I not sure if I'm doing something wrong but if I put the G6 in direct mode do I lose voice chat?

Thank you appreciate it! Yea I have the G6 but I was wondering if Atoms is better since I hear people talking about it. I have been eyeing the Schiit Hel but I know it doesnt have VSS, so it seems G6 is still best all in one.

I was wondering is Dolby Atoms superior to sound blaster G6 VSS? this is just for comp gaming related.

I can say the AKG 702 with sound blaster G6 are really good for Apex and COD MW.

Not sure if your PC settings, are you in 7.1? Make sure you also go into sound control panel on your PC and you go through configuration setting and it's in 7.1 and all speakers have a check mark. Also in sound control panel go to properties, advance and its 32 bit, 96 hz. In sound blaster me...

Hi, I had the same issue with setting the surround options so high on certain headphones things would sound so far and spacious that it made it hard to hear footsteps especially with something like the AD700X that already has a big sound stage, So I dialed mine back to like 10 or even 5. For eq...

Hyperx headsets are a pretty good staple in "gaming headsets" and the "hyperx cloud orbits" are base on Audeze mobius(posted a link below) which are suppose to be a good audio brand. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in because I'm also looking to upgrade for gaming purposes only...

I currently have the G5 but I was looking to upgrade. Is the G6 worth getting if I have G5 already? Or mayb another recommendation for upgrade? I only will use it for competitive fps gaming. I have a pair of akg k7xx.

Thank you for your input. I guess ill hold off on the Schiit Audio Hel and stick with the Sound Blaster G5.

Does anyone have any input on this? "Schiit Audio Hel" for gaming on pc vs others? looking for the best sound-whoring competitive audio setup. Also does anyone have or know where to get a good EQ settings for footsteps? https://www.schiit.com/products/hel

Thank you for your reply, so for competitive gaming the original K702 will be best choice?

Sorry if this has been asked but is the AKG k702 the same as Massdrop AKG k7XX for competitive gaming?

Thanks for the update. yea I have noticed with the recent update how superior the K7XX really are for gaming. I really wish I could still try the HD 58X tho because I do like the way they look and hear good things, but since the update I find myself content with the K7XX and would be quite upset...
