looking for gaming/music headphones

[Yazan Zaid]

i'm not going to edit some music, i'm just going to listen some songs from yourube,discs, and watching movies...but i'm going to primarly use it for gaming,talking on teamspeak/mumble, so what's your recommendations? i got logitech z523 speakers so i want something that blow it..

 

[i7Baby]

Try Corsair 1500 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_1173&products_id=25569

 

[Yazan Zaid]

does it blow the logitech z523?

 

[i7Baby]

Yes - and swallows

 

[Yazan Zaid]

how about logitech g430?who is better

 

[i7Baby]

It's OK. But not as good.

 

[Yazan Zaid]

but i think they are the same can you check again please because i can get discount for logitech g430

 

[i7Baby]

I just checked. The Corsair are better.

Look at reviews.

 

[Yazan Zaid]

but look the microphone on logitech g430 is better right?and corsair vengeace 1500 v2 online has bigger driver!

It really depends on your budget, but have a look at this list: http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-update-7-9-2014-ultrasone-hfi-15g-added
Get one of the good headphones, with an external mic (v-moda sells a great mic with a cable, so you just replace the cable on the headphones where you can), and it will be better than those two options.

 

[Yazan Zaid]

OMG THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE, I'M NOT DJ TO USE THEM😡@

 

[Ytyoussef]

There are different price tiers, of course tier A is going to be expensive, have a look at the headphones in the tier that fits your budget. And what is your budget anyway?

 

[i7Baby]

Bigger drivers are better - better bass response.

 

[Yazan Zaid]

70$~150$ something like that

 

[Yazan Zaid]

another question are they noise canceling headphones?

 

[i7Baby]

As I said - look at reviews eg http://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-vengeance-1500-v2-gaming-headset-review_131162

For competitive gaming, http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-AD700X-Audiophile-Open-Air-Headphones/dp/B009S332TQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1385979471&sr=1-2&keywords=ad700 would be your best option. For a nice overall experience while being cheaper, you can get this http://www.amazon.com/Creative-EF0060-Aurvana-Live-Headphones/dp/B000ZJZ7OA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346741568&sr=1-1&keywords=creative+aurvana+live . Just pair them with something like this: http://www.modmic.com/

 

[Yazan Zaid]

Ohh i forgot to tell you guys i got sms audio street!! are they good? what is the specifications and how can i get them a mic!?

 

[Yazan Zaid]

@YTyoussef Are they surrounded headphones?

 

[Ytyoussef]

They should be good enough, the bass is nice, but there isn't as much detail as the AD700X that I listed above for example. You can just get this mic: http://v-moda.com/boompro-microphone/ and plug it in. No need to buy new headphones.
