logitech g930 vs steelseries siberia v2
Which do you think is better. The reason the prices are low is because I don't have money and I need to know what headset is better. I want to be able to hear sounds decently but my main concern is the microphone. It cant have any static what so ever and no echo from the speakers. I need the microphone for recording purposes.

I think that captures it accurately. There is static at the start because the mic's sensitivity was upped so you can hear him when his mouth is not hear the mic. Unless you are recording in that way, you're better off with a standalone mic stand instead of a headset.

You can't even see how they tested it. The headset shown was clearly not on during that recording and more evidently, you can still hear sound after he pulled out the mic. So you can't conclude with that.


Well if you could send me an audio sample of yours or someone elses video than that would help. Also tell me the benefits of this mic over the other 2.

Can you link me to some of those reviews? I own that headset and I have no issues gaming with them and others hear me fine without static. Maybe someone up the sensitivity on their recording?

But Audacity is a great tool. It can easily clear most of that up if you want to up the sensitivity on an external mic.

The Kingston HyperX Cloud is better and cheaper.


I looked at a couple of mic tests for that and it appears to have some static and I really just want clear or barely audible static.
