+ and having a mixamp too much of a hassle?. Prefer a wired connection also and also having a surround sound experience where i can customise the volume like on my my X-Static control.

Also looked at Sennheiser and Logitec, what are other medium to high spec headsets out there with surround sound?

Geddes · Nov 8, 2020

how about these ones Astro A40 TR? Doesn't mention about surround sound though

imprezaworks · Nov 9, 2020

Always had a good rep the astros iirc

Ray Gin · Nov 9, 2020

I’m moving from Sennheiser 360 special edition to gen 4 Astro A50. Looking forward to seeing (or hearing) what the Astro hype is all about.

Geddes · Nov 10, 2020

Had a look at the Astro A40 TR with and without the mix amp. Is the mix amp worth the extra money, seems a big jump. I’d rather not spend £250 £300 on a headset like

Also the cable for the non Mix Amp does the cable go into the controller? And that mix amp model the cable goes into the mix amp?

Geddes · Nov 10, 2020

Had a look at the bottom of the page on Amazon on the A40 TR. It says for the PS5 you’ll need an adapter.

Could someone find out which one it is and how much?

Mr Burns · Nov 10, 2020

I bought my first gaming headset a few weeks ago too. I went for Turtle Beach Recon 70. They seem decent enough!

On a side note if anyone plays GTA on Xbox message me your gamertag.
