I have been going back and forth as to whether i should get a new monitor (currently 1080p 60hz) or buy a new headset/headphone+mic as my headset wasnt the best, and I believe it may be going dead on me.
Because I couldn't decide on if I wanted a 1080p 144hz, or a 1440p 144/60hz or a 4k monitor, IPS or just TN, especially with the money that some of the ones that I looked at costing quite a bit, I'm pretty much going with the headphones side of things.
So I am asking the gamers, and the audio junkies of Ted's Hardware for some help. I need headphone recommendations.
I am wanted closed back, not open back, as I also want noise cancelling and dont want outside sound to bleed in or my sound to bleed out. Wireless would also be a nice plus but isn't necessary.
What I have looked at:
SEnnheiser Game Zero
Astro A50
Astro A40
LG G930
Corsair H2100
Razer Tiamat
I have also looked at Sennheiser's Professional headsets and adding a ModMic to them, but those headsets are all open back that I saw.
What's difficult for me is all of this is online, so i can't hear the headphones, nor listen to what the mic sounds like.
What I will be doing with these will be mostly FPS games, so surround is quite handy, and I do play other games as well. I also enjoy watching movies and listening to music. I also enjoy a strong bass to my music.
200-250 is probably the top-end of what I want to spend on headphones. The sennheisers were 200 on amazon last I saw even though listed as $300 themselves.
My motherboard has a 600ohm audio jack. (Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ).
Hopefully I have provided enough information for you to be able to help me.
(also if you have any monitor suggestions I wont turn them away)
