yeah you'll get some money back on those for sure

#

and OH YEAH

#

I REMEMBER NOW

west hornet
#

Big improvement over apple earbuds

hazy fiber
#

Anything is lol

amber oracle
#

i beg to differ on that @hazy fiber

west hornet
#

The apple hurt my ears, I thought I was tearing up Sick

amber oracle
#

i think just about all stock android earbuds would like a word with you :P

west hornet
#

And ye it can be a lot worse lol, I mean the apple cheap anyway

hazy fiber
#

I never said they were good, but even some $15 Skullcandy ones are significantly better

west hornet
#

Oh that remind me my dad use speaker for phone sometimes and it pain me, the sound is bad sure but there is also a rattling as if something is hitting the driver

hazy fiber
#

If they came with your phone they likely aren't great lol

tacit wing
#

i havent used any stock phone earphones bc the last two phones i got were refurbished that didn't came with anything

#

i actually cant remember the last time i put on some in-ears

brisk parcel
#

I can

#

today

#

lmao

west hornet
#

Last week

hazy fiber
#

I used to use skullcandy everything. Then I got into Shure

#

1more quads, still super good after 2 years, even though I love my 58Xs the 1mores always have a place in my heart as my first real piece of audiophile gear

hazy fiber
#

My first were the 535s, but I use them with bluetooth...

#

So I'm gonna keep it simple... one pair of Sony WHXM4, one truly wireless, one 6XX 🙂

brisk parcel
#

you say that now

#

just you wait

hazy fiber
#

True lol

brisk parcel
#

I do encourage you to give the 1more quads a try sometime, they're still pretty interesting

hazy fiber
#

I'll want to upgrade next refresh of Sony's

#

I will try em if I come across them

brisk parcel
#

not a bad plan man

#

if you ever need any recommendations just ask, part of drowning away the pain is filling the void with the passion and love I have for other things and people ❤️

Can anybody here help me with some audio stuff?

#

Can anybody here help me with some audio stuff?
@jade laurel @brisk parcel

brisk parcel
#

@jade laurel I'm in a rocket league tourney atm, but in a few here I should be good, maybe an hour max?

#

but go ahead ask your questions and stiff

#

stuff*

jade laurel
#

i cant decide if buying a schiit stack (Magni 3+, and Modi 3) is worth the upgrade from just having my gaming headset (cloud flight) . Is the upgrade of adding a dac/amp that big of a difference?

#

np answer whenever you can just ping me

#

i appreciate the help though

tacit wing
#

arent the cloud flights wireless?

jade laurel
#

yes they are

#

i would be buying a hd 58x, 6xx or Dan Clark Aeon open x to pair with the stack

#

btw*

tacit wing
#

oooo nice

#

i pulled the trigger on the 58x the other day

#

and i have a budget interface, i was told it would be adequate enough to drive 150 ohms

#

but the 6xx is kinda demanding. no problem for the Schiit Stack though

jade laurel
#

i have the website open right now with info filled out, last step to click checkout but i just cant decide if getting a dac/amp is worth and if the 58x vs the 6xx is also worth?

#

and then even the aeon open flow vs whichever is better with the 6xx, 58x

#

im unfortunately going down a rabbit hole with audio

#

so i need help lol

tacit wing
#

you'd definitely want a dac+amp to get the most out of these cans for sure

#

granted the 58x is easy to drive, you can probably get away with onboard audio in your mobo but youre for sure gonna get alot of interference

#

not recommended

#

if you go 6xx, a dac+amp is a must. i think those have an impedance of 300 ohms

jade laurel
#

is the audio quality a big difference from my cheap wireless flights though?

