AD900X with a mic.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-ATH-PDG1-Premium-Open-Air-Headset/dp/B00OTG9RGE/
Similar to the MSR7

For me the Audio Technica products are some of the most uncomfortable headphones/headsets out there.

I have the ATH-M50x and the ATH-ADG1x.

The ATH-M50x sounds absolutely terrible to me compared to almost all of my other headphones/headsets. The bass drowns out everything else for me. And the pads are so terrible.

Whereas the ATH-ADG1x is one of the best sounding "gaming" headsets I have ever heard. It does everything right except comfort. It's not the headband or anything like that on the Audio Technica products. It is the insanely uncomfortable ear pads on almost everything they make. I guess the ear pads are made for people with smaller ears or something because they are not really over ear headphones/headset they sit on your ear because no-ones ear is a circle. So you have the pad sitting on the top and bottom of your ear and if you can handle that then perfect. I tried to change the ear pads but it ruined the sound. And after about 30 minutes it begins to hurt really bad.

So my recommendation is the ATH-ADG1x, which is essentially a ATH-AD900X with a mic. The sound is fantastic. Very nice bass, perfect sound stage and openness for gaming, but damn do the ear pads ruin it. Also the mic is phenomenal. It also works perfectly with my MixAmp and is actually really great for anything. Movies, music, TV, all sound amazing on these.

Anyway, good luck.

Some alternatives to consider if you value comfort:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-GAME-Acoustic-gaming-headset/dp/B00JQDOALC/
This is very close in terms of sound quality to the ATH-ADG1x but absolutely kills it on the comfort side. This headset is my go to recommendation for anyone that wants supreme comfort, way above average sound quality, and no bullshit.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-Mobile/dp/B00SAYCXWG/
This is extremely comfortable too. It is closed though. But still sounds very very good. And if you like a more "cinematic" sound then these would be the best option. They are slightly bass boosted (but it doesn't drown out anything and sounds so much better compared to the M50x) and everything else like mids and highs are solid as well.

Also, I should mention that all of the headphones/headsets mentioned here will absolutely destroy the A40 in terms of sound quality.

Basically once you hear a better pair of cans you will understand how bad the Astro's sound. It's basically like putting your head in a fishbowl with water in it and listening to speakers on the outside of the fishbowl. Bass that is so strong it drowns out the mids and highs and completely destroys any clarity. The A40's do look cool and feel pretty comfortable and also feel very well built but that is about it.

There are some very high quality gaming headsets put there, but they are often very expensive. In my experience, it's smarter to buy a quality headset and mic separately, rather than together. You can often get them cheaper than their combined counterparts as well.


The Mod Mic is what I use, but it's a little expensive. There are also [mics like this](V-MODA BoomPro Microphone for Gaming & Communication - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BJ17WKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_K2MbAbTN69BEB) which can work in-line with compatible headphones, thereby making your life even easier.

If you do a little searching and review-reading online, you shouldn't have any trouble putting something together. Good luck!

I have a decent sound card but I thought my current headphones were 7.1 or 5.1.

Apparently not lol

The new HyperX models seem to be nice. There was a Seinnheiser around $200 that was supposed to be amazing but current reviews don't seem to agree.

This page lists the new HyperX as a top one. I don't mind spending the money I just want to hear from those who have the 7.1 headphones on how they like it

u/jdmdc2 · 1 pointr/Headsets

Check this one out. It's pretty decent and has a detachable USB cable and mic. By detachable cable I mean it is cabled but the 3.5mm disconnects from the USB dongle/cable and you can just plug it directly in to your controller.

​

Solid sound and fit. I used one for a while and passed it on to a friend as I switched to wireless.

What kind of mic? I've been nearly paralyzed with indecision.

There's the blue snowball and blue snowball ice, which are commonly used, but I'm concerned about the direction-sensitive reception. I don't want the microphone to have to stand in front of the monitor and block my view just to pick up my voice. The former option has an omnidirectional mode, which may solve this issue, but I don't know.

Then there's the MXL AC404 conference mic, which a friend of mine has. That's omnidirectional only, but apparently works pretty well, but it is also the most expensive of the three.

Ideas?

I'm content with the quality of my Skullcandy's atm. I'm no audiophile so I don't have any kind of audio expectations. Connecting to my controller for my mic isn't an issue for me I just don't want cords running along my floor to my Xbox. I currently have a Skullcandy PLYR2 that I use for my PC, XBO, and PS4. I've only used it once or twice on the PS4 but it works great with the other two options. My main issue is that my PC is upstairs and my XBO is downstairs and, as far as I know, I'm not able to buy a standalone adapter (if it would even work. I've heard some devices are paired individually and uniquely to adapters). That means I have to disconnect my USB adapter from my PC, then connected it to my XBO, which isn't easy to get to a USB port with external HDD's and charging controllers, and re-pair the devices every time I want to swap platforms. This wouldn't be an issue if I were a consistent gamer for hours but sometimes I want to play Xbox for a half hour or hour then go jump on my PC.

The HX66 are probably cheaper but that's not a good thing also what country you from so I can look for links where you can order from.

But here are some Links for Amazon USA I also included some amazing headsets from audio Techinca

I use this for my PS4 but u can use for PC and mobiles or what, Creative Sound BlasterX G5 7.1 Headphone Surround HD Audio External Sound Card with Headphone Amplifier for Windows PC/Mac / PS4 / and Other Consoles https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B018JUPY3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kmoEDbXKE6WN7

V Moda Boompro (cable with boom mic at the headphone port) and an SHP9500

This will give a better experience than virtual surround sound

u/Rust1nPieces · 1 pointr/Headsets

I had the same problem. you can use this https://antlionaudio.com/collections/accessories/products/antlion-audio-usb-sound-card or one of these https://www.amazon.com/external-Adapter-Windows-Microphone-SD-CM-UAUD/dp/B001MSS6CS/

I use a SoundblasterX G5 with my modmic and it works great. There is a newer SoundblasterX G6 that should work too. I got the G5 to amp my 250 ohm beyerdynamic dt880s.

I dont have a desktop mic. I have the V Moda Boom Pro. Its a mic that connects to most headphones with a 3.5mm detachable cable. You should check it out. As for the desktop mic. I guess it depends which one you get. Ive read of people having issues with desktop mics picking up lots of background noise. Which might annoy the people you play with. Heres a a link to the VModa

2nd the shps, 7.1 in a headphone is redundant due to 2 drivers in a headphone. Even 7 drivers in each cup would have a messy sound signature. The Phillips are the standard bearer of open back headphones for gaming/music. These will last longer than a big name gaming headset. (Vmoda boom pro for the volume dial and mic) the vmoda even comes with male to 2 female trrs adapter for separating mic/audio for PC. $48-60 for shps, Newegg usually cheapest next to Amazon. $29 for vmoda

I bought a Jabra UC Voice hoping it would work out, but the stupid design makes it so it falls off my ear every time I move. I gave it away after a few days.

^Take a look at this one.

I've had the G430 myself and there's two huge downsides:

  • The USB soundcard will give you a lot of crap, e.g. problems with microphone or weird sound bugs.
  • The headset itself is EXTREMELY flimsy.
