Hi all,
First off I've read through Mad Lust Envy's recommendations but I thought I'd seek some extra guidance.
I'm looking for a headset and I'm coming from a set of Hyper X Cloud Alphas but I just feel that they are not what I'm looking for. I have trouble positioning people and I feel that things such as footsteps get muddied behind excessive bass and very loud/sharp gunfights. So for me soundstage and imaging are fairly high up on my list of things needed.
Requirements:
- Can connect it to my Xbox One with a Modmic attached
- Maximum of $200
- Prefer closed back since noise isolation is important to me (sound leaking in from family and out), okay with open back but would enjoy some bass to really feel explosions and such (DT 770s seem the best for this but for a gaming competitively on these I've heard is not great)
- Could possibly work with the Astro Mixamp or any other mixamp that can connect to my Xbox
Does anyone have experience with the Cloud Alphas vs something like the DT 770s?