#

and can a noobie like me tell that difference?

tacit wing
#

the transition from closed to open-backs, its night and day

#

well idk what the Flights sounds like but i can tell you that i used to use gaming headsets, and then i bought a closed back M40X. never bought a gaming headset since

#

also having a dedicated dac+amp outside your system instead of using the onboard audio on your mobo. massive difference

hazy fiber
#

if you ever need any recommendations just ask, part of drowning away the pain is filling the void with the passion and love I have for other things and people ❤️
@brisk parcel ay, spot on, depression gang. Will do :)

copper dock
#

hey is the razer viper ultimate worth it

last plinth
#

Is there any comfy headphones with surround sound

#

like cheap tho

#

Under 130

tacit wing
#

Is there any comfy headphones with surround sound
@last plinth surround sound in headphones won't do much for you. stereo will always be the way to go. if you want a wide sound-stage that kind of mimics surround sound look into open-back headphones

#

hey is the razer viper ultimate worth it
@copper dock if wireless is like your very first priority it is very worth it. its arguably the only mouse that holds a candle to the G Pro Wireless

#

although ive seen some folks on here having charging issues with the dock

#

also the shape of the Viper is very biased towards fingertip grip. it has barely a hump for claw grip users

last plinth
#

@tacit wing Imma be playing fps and sound really matters

tacit wing
#

@tacit wing Imma be playing fps and sound really matters
@last plinth i play CSGO and i main a set of headphones or set an EQ that emphasize treble for footsteps

last plinth
#

hmm

tacit wing
#

but in terms of directional sound, surround-sound in headphones are mostly marketing BS. surround sound are mostly used in living room theater setups

last plinth
#

is there really no 5.1 surround sound headphones that are comfy

#

I want directional sound

tacit wing
#

you will have directional sound in any stereo headphones that arent surround-sound lol

last plinth
#

Really

tacit wing
#

pro players dont have surround sound headphones

#

fortnite pros

#

csgo pros

last plinth
#

Fortnite

tacit wing
#

whatever pros

#

they are all stereo lol

last plinth
#

no

#

Shroud has g pro x

#

Headphone

tacit wing
#

lol

last plinth
#

lol

#

not tryna sound like a fanboy

#

i just want 5.1 surround sound

#

Or 7.1

#

Pls

tacit wing
#

i mean i guess thats ur answer

last plinth
#

G pro x?

tacit wing
#

but pls be aware of sponsored streamers

#

but given that you are a Shroud fan youd be very happy with your purchase

last plinth
#

no ik shrouds sponsored

#

But he uses it alot

#

and its like

#

trusted

#

but i dont wanna spend 200$

tacit wing
#

lmao influencers will use whatever they are sponsored with it doesnt matter

last plinth
#

yea

#

i need help

tacit wing
#

Shroud used the Cloud Flights when he was still in C9

last plinth
#

wow

#

waot

tacit wing
#

doesnt mean its the best headphone you can get

last plinth
#

i want ckmfy headphones

#

Comfy

#

woth 5.1 surround sound

#

Can u find one

tacit wing
#

i promise you, you dont need surround sound

#

but the Cloud Alpha S is a choice if you insist

last plinth
#

ok

tacit wing
#

i promise you its marketing mumbo jumbo, surround sound is useless when its limited to two drivers in both ears lol

#

surround sound is mostly used in settings where there are multiple drivers/speakers firing at you from different angles. just like in the movie theater or home theater set-up

#

but in a headphone scenario, where theres only two drivers firing to both of your ears, its not a very viable application

last plinth
#

omg

#

thank u

#

I watched linus vid

#

And he said hes

#

It is bs

tacit wing
last plinth
#

so me get shp9500

#

stereo

tacit wing
#

THERE WE GO

#

very good choice

last plinth
#

and then download dolby atmos

#

if i need fit

#

For surround sound

#

PogU saved

#

u think its good

tacit wing
#

pls dont tell me youve been trolling me this whole time

#

nooo way

last plinth
#

im not trolling

#

So this is good

tacit wing
#

yes. thats like the perfect starter cans for open-back

last plinth
#

Is there a better one

tacit wing
#

u will notice a massive difference compared to what youre using now if ur using closed

#

well yeah there are better ones but i think its best to start off with that for now

last plinth
#

this is like the only time i get to buy this

#

130$ budget

tacit wing
#

also do u have a headphone amp?

last plinth
#

Pref under 100

#

No i dont

tacit wing
#

what are your headphones currently?

last plinth
#

Some off brand “gaming headset”

