QPAD 1339

Beyerdynamic MMX-300. It's basically a Beyerdynamic DT770 with a mic, so you can't go wrong with them.

300+ euros +shipping

right ...

Have you ever tried an audiophile headphones ? I guess not.

Holy hell. I can understand maybe 200, but 350 is a bit out of my price range.

Too bad because it's by far the best headset on the market (sound, the most comfy, and great isolation)

You can go headphones + external mic which is not a bad idea because you have a larger range of products.

External mics are pretty good, because a lot of good headphones don't have +mic versions. That, and a standalone mic has a lot more potential to be awesome.

That shit only matters if you're crazy, though :P

I've had the same quandary for nearly a month and still haven't decided. You might read this review and be able to accept or dismiss a few options. Personally, I'm holding off for a while to see if anything better comes along with the new year.

I've tried some of these in stores and they just sound horrible. The Turtle Beach headsets sound absolutely awful. I've heard good things about Steelseries headsets, particularly the Siberia V2s and 7Hs, but everything is so mixed up without any consistently good reviews across the board that I can't figure out who to trust.

This is stupid >:(

I know the feeling. That's why I've been holding off so long.

Well, I have 5Hv2s and love them.. They're super comfy, closed cup, the mic extending from the earpiece is handy, and the cable is nice and long with the extension. I also like the sound, in contrast to others' opinions.

However, they're not my first pair - The cable has broken around the connections on more than one pair, and the mic on a set of them twisted itself away so much that it couldn't pic me up at an audible level unless I held it.

I presume the 7Hs are just a better 5Hv2, so.

tried Siberia v2, Have atm 7H USB,ATH-AD700 and had x3 5Hv2 USB in total.

Overall Sound quality - Siberia v2.

Most bass - Siberia v2.

Most clean/cality sound - 5Hv2 | AD700.

Most comfortable - 5Hv2 | AD700. (depens on user TBH)

5Hv2 is quite trebelish sounding and have midrate soundstage as far as I remember.
Siberia v2 are close so bass is very noticeable and soundstage feels quite choked for me but you can still feel it and its preciseness.
7H are very balanced sound wise (actully, most balanced sound of steelseries headsets), soundstage is low to midrate too, you can feel the bass tho.

All the microphones of steelseries are very good and calrify, just remember to not set the "analog output" setting in your sound-card to higher than 44.1Khz beacause it will give your microphone static noises, it might be beacause of the bugged driver of steelseries.

Btw, the chipest (AKA DSP) in steelseries sound-card is a low-end C-Media that costs like 10-20usd, I didn't know that untill I opened it up.


If I were you, I would save up for a beyerdynamic DT770 pro, never tried but here that its the best.
Dont go to the qpad/beyer headset, I prefer get myself second-hand car in almost that price, but thats a preferences TBH.

Decisions. Hum.

Ended up getting the Audio Technica A900s. Definitely a worthwhile investment. I just don't trust the mixed reviews of all the gaming headsets, and they got much better reviews on comfort than any of the sennheiser headsets. Totally happy with my purchase.

Razer Tiamat coming out in January, but knowing Razer headsets...I think I'm going to end up trying out the Siberia v2.

I would say save money!
You might wanna buy something nice in future!
SS 7H will be good choice in gaming.
SS Siberia will be nice too!
