I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones/headset (doesn't matter). I'm primarily a gamer and looking for a headset that accentuates the game audio for a good immersion.
My secondary usage would be watching movies/anime.
I'm not looking for a audiophile headset, nor do I know what it exactly is tbh. I've never used a decent pair of headset in my life so any upgrade from my current cheap one would be a great.
I'm looking for the following this in a headset/headphone:
1. Over-the-ear Circumaural
2. Large ear cups (my ears are on the bigger side with around 6.5cm)
3. Comfort for extended gaming sessions (12+ hours)
4. Don't care much for wireless, but should a really good option be there, I'm not opposed to the idea
5. Since this is my first purchase, I would like to stay in a entry-beginner level budget. Somewhere around $100-$125
I've done a bit of research online and have short-listed a few (in no particular order):
1. G930 - For comfort
2. Steelseries 9H - Once again for comfort and supposed good audio and position audio reproduction. Bit on the expensive side especially with it coming with what appears to be a trash USB sound card.
3. Razer Kraken 7.1 - Good audio, although I've heard the ear cups are small and might not be good for me.
4. Steelseries Siberia V2 - Same thoughts as Kraken above
5. Kingston HyperX Cloud - Heard it's pretty good but inner cups maybe small and not enough positional audio reproduction?
6. Corsair Vengeance 1500 - Smaller ear cups
7. Plantronics Gamecom 780
Now, these were just the few of the ones, there were more, but now they escape me. If anyone could help me decide (not necessarily from the list above), that would be great.
Thank you very much for your time.