#

Lemme see

tacit wing
#

how is it connected to your rig?

tacit wing
#

if you have a little bit of money to burn id suggest investing in a dac+amp to pair with your SHP9500, but those are relatively easy to drive so you should have no problems hooking those up to ur system like you did with your current headphones

last plinth
#

That vid is

#

but i understand it

#

im fine with my mobo things right

tacit wing
#

yes your fine with onboard audio on your mobo

last plinth
#

okie

tacit wing
#

but you may find some interference. if you cant tell on your current headphones right now then i doubt that youll find any

last plinth
#

ok

#

My current headphones had some issues

tacit wing
#

of what?

last plinth
#

it playbacked ingame audio thru my mic

#

and my mic made crackling noises

tacit wing
#

are your audio drivers updated?

#

that is most likely interferance but it could be just a sh**ty mic as well

last plinth
#

yea

#

My mic was bad

#

30$ headset

tacit wing
#

o shoot you know what

#

the SHP9500 doesnt have a mic

last plinth
#

yea ik

tacit wing
#

do u need one?

last plinth
#

im not that stupid

#

i already have one

#

or one im gonna buy

#

I mean

tacit wing
#

is it like a USB mic?

last plinth
tacit wing
#

pog

last plinth
#

its good?

tacit wing
#

do u already have one or planning to buy one

last plinth
#

planning to buy

tacit wing
#

yes ive heard nothing but great reviews

last plinth
#

The only thing im scared of is the mic arm

#

Feel like theres gonna be problems

tacit wing
#

does elgato sell mic arms for the Waves?

last plinth
#

nope

#

I dont think so at least

tacit wing
#

that little black box is an audio interface that has a built in dac+amp

#

i heavily recommend something like that to pair with your SHP900

#

granted, its not required to power it but it can reduce interferance

last plinth
#

hmmmmmmmmmm

tacit wing
#

also you can do an XLR mic setup instead of USB

last plinth
#

Linking pls

#

the tings

tacit wing
#

if youre for sure getting that Elgato mic then an audio interface really isnt for you

last plinth
#

i think i get m40x

tacit wing
#

because its USB

last plinth
#

oh

#

well i want it to sound good

#

And a had a old condenser mic

tacit wing
#

Elgato Wave sounds good

last plinth
#

sounded like poop sometimes

tacit wing
#

lol

last plinth
#

like it would go ear explosion

tacit wing
#

if you are getting an M40x i suggest changing out the earpads because the stock ones are not very good

last plinth
#

and that was my first kick from a discord server

#

ok

tacit wing
#

but since you want that "surround-sound" feel, id say just stick with the Phillips

#

those are open backs

#

wider sound stage

last plinth
#

ok

#

now

#

I just want it to sound relatively good

#

the mic

#

Like

#

Not extremely bad

#

Also imma be streaming aswell

tacit wing
#

Elgato Waves are solid

#

you can also go XLR as well if you choose to get an interface

last plinth
#

Does xlr sound the same as elgaro

tacit wing
#

well it depends on the mic

#

but for streaming, waves are perfect

last plinth
#

Ok

#

Wait what even is xlr

last plinth
#

oh

#

ok

#

So

#

so is getting a dac+amp

#

good

#

Or not worth

tacit wing
#

yes

#

very worth it so you can drive high impedance cans

#

did u even watch the video i sent you lol

last plinth
#

Yea

#

Lowk too sleeper tho

#

i jjst watched the dac and amp meaning

#

Which one do i get

tacit wing
#

u have the attention span of a housefly

last plinth
#

lol

#

True ig

#

which do i get

tacit wing
#

look man to make things simpler for you just get an elgato wave and a hyperx cloud alpha

last plinth
#

no

tacit wing
#

why not

last plinth
#

me want to listen

#

me interested now

tacit wing
#

listen to the video he explains things better than i do

#

but for now get the Philips and the Elgato

last plinth
#

just tell me which one to get

#

the amp+dac

#

I want one where its 2 of them combined

tacit wing
#

ahhh i personally dont know any good ones ive only used audio interfaces

#

Zeos recommends these

last plinth
#

wait

#

i just want audio interfaces then

tacit wing
#

u dont need one unless youre going XLR as well

#

the Elgatos arent

last plinth
#

Wait then wont it be

#

crackly

tacit wing
#

if youre going XLR i recommend the Focusrite Scarletts and the Evo 4

#

the Evo 4 is a really smart interface, perfect for beginners

#

for the mic, unless youre in a sound treated room, go Dynamic mics most definitely

last plinth
#

sound treated room?

