I would like to show my appreciation for the JH13pro. Amazing product. Best audio purchase I ever made. Thanks to head-fi and of course to JH Audio.
Has anyone here used the JH-13's for gaming? I use them on my computer with the Essence STX, set in 8 channel mode with Dolby Headphone. It works but I'm wondering if perhaps the famed AD700 are still better for gaming then the JH-13?
What do you mean by surround headphones? The only 'true' one I know of are the Psyko ones and they have been generally not favorably reviewed
Well then I'm confused what you meant by your first statement. Are you saying that the JH-13 isn't good for gaming?
So would you say something like AD700 would be better for gaming? Have you tried any of the gaming favorites and compared them to JH-13?
My main focus right now is for Bad Company 2... I don't mind switching to the JH-13's when I play WoW or some other RPG but for BC2 I'd like to take advantage of the.. well.. advantage.. that a good gaming headset offers...
So this $40 turtle beach headset that you prefered over the AD700... do you have the name of it? And is that what you use now for your FPS games?
The thing is though, and this is the part that keeps confusing me, is that you're differentianting stereo and 5.1/7.1 gaming headphones but the ones you listed before are all stereo. Obviously with fake emulated 5.1/7.1 with DH or CMSS3D, the JH-13 can also do surround sound, same as AD700 or DT880 or any of the 'great' gaming headphones.
So when you say the 5.1/7.1 gaming headphones are better, you're still referencing stereo headphones just with that emulation right?
