If I have to choose between the 671 and HI 2050 for gaming, which would be the best?
I'm not looking at price, or music preference.
I don't know if you're a gamer, but I do it competitive and would like the headphone that is best for footsteps and positioning.
I don't care about the sound of the explosions...
BTW: At the moment I use the Superlux 668B for gaming.
Thanks in advance!
I am not a gamer, other than wordfeud that is..
But would you not be better served with a closed headphone ?? then you would not be disturbed by noises around you
Is footsteps and positioning what it says or a kind of music ?? the last couple of years it seems to me that every new group is making their own genre, but if it is what it says in my opinion you would need as big a stage as possible..
The above is just to underline I am a Dinosaur LOL
The comfort of both phones is about equal, 671 being a bit ahead
The 671 has the widest stage, so the direction of footsteps should be more precise.
The disadvantage of 671 compared to 2050 is the size, the 671 is HUGE, not very heavy, but still big and I might add goofy looking, also they have a coiled cable and a 6,4 mm jack ..
So to sum up I think that the sound from the 671 would suit your needs best, but if you move around and nods your head while playing I would go for the 2050..
2050 is also easier to transport if you have to do that..
I am quite sure you will be happy whichever of them you do choose, as the are quite close in their signatures, 2050 just adds a bit of bass and have a slightly smaller stage, also please note than none of them perform at their best from a laptop or PC headphone out, they do need a bit more grunt and control than most soundcards are able to deliver..