#

wat

tacit wing
#

is your room relatively silent?

last plinth
#

like people screaming in the background, etc

#

yea

#

If i close my door

tacit wing
#

i guess ur fine with either way it doesnt matter

#

go condenser or dynamic, but mostly leaning towards dynamic

last plinth
#

recommend

tacit wing
#

Rode Podmic is nice, thats the mic i have my eyes on right now

#

or the Procaster but its $$$

last plinth
#

Sale for 230 rn

tacit wing
#

thats not on sale thats standard price

#

msrp

#

go with the Podmic instead for starters

#

its less daunting

last plinth
#

Me want good mic for stream

#

@tacit wing

#

I think i just get shp 9500

#

And wave 1

#

but recommend a good arm

#

and anything else i might need

tacit wing
#

do research

#

idk anything about that Elgato

last plinth
#

This compatible?

#

nvm

#

ty dude

brisk parcel
#

@jade laurel SO SORRY MAN

#

I wasn't done with my tourney til like 2:30 am

#

now about everything you said, for sure snag that schiit stack

#

and headphones-wise, are you looking to game out of them as well or mostly music?

#

@last plinth I can help you out too man if you'd like! I see you're looking at the SHP 9500s, very good choice! if you would like any other open-back recommendations just let me know ❤️ 😄

#

now @jade laurel in terms of the headphones, the aeon open 2s, the TWOS NOT THE FIRST ONE, are better than the 6XX in bass extension and highs, also on imaging. the 6XX are better than the aeos 2s in clarity, soundstage, and have an overall warmer feeling. the 58X are better than the aeon 2s in imaging, like these things are crazy good at it. soundstage is a tiny bit closer but much more accurate IMO

#

the aeon therefore is worse than either of the two, but better in some areas depending on what can you compare them to

brisk parcel
#

tbh, go with the 6XX or 58X, and get yourself a nice tube amp instead of the schiit modi

#

like the vali 2, but personally for an extra $20 a littledot mk2 is WAY better

#

@hazy fiber take notes^

#

plus it has more tubes which means more cooler

hazy fiber
#

I already ordered my magni and that dac I tagged you about, but I will keep that in mind for the future

#

I do liquidation lots in my free time and might get the chance to try some :)

brisk parcel
#

ooooh

#

yes please do

#

tbh I think i'm gonna do that, get a modi 3 and the littledot mk 2 and then roll some new tubes

brisk parcel
#

yeah for sure getting the modi 3, picking up the LD MK2, and probably some riverstone GE JAN 5654W driver tubes

#

might get some mullard CV401s though not sure, haven't found them yet

last plinth
#

@brisk parcel imma be playing games so i want good sound quality im also gonna do some editing aswell

#

i want something close to surround sound

brisk parcel
#

okay so like everyone else said, headphones with good imagine are better than any surround you can ever get from a crappy gaming "7.1" can

#

the SHP9500s are a great choice for that, they have fantastic imaging

last plinth
#

ok

#

the elgato wave 1 is fine aswell right

brisk parcel
#

is that for your mic?

#

ok yeah

#

should be fine

#

personally elgato is nice but a little overpriced

jade laurel
#

@brisk parcel I’m looking to mainly game but music on the side. I was talking about the Aeon open x not the twos

tacit wing
brisk parcel
#

@jade laurel yeah I gotcha

#

was just throwing it in there for comparison

#

so tbh, aeon open x aren't worth it for the price

#

neither is the sound they produce

tacit wing
#

wtf

#

same price as a 660s PES_Yikes

tight pulsar
#

would 58x's be fine to drive without a amp?

last plinth
#

Should i get a ups

timid hound
#

?

