Mobile earphones on gaming pc

[Gamerz97]

I have Vivo XE600i . Can I use it for gaming on my pc? or it is not recommended?

Can you use them? Sure
But why the hell would you use 3rd rate chinese garbage like that? If you already spent $1000 on a gaming PC, you should spend the $75 it costs to get decent headphones like the HD518 or ATH-M30x

agreed, yes you can. if its a phone headset with a 4pole 3.5mm connector with combined mic/headphone you will want an adapter to convert it to the separate mic and headphone jacks pcs use.

also agreed, if you have a gaming pc it would be worthwhile to consider something better if you have the budget.

Lol I did not spend money for that earphone. It's a package with my phone lol. I asked because I would like to use temporary before I buy logitech g230 / razer kraken pro 2015. I still don't know which one to choose between these headphones.

If you're going to spend $80 on headphones, don't bother with those, there are better options out there that will give you a better sound reproduction

well, unless he needs a microphone in which case his choices for $80 go down quite a bit but agreed.

Only if he absolutely needs a boom mic. there's a nice, though unremarkable $7 audio technica clip mic that should work well enough for most things.

is the microphone meant for direct pc connection? you need to be careful about lavalier mics as most require a preamp. of course ones like the zalman clip on are fine (and any other ones which are designed the same way for direct pc connection)

Audio-Technica ATR4650 should work with regular PC mic ports, only issues I can find on the net is with apple products that don't actually have mic ports. Should be quite comparable to the zalman though

looks like it.
