I've posted in MLE's thread but was referred here to get more info on PC surround gaming.
CONTEXT:
okay. I finally have funds to buy a new headphone to replace the Sony PULSE Elite Wireless
so I basically have 5 platforms I would use my headphones on.
(1) Vita/3DS
(2) PS4 (and PS3)
(3) PC -currently using Audinst HUD-MX1- (which I'll also use for Music and Movies -no specific genres!-)
I am thinking of getting one of the following 4 headphones
Senn HD598
Philips Fidelio X1
Audio Technica AD700X
Kingston HyperX Cloud Headset
I was also thinking of getting
- ASTRO Mixamp for PS4 Surround (recommended?)
- V-MODA BoomPro mic for chat
Concerns
- Comfort: I have a large head (Hat size would be like 73/4
- Mods: Can I easily change the cups, cables, etc... so as to ensure I use this setup for as long as possible
- I remember asking how I can do surround on PC in this thread before... but I don't have much choices right? and using the Mixamp on PC isn't recommended?
tl;dr - what should I get to get surround sound for gaming and movies on PC (and perhaps increase my music enjoyment or is my Audinst HUD-MX1 good enough?)