#

ups?

last plinth
#

ups surge protector

timid hound
#

oh, no idea what that is

west hornet
#

58x is a bit easier to drive with phone than something like 6xx

tight pulsar
#

so they would be fine without a amp

white talon
#

Y'all talking about Sennheisers 👀

tacit wing
#

nice schiit

white talon
#

Yeah it's a big schiit to

tight pulsar
#

tube

white talon
#

Got these coming in this week for my m50x

tacit wing
#

nice i got the prostock ones on my M40x

white talon
#

I was looking at prostock but I don't like my ears touching the drivers and my ears touching the inside rim of the pad

#

Reason why I got the oval pads

tacit wing
#

i actually misordered i wanted the oval ones

white talon
#

Prostock is the closet to the original sound though. But oval does the highs better and low end

#

Atleast that's what I was told

tacit wing
#

i love my M40's but i dont think ill touch these cans again once my 58x comes in the mail

white talon
#

You still will

tacit wing
#

you reckon?

white talon
#

😂😂

#

I use all of them

tacit wing
#

nice lil collection u got there

white talon
#

All for different purposes

tacit wing
#

im afraid i already entered the blackhole of audiophile equipment when i hit the order button on the 58x's

#

are those bluetooth headphones?

white talon
#

Nah you definitely haven't 😂

#

And yes whxb900ns

#

I got the hardshell case off Amazon

#

If you want your Sennheisers to sign get a small tube amp

#

Shine*

tacit wing
#

what about a schiit stack?

white talon
#

That would be good as well

#

But Sennheisers love tubes

tacit wing
#

the thing is i wanted to upgrade my XLR mic setup and upgrade my audio interface and hook my cans to that instead, but ive been told to get tube amps instead to make the most out of it

white talon
#

Yep

#

I'm done with getting new headphones for right now

#

Next pair are gonna be planar magnetics

tacit wing
#

what is the noticeable difference with tube amps?

white talon
#

They are warmer and give the mids a really loving warmth

#

There's other reasons too but all based off what tubes/amp you get

tacit wing
#

with the tube amps your pair with a Schiit Modi?

#

damnit this channel is a blackhole for money aPES_Leave

white talon
#

Yep got the modi 3 and Valhalla 2 amp for $300 together

last plinth
#

any other mic recommendations

white talon
#

Get a usb mic

last plinth
#

Was gonna get wave 1 but someome said its overpriced

white talon
#

It is

last plinth
#

then what

#

do i get

tacit wing
#

im XLR gang

white talon
#

Do you need all the fancy gimmick stuff or no

last plinth
#

just a arm

#

Pop filter

#

And mic

#

probaly

tacit wing
#

i think audio endgame for me is a procaster+cloudlifter to an Audient Evo4 and 58x with the tube schiit stack

thats why we buying mice

All for different purposes
@white talon Which gen are those?

white talon

Which ones?

hazy fiber
#

The Sony's you sent a picture of

white talon
#

Gen 2. Not the brand new ones

hazy fiber
#

Ah. Still solid, I didn't recognize the case so I figured it was older 🙂

#

I've only tried gen 3 & 4

white talon
#

I got the case off Amazon. Whxb900ns don't come with a hardshell

hazy fiber

Oh, so they aren't WH1000XM2s?

tacit wing

Sony needs to put some variation in their design lol

Nope

Completely different headphones

It's not hard to tell between xm series

i used before da i like his shape

yup according to Chinese leaks its like around 60g

omg i just buy this 😄

hyped again ?

tacit wing

yeah Razer's back to the drawing board after this release

primal ridge

i think viper ultimate have best shape of razer products

tacit wing

Viper is biased heavily towards fingertip

it barely has a hump at all for claw user

Viper Ult or GPW size is perfect

does ur hand cramp up while using it?

brisk parcel
#

@white talon indeed we were talking sennheisers

#

I'm picking up a modi 3 and LD mk 2 with some CV4015/M8161 mullard tubes

#

already bought the tubes in case they got out of stock

#

waiting for prime day to see if I can get a deal on the DAC and AMP

#

I use 58Xs btw since I game as well

#

and a heavy amount

white talon
#

I use all my headphones for gaming 😂

brisk parcel
#

but I did mod them, I removed the foam over the grille on the back of the earcups and I removed the paper over the driver

