Hey Head-fi, I heard you guys were the authority on everything sound related so here I am in dire need of your help.
I've already scoured the forums for a solution to my problems but alas I live in the wintery wastes of Canada and can't catch a break for my life. Most of the headsets/headphones i've been looking at either don't ship to canada or simply aren't sold here.
So here's what I'd like:
Good gaming sound quality: I'd like to have the full surround sound experience but I've heard that 5.1 surround sound in a headset doesn't translate very well to PC gaming. I'm not using these for competitive gaming but i would like to be able to have a certain advantage over some players.
Preferably a mic: I saw the v-moda crossfade LP comes with a nice little mic-cord kind of deal which would be nice to have instead of a big clunk stick posing erect from the side of my head lol. Also, if you know of a pair of headphones that work better than a headset for gaming then please feel free to let me know
Good bass: I love electronic music in general so quality bass is important to me. I'm also a huge fan of ska and metalcore. Some of my favorite artists from each genre would be Feed Me, The Planet Smashers and August Burns Red for example. So I don't know if that helps any of you but i figured i might as well let you know in case it does!
Budget: 50$-150$
I'm relatively new to the headset scene. The only pair I own is the Turtle Beach X1 headset so i figure I have nowhere to go but up from here.
I was looking at the "AKG Acoustics K-240 Semi Open Studio Headphones" featured on amazon.com as well as the
"V-MODA Crossfade LP Over-Ear Metal Headphones" on newegg.com but neither one of them ships to canada. (I know they both have .ca equivalents but the v-moda is on rediculous america sale mode since it's the week after black friday and the canadian site doesnt have the sale)
If you guys could try to keep it to canadian retailers and website it would also be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
