[vycka123]

Hello guys,i would like you to help me choosing a headset , for what i see in price rate these are the candidates - steelserias siberia v2 / razer kraken ( not pro , normal ones ) / razer electra / turtle beach earforce z22 , logitech g230 / sennheiser hd 449. I will be using them mainly for gaming / fps / multiplayers all that stuff

If you're looking for the best sound quality, I would go with the Sennheiser headphones. 9 times out of 10, a pair of headphones will sound sound better than a headset in the same price bracket.

i had the logitech g930 for a very long time like over 5 years , and after switching to sennheiser , man i call tell you every dollar is worth this headset , no i don't recommend razer kraken nor steelserias siberia over the sennheiser , how i found out its better? i spent a lot of time on this site
http/www.head-fi.org/ , which is one amazing site for audio/music/headphones etc reviews and advices .

 

[vycka123]

wow the price is just :OOO i can't afford them,but what do u think about those hd449 or hd 239? and how about those turtle beach ? i heard some nice feedbacks about them too !

 

[Azizinum]

the HD series of sennheiser are totally great but lacks a microphone ,if that is not an issue with you then go for the hd558 ,alot of moderators in head-fi.org recommended this headset "hd558" ,but if you want more details you can always ask in the forums of the site i gave u , people there will provide you a lot of advices and more details or even better headset for the budget you got
turtle beach got awesome reviews specially the px22 , and for picking what it's a personal taste.

np bro,i just sended back my steelseries siberia v1 , they were so unconfortable... i can't stand that pain in ear's :[ , SO yeah i'm still doing research about the headsets and stuff looks like steelseries siberia v2 has the same stats as the razer kraken acording to my research.Looks like sennheiser PC serries has the same spec's as the ss siberia v2, i'm still considering it, what's the difference between 40mm and 50mm drivers in headsets? i'm guessing 50mm are better for sure,it reproduce's better sound quality? fix me here if i'm wrong about this.So long story short i'm thinking about few options, steelseries siberia v2 / turtle beach turtle beach z22 / turtle beach px22 / logitech g230 / sennheiser hd 205 / razer kraken . I choose these becouse it has basicly the same price. +/- 5$ .

i recommend for a smart buy , the turtle beach px22 , decent price ,good stats ,amp and a microphone , ofc the sennheiser will give you more sound quality cause it's built for music but u will lack a microphone , another good choice is the g930 logitech , cost around 100 dollars but its extremely comfortable ,wireless+ with a Noise-cancelling boom mic .

I, personally, don't like Turtle Beach headsets. I've owned my fair share (X11, X12, X32), but have always found them to be uncomfortable and they just don't sound all that great. That's not to say they sound like complete garbage, but you can find something that will sound better for the money.

I have used a couple pairs of Logitech headsets, including the G930's. While you can make them sound pretty good for the money, I found the G930's to be quite buggy. I, and several friends of mine that own them, have issues with them randomly disconnecting, not muting, resetting side-tone settings, etc. Those bugs don't seem to be there on the G430's, so I'd imagine that the problem lies with the wireless radio. The G230's wouldn't have those issues since they are strictly analog.

If a mic isn't necessary at the moment, I would really try to invest in a pair of headphones like the Sennheisers. I have used and own a couple pair of Sennheiser headphones/headsets and other equipment of theirs (Wireless packs, microphones, etc.). I am using the Sennheiser PC360 at this very moment. I also have a pair of HD280 Pro's. They cost about $100 and sound great for what you're paying. Even if you don't go with these specific headsets, I'm sure they will probably sound better than a headset in the same price bracket.

Long story short, if you need a mic with it, then I'd probably go with a Logitech headset (although I would probably try to go for the G430 over the G230 if you can), but if you don't need a mic right now, then I'd go with a Sennheiser (or other reputable brand) and get a mod-mic later on if you needed one.

i dont think i need mic that much,i have one already , but the mic that i have costs like 5$ =D and it's pritty decent i can say.From sennheisers i can choose only these sadly - hd 449 and hd 239 ( they dont have mic , are a bit more pricy - 100$ the same price for both ) , steelseries siberia v2 / tb px22 / z22 90$ , razer kraken's are the cheapest 68$ ( non pro ) , sadly i can only get logitech 230 ;/ for 90$ aswell. Fck the price's where i live ! So last desicion guys =D i neeed a lot time buying new stuff

if you don't care about the mic and u own one already then no doubt getting a Sennheiser headset , the difference between the HD 449 and the HD 239 is noticeable , some people prefer a small ear pad , others prefer a big one , if i were you i would wear both and see what suit you more , but no doubt the big ear pad more comfortable that's just my personal opinion ,so yea Sennheiser would be the best choice for audio quality.

I'd get the HD 449's over the HD 239's any day. It has a slightly larger range of frequencies and is around the ear, which (imo) is more comfortable.