#

sound almost identical to 660S

#

and yeah I figured lmao

white talon
#

But I mean honestly I can't wait to get some planars though. And than a SS amp

tacit wing
#

doing that paper mod seems pretty daunting

#

the foam looks easy though

brisk parcel
#

foam is easy peasy

#

paper is just about removing stuff

#

look up a teardown and you can find how to do it

white talon
#

It's not hard

copper dock
#

Is the model o wireless worth waiting for?

tacit wing
#

Is the model o wireless worth waiting for?
@copper dock if you are used to and familiar with the shape, go ahead but i suggest waiting for the reviews

#

glorious make great mice but theyre unproven in wireless still

#

also Model O is an FK clone so it barely has a hump for Claw, very optimized for Fingertip

tight pulsar
#

its worth waiting for if you want the model o but dont want a wired mouse :p

How are audiothechnica headphones vs other brands like steel series or Logitech?

How are audiothechnica headphones vs other brands like steel series or Logitech?
@river relic i got an m40x and never bought a "gaming" headset ever again

@river relic the down side of not getting a gaming headset is that youre probably gonna get a seperate microphone that is, if you use a mic

river relic
#

Yeah I probably will end up getting one for the quality since they sell so many now

hazy fiber
#

I've tried HyperX Clouds and they kinda crap compared to ATH-M40x

last plinth
#

i want something like the elgato wave 1 but sounds good

#

The option that someone gave me didnt have sound tests on yt

#

So i was a lil sketched out

cunning hearth
#

Good gaming headset with a decent mic that isnt too expensive?

west hornet
#

podcastage is good source of mic reviews, zreviews for headphones

#

also interesting night, ive never tried the hyperx but i could believe it lol

tacit wing
cunning hearth
#

Wut they dont got a mic

tacit wing
#

Wut they dont got a mic
@cunning hearth naw it do

#

HyperX Cloud Alphas the go-to gaming headsets i recommend

#

and its not crazy expensive

I currently have the HyperX Cloud II, is it worth an upgrade or nah? Feel like the sound is lacking slightly in games

@waxen hare you ever consider open-back headphones?

#

just upgrading your cans to the premium model wouldnt really change much im afraid

waxen hare
#

Never used open-back headphones so not really sure on what the difference is

last plinth
#

I think i get hyperx quadcast

#

Any reasons why i shouldnt?

daring zenith
#

Audiophile's incoming

last plinth
#

I think its good cuz i can change polar patterns

#

and make some noises

hazy fiber
#

Open backed headphones are on a different level

#

But they aren't very practical outside of an office or somewhat noise isolated area

last plinth
#

Is hyperx quadcast good or no

#

I think if i get them it will be very funny

west hornet
#

err

hazy fiber
#

I haven't tried that mic, idk

west hornet
#

the quadcast is very meh on all polar patterns

last plinth
#

like ill turn on polar pattern to left and right

west hornet
#

bad for money

last plinth
#

and sing

#

Then what u think is cool

west hornet
#

the only polar pattern you need is cardioid, also if for some vc like discord, they downmix to mono, so no left and right sound

last plinth
#

Okie

#

so what to get

west hornet
#

near the price elgato wave, blue yeti nano decent, for cheaper samson q2u(which picks up less bg noise)

tacit wing
#

Never used open-back headphones so not really sure on what the difference is
@waxen hare i recommend watching Hardware Canucks video about that topic, he explains it very well

last plinth
#

Then should i just get wave 1

west hornet
#

best usb mic for price

last plinth
#

Question tho do i buy the shock mount and pop filter with it for an additional 70$

west hornet
#

if you want, shock mount can minimize desk bumps and keyboard hits

tight pulsar
#

or just dont hit ur keyboard

last plinth
#

But im getting a arm with it

#

And it comes with pop filter

#

so

#

But ones cooler than the other

west hornet
#

then maybe it fine, idk really how it is with arm it bumps are annoying

last plinth
#

im def getting shock filter

#

I might slam

thing actually works lmao

tacit wing
west hornet
#

Not sure, but from the looks of it, a signal switcher. Switching the signal heard in the headphones from one amp on the left to the other on the right

