Hi guys,
my situation developed like this, a long time ago (probably 15 to 20 years) i bought an Audio Technica A900 for gaming (cs 1.6 and 1st person shooters in general) since i didn't like the overpriced gaming headsets that constantly broke and wanted to hear music as well. For a microphone a hung a monoear mic around my neck just for the mic. Everything worked perfectly and the A900 got a lot of use. Jumping to today, i've not played for about 10 years but got the bug again
I've bought a Meze Empyrean a few months ago and i love it for music and for the comfort (sits like a cloud on your head
) but pinpointing positions of players did not seem perfect so i got my old A900 und found it little bit better. I don't know if it's the different connection (A900 on Soundblaster ZXR and Empy on Topping DX7 Pro) or just plain placebo. Furthermore is the A900 not that comfortable to me anymore (earpads are the first ones and are flat so it presses on my ear a little) and the Empyrean is, like i said, really really comfortable.
Another problem is that i use a umik-1 i stole from my avr on its mini tripod....it works but i knocked it over twice already
So in my opinion i need a headset which is very comfortable and has the same or better, if that is even possible, accuracy in locating players in fps.
A good microphone should be attached as well. Open or closed back is second to these features, but i would prefer closed if thats possible. With the more expensive ones it would be nice to have removable cables (accidents happen
)
I'm looking forward to your take on this...
