Who Makes The Best Gaming Headsets?
Who Makes The Best Gaming Headsets?
30
My Son use Razer Kraken for his XBOX. He got that because it looks cool and Razer Sponsored many E3 tournaments. He sees all the PROs wear them and saved enough of his own $ and bought a pair when Razer had them at 50% off sale. I put them on and threw up a little in my mouth.

Disappointed that someone even put them up as an option
Definitly Beyerdynamic
Ever since I had my SteelSeries headset snapped completely due to poor build and design quality I cannot recommend them.
well if you want the "best gaming headphones" then might as well go with DT1990's or the HD660S. its sorta pointless adding a lot of cheap lower end options if you want the "best" and if you want to make them headsets you can just get one of those mini/little boom mic things.

I use a pair of HD650 for music and films. But for "competitive" gaming, they do not do the job. I need more bass/treble, way more punchy cans to be able to hear steps, to identify fire location. The gaming headsets specialize in that. I use a Steelseries one: Awful from an audiophile perspective, excellent for gaming.

i have HD 650's as well and they are not gaming cans for sure. DT1990's and HD660S's are just fantastic on the other hand truly fantastic gaming headphones better then any thing else Ive used and Ive used a lot.

Razer's sound and build quality are below average at best, for a premium price. Had to have several of their cans break on me after less than a year of use for me to learn that. Steelseries' Arctis 7, on the other hand, I've been using for almost two years now. Great sound for gaming, and a mic quality I get compliments on frequently. The battery life is also great.
My vote is on Kingston for using some of the same components as Beyerdynamic.
Razer? What are you, twelve?
I have to say I've never heard of Sennheiser. I did look on their site and the least expensive headset I saw was 100 bucks. Personally, paying over 100 dollars for a headset is not really an option, which knocks Sennheiser out. I have a pair of Corsair Void wireless and they work like a charm and are really comfortable for long and short periods of time. I've used Razer and HyperX and Razer is meh. My friend has had the same pair of HyperX for years and they still work great.

Basic rule for gaming headphones, if they are advertized for gaming, they won’t be good. Buy a decent pair of headphones for a bit under your budget, then get a cheap mic on amazon, and you’ll be much better off. If you are set on having a “headset,” than get a modmic or equivalent, though they are costlier than other mics.

As Z said, if your headset company also makes keyboards, then they probably don't know much about audio and are only selling you gimmicks

Lmao, what does Razer know about sound?
I'm actually after something new for gaming right now. I'm really thinking a nice pair of headphone with a modmic 5. I just can't pick a pair of headphones. Please help. Otherwise I'm just going to buy a steelseries pro... But I want a set I can use away from a computer that doesn't look dumb. I just need good audio quality for competitive gaming.

Try the Superlux HD668B or Superlux HD681. They sound fantastic for what they cost. If you like them i recommend getting these Pads for it https://www.brainwavzaudio.com/collections/headphone-pads/products/headphone-memory-foam-earpads-round-velour (they are also available with leather if you prefer that)
But try it first with out buying the Pads it 30 bucks
And if you ask me i will place a bet that these Superlux sound better than the steelseries you looking for.

I'd have to say the Steelseries are quite good. But if you want something that looks discrete but works well go for a Sennheiser make. They create really nice headphones, I don't own a headset myself but I've been using the HyperX Cloud II's for a while now and I can say that they're quite a bit better. Obviously if you're no audiophile then go for something a little cheaper. I'd say the Arctis 7 is also quite good, but rendered more towards Consoles with the greater look yet weaker sound. Sorry about the late review, just wanted to share my opinion.
Sennheiser headsets are pretty damn good but expensive. For a budget headset the corsair void usb is excellent it may not sound hifi but its comfortable as all hell. Personally I use HD660s with a mic attached.