#

would be useful for comparing things like amps

tacit wing
#

i didnt know such a device exists

Is there something like shp9500

Wait over ear covers ear right

@tacit wing yeah its a expensive asf switch
@white talon what tube amps u recommend for a pair of 58x's

white talon
#

i mean darkvoice, valhalla 2 tube amp, and others

#

smsl t2 is another

#

all depends on how much power you watn

white talon
#

@tacit wing

last plinth
#

Would this give me surround sound

#

just checking

west hornet
#

The only thing that would give you surround sound is at least 4 or 5 speakers surrounding you

#

all that surround stuff in headphones is just gimmick

last plinth
#

Really

#

imma just get the hyperx cloud 2

#

Replace the earpads with the ones that come in the box

#

Ez clap

#

feel like theres more value

#

And ill just take off the mic

#

And use elgato

tacit wing

all that surround stuff in headphones is just gimmick
@west hornet we had this conversation last night and he wouldnt listen 🤦🏾😂

west hornet
#

I have this conversation a lot

tacit wing
#

the marketing team behind gaming peripherals sure earned their wages

west hornet
#

from my experience, my stereo headphones have better “positional” audio than any surround headphone or headset ive used

last plinth
#

yea dud

#

I wanna listen to u guys

#

but idk

#

ill just get hyperx cloud 2

tacit wing
#

also directional sound greatly depends on the game itself. Apex Legends sound is notoriously bad lol

last plinth
#

Cuz it had the usb sound card

tacit wing
#

theres no verticality in sound in that game

last plinth
#

And replacable pads that come with it

#

so

#

ya

#

Nvm i get cloud alpha s

tacit wing
#

the normal Alphas a better value imo

#

not the Alpha S

#

for under 100 u get alot of headset with the regular Alpha

last plinth
#

ill see

#

Doesnt come with ear pads

#

recommend ear pads?

tacit wing
#

Brainwavz Ovals

it sure do come with earpdas

what kinda manufacturer sell u headphones with no pads

I'm looking for a gaming headset with a usb connection, a boom mic. For under 100 or so

I had the Sennheiser 636 or 363 I forget what it is but I stepped on the boom mic and had to toss them

why usb

old root

I've been looking at hyperx but all they have are 3.5 optical

I don't like having the cable attached to the bottom of my PlayStation controller, and also I don't want wireless

For when I play on PC

Not optical.

#

I don’t know much about good and bad routers so I’ll let someone else take the q, but it’d probably help if they knew your budget and how quick your internet is to find a router suitable for your needs

daring zenith
#

@hasty apex I mean you can just stroll around here. For the wifi standards, you'd be looking for :
802.11 N if your internet is crap and would not sustain 50MB/s, AC if your internet sustains less than 150 MB/s, AX (also called wifi 6), if your internet sustain more.
https://www.newegg.com/Wireless-Routers/SubCategory/ID-145

#

Using an ac router for 10MB/s connection works just fine, but usually worse standards is cheaper

hasty apex
#

IIRC my net is either 100M/up or 200M/up

#

Ita pretty good for Charter

daring zenith
#

So look for an AC router, and depending on budget AX

#

keep in mind, I'm talking Megabytes per second(MB/s), not megabits per second(mbps).

hasty apex
#

Yeah.

#

My PC is hardwired. I just need something to Link all my other stuffs. (Phone, Chrome cast, Printer. Etc)

#

Charter wants to charge me $50 for one. So I figured I might as well pony up and buy a proper one

daring zenith
#

I'm not familiar with the router market, so just stroll around until you find one that looks good to you :)

how's a g pro wired

wow a 3389 in a mouse thats only 35 bucks

if youre looking at a g pro wired just get a g203 or g102

If you don't mind refurb, look for a last gen dark core rgb too. Love that mouse
