Do beats by dre work for gaming?

[TheColeTrain]

I was wondering if my Beats by dre solo HD would work for gaming. I am willing to pay $40 for a new mic and am wondering if it would be more beneficial to spend the $40 on a gaming headset with a built in microphone

Music headset isnt meant for gaming but you could still use it. i rather you buy a gaming headset

It's better if you spend your $40 on a gaming headset w/ built in mic. Beats headphones aren't very good for gaming. I suggest you to buy Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset.

Beats shouold be fine, but I haven't used them before. Try using them and see how you like them. Gaming headphones come with more features. I bought a pair of creatives that come with a virtual 3D and a decent set of enhancements (USB soundcard and drivers with special effects). The built-in mice / mic attachment is probably easier than always clipping anther wire onto your shirt.

As for quality? My creatives sound a bit better than cheap headphones and the effects help me customize them to where I like. I like the extra audio dongle because my desktop's cheap motherboard /case pick up interference on the front headphone port that drives me crazy. The inline volume control needed WD-40 for ages though since the left and right headphone speakers stopped playing at the same volume after a while.

Cole Train, Your idea is just fine if you like the Beats. A good headphone is a good headphone no matter what the sound source. Cheap headphones just mask sound defects better.
