Hi there!
So I need to replace my very much loved, though often broken Sennheiser PC 333d headphones.
I already went to the store and I am now trying out the Steelseries Siberia 800. While this is a VERY good headsets I have some gripes with it. I do do a fair bit of gaming but I mostly listen to music on my PC and sometimes watch some TV. Compared to my Momentum 2 wired Headphones, the whole Siberia 800 feels just flatter (I don't know how to precisely describe it) - I like the sound of the Momentums better. I also do not need surround sound at all (even in my pc 333ds I never used the surround sound option).
So I figure I have three options:
Try out some more wireless gaming headsets, because the wireless part I like - A LOT. For that I would like some recommendations. I would like them to sound BETTER than the Siberia 800.
Go back to a wired option. Probably the Sennheiser Game One or Zero. Though I would need a seperate USB DAC, because my motherbord soundcard is not good. So I would need some reccomendations there too .
Now to my perfect solution. Though this might go way more expensive than any other. I mentioned before that I currently own a Steelseries Siberia 800 AND a Momenturm 2 Wired. I could sell both and buy the Momentum 2 Wireless. One reason why I haven't returned the Siberia 800 is, that it comes with this lovely AMP/Transmission box where you can plug in a PC and a TV at the same time. My dream now (on top of the Wireless Momentums) would be something similar for the new headphones.
My dream box would have an USB IN(from PC, could Optical Out - though going through USB should get better quality no?), at least one Optical IN(2 would be more perfect), some other audio in and outputs. PLUS it would be able to transmit Bluetooth with the aptX codec.
I know this sounds needlessly complicated - why not get a USB dongle for the PC? I tried that with the Sennheiser Urbanite last year (a try in soundquality of wireless headsets before i settled on the wired Momentums). My verdict then was that the sound quality for the dongle was ok, but whenever I started to use VoIP programs something with the codecs went worng and everything suddenly sounded horrible.
Short version: Ideally I would like to connect multiple devices to a pair of Bluetooh (or other wireless) Headphones. How can I manage this without loosing a lot of quality.
Thanks in advance.
