A lot of 'gamers' around Tom's would probably disagree with what I'm about to say, but the audiophile world won't. A gaming headset, in comparison to an actual pair of headphones, is
not going to offer comparable audio quality. Ontop of that, 'surround sound' headsets with multiple drivers are just a gimmick, and will never sound better than a pair of good headphones at the same price point. As said by the guys over at Head-Fi:
I'm positive I'll cop a lot of flak for this, but by god this needs to stop. Beats aren't rubbish, that's true. But at it's price point, there are vastly superior offerings from lesser known brands. Gaming headsets similarly are mostly garish offerings from companies that know almost next to nothing about creating a headphone. Plantronics, Steelseries, Turtle Beach are all brands to be avoided in regards to headphones. [ That being said, steelseries do make some epic peripherals that aren't headphones so props to them in that regard ].
All that being said, pick up a decent pair of headphones; if you absolutely need a mic, then at least go with something from a reputable brand within the audio industry and not something developed by the marketing department of some company that makes peripherals. Sennheiser, Shure, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, AKG are all examples of reputable companies. Steelseries, Turtle Beach, Logitech, and Razer are not.
