Go wireless or don’t bother. I have tried many wired headphones for gaming and while I love the sound quality I HATE the wires and the restricted head movement. Most have cables that are too short but others go with cables that are so long they get tangled up in the chair legs. What I would like to see is a wireless based headphone to a base station that can be cables to the sound cards built in sound jacks. This would be a huge step up from the USB approach used by most wireless headsets now. The problem with Bluetooth speakers and sound cards is they just can’t produce at sufficient sound levels to enhance the game experience. So some sort of hybrid approach is what’s really needed here. Just saying.

RhoadleyWireless is garbage for gaming, period. Delay is just too much for fast action games.

wireless tech is going super fast forward atm, logitech wireless mice are on par if not better than all wired garbage out there! hyperx flight, no latency compared to allot of my other wired gear! gaming need wireless freedom, you're an audiopedo? get wired.

KSOgorillaThough it is true that wireless has come far there are still issues with dependability. Sometimes the connection may get interrupted and frankly in fps games that's a no go.

RhoadleyMight I suggest curled wires, they will stay compact yet can stretch when needed.

FantasyAdicti have to disagree, not once my hyperx flight got connection interrupted.
not once did anyone who has those sick wireless headphones had issues, not once did the big Shroud had issues with them (oh yes he is a god in fps games, that says something), again guys, we are past the bullshit, wireless tech if used by a good company, will outperform your standard wires!!! if we want the best of the best, don't cheap out on the wireless tech, also don't be greedy cunts, its not that expensive to produce, my $60 G305 outperforms ANY wired mouse out there!
im sorry, but audiopedo or whatever you call it is a money grabbing bullshit, fostex sell headphones which should cost max $200 for the fancy stuff while they sell the same tech in plastic for $150. if those headphones will go above $200, thats just a scam to rip off people on here. gamers want value for money, and the value nowadays was never so fricking good on cheap shit.
right now i have a $100 keyboard that outperforms the stupid super expensive ALT/SHIFT board that sells here for $200??! for what?
stop ripping off gamers, i wish drop was a normal place like before when it started, but i didn't spend a dime on here since they became stuck up snobs who sell fancy shit that isn't worth it.
wanna build good shit, don't put alien prices on it, that's not alien tech!

Alright guys. Let's keep the conversations, debate, and discussion about wired vs. wireless civil.
To prevent further escalation, I am locking the thread. Have a great day everyone!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
