Been doing a ton of PvP lately in Destiny... And at night, I have to turn the volume too low to get audio cues, so time for a gaming headset.
Priorities are:
1. Surround sound - whether included or through external processor, knowing someone is behind you is essential; the better the positioning, the better for gaming
2. Sound quality - I do listen to music sometimes, so this has to be strong; preferably an analytic crystal clear sound - absolutely no hiss allowed!
3. Chat - can be through modmic or other; but must also be clear
4. Wireless would be ideal, bluetooth capable would be even better so I could take phone calls
5. Comfortable and lightweight
Basically I want it all.
So there are several solutions, cheap and expensive
Steelseries H - expensive but get decent reviews; SQ is typical gaming headset?
Sony Pulse Elite - good value for the money; but SQ will be mediocre
Some mix of surround sound processor, modmic and audiophile headphones - best SQ, but wired
I read through a lot of reviews, but they are often addressed at PC gaming. Will probably pull the trigger on the Pulse Elites since those seem to be a good value choice, but would love to hear other options.
