Best Gaming Headphones.... With Poll? BUDGET: £100-£250 - Page 21

Out of curiosity, why no psyko audio?  I'd think that directional waveguide headphones would fit the bill precisely where gaming is concerned.

Have you tried any of the above in the poll with the Astro Mixamp? That's why.

Because it is not on the polls and because lots of people have a crazy phobia against multiple drivers headset.

Probably because the cons outweigh the pros. They sound like **** compared to a great stereo headphone with virtual surround. But I'm not gonna start debating it with you AGAIN.

Whoa! Okay! Okay!  I had read generally positive reviews about them when they came out, admittedly on gaming websites.  I didn't realize that they sounded that bad.

Don't say they sound bad before you try it yourself.

At $299, I'm not going to try them with an endorsement like this:

I thought you were talking about 5.1 multi drivers generaly.

I really like shooters and positioning is what is important in games - not how detailed and crisp are the sounds during a gunfight or how controlled and punchy is the bass of the exploding granades. I just reaaly like the accuracy the Razer ones have and the soundstage is awesome

Have you read this thread at all? Your multiple drivers opinion is a minority here; have you tried the Mixamp/DSS/etc at all?

EDIT: Actually... You realize Razer's headsets are stereo with virtual surround and not actual 5.1/7.1 with multiple drivers? What was that you said again?

Sorry, but you just got owned... by yourself.

I'm sorry but you are wrong again...

Razer megalodon has virtual surround, but razer barracuda is a multiple drivers headset.

IT is really close to turtle beach hpa2. Some peolple believe it is sourced from same OEM.

All you care about is "being right" and getting the last word.

I am trying to contribute and help the community. I'm done with you, on the ignore list you go.
