Try Corsair 1500 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_1173&products_id=25569

does it blow the logitech z523?

i7Baby · Aug 6, 2014

Yes - and swallows

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

how about logitech g430?who is better

i7Baby · Aug 6, 2014

It's OK. But not as good.

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

but i think they are the same can you check again please because i can get discount for logitech g430

i7Baby · Aug 6, 2014

I just checked. The Corsair are better.

Look at reviews.

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

but look the microphone on logitech g430 is better right?and corsair vengeace 1500 v2 online has bigger driver!

It really depends on your budget, but have a look at this list: http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-update-7-9-2014-ultrasone-hfi-15g-added
Get one of the good headphones, with an external mic (v-moda sells a great mic with a cable, so you just replace the cable on the headphones where you can), and it will be better than those two options.

OMG THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE, I'M NOT DJ TO USE THEM

Ytyoussef · Aug 6, 2014

There are different price tiers, of course tier A is going to be expensive, have a look at the headphones in the tier that fits your budget. And what is your budget anyway?

i7Baby · Aug 6, 2014

Bigger drivers are better - better bass response.

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

70$~150$ something like that

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

another question are they noise canceling headphones?

i7Baby · Aug 6, 2014

As I said - look at reviews eg http://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-vengeance-1500-v2-gaming-headset-review_131162

For competitive gaming, http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-AD700X-Audiophile-Open-Air-Headphones/dp/B009S332TQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1385979471&sr=1-2&keywords=ad700 would be your best option. For a nice overall experience while being cheaper, you can get this http://www.amazon.com/Creative-EF0060-Aurvana-Live-Headphones/dp/B000ZJZ7OA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346741568&sr=1-1&keywords=creative+aurvana+live . Just pair them with something like this: http://www.modmic.com/

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

Ohh i forgot to tell you guys i got sms audio street!! are they good? what is the specifications and how can i get them a mic!?

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

@YTyoussef Are they surrounded headphones?

Ytyoussef · Aug 6, 2014

They should be good enough, the bass is nice, but there isn't as much detail as the AD700X that I listed above for example. You can just get this mic: http://v-moda.com/boompro-microphone/ and plug it in. No need to buy new headphones.

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

you have recommended me akg headphones so how about akg q701?i can buy them(good price), and why are they a lot cheaper than k712?i've checked the specifications and they are the same

Ytyoussef · Aug 6, 2014

Yazan Zaid :

In the guide I listed, they show you what virtual surround can do. They will sound better for music than any gaming headphones, and will work just as well if not better for gaming.

Ytyoussef · Aug 6, 2014

They are great, for gaming and music. This would be your best option, as they usually sell for $250 from what I recall. Look at the musical performance as well: http://www.whathifi.com/akg/q701/review

Yazan Zaid · Aug 6, 2014

you know what i'm going to spend the money on mouse and keyboard
i got sms audio headphones and that's so great i'm just going to buy mic for it any recommendation?

Ytyoussef · Aug 6, 2014

I told you that in one of my last posts ^^ : "They should be good enough, the bass is nice, but there isn't as much detail as the AD700X that I listed above for example. You can just get this mic: http://v-moda.com/boompro-microphone/ and plug it in. No need to buy new headphones." With the mic recommendation and everything.
