Best Headphones?

Exorcist · **Best Headphones? -** 12-14-2002, 07:09 AM

I really enjoy all the sounds in MOHAA and SH, and I have tried several headphones types and styles. I even invested into a pair of Sennhiezers (sp) at a 150 bucks, but I keep coming back to my $30 pair of sony ear clipon's for the best gaming sound. I was wondering what other ppl were wearing for headphones and what they they prefered? Maybe not a very exiting post, but surely I'm the only one who loves to slap on the headphones and hear all the ambient sounds in the game. I especially love to hear a guy's footsteps as he's about to sneak up from behind, and then I spin around and nail'em! Oh yea, that's fun!

Ear clip-ons better than 150 dollar headphones? My opinion obviously wont help you..

I use ATH-M400fs Audio-technica Studio headphones... And they will only run you bout 135 bucks.. But.. You will prolly like your clip-ons better.

heh

wanna trade that sennheiser for an extra pair of clip-ons?
Seriously, i can't imagine that anyone want to use them over a sennheiser.....they make the best headphones

I use 5.1 surround sound! But when I had to use headphones I bought a pair of 140 headphones. Then I relized I was a fool for spending that much, and found out my headphones I had for 4 years worked better.

LOL Irony!

The problem with the Sennheiser's is that while they are great for audio such as for music and movies, you bet, when i putem' on for MOHAA and others games I enjoy playing, they can't seem to pickup all the ambient sounds and they just wind up sounding muffled. I know it sounds strange but if you had a chance to try them you'd see very quickly what I mean. I'm taking them back today and instead of "upgrading" my headphones (my $30 earclip Sony's work the best so far), I'm gonna invest into some 3D glasses. The one's I'm gonna get are the one's mentioned on the homepage of Alliedassault.com (here). Read the review. They get an unbelievable review from the guy who critiqued them. A waste of a $1OO? Maybe, but I've always wanted a set for my 3D games. We'll see . . .

Thanks for the feedback,BTW.

This [url=http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?topicID=2&subTopicID=125:8be04]site[/url:8be04] has good reviews on gaming headphones. I'd go for the [url=http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?topicID=3&subTopicID=26&productID=00200 90060:8be04]Grado SR60's[/url:8be04] myself, for quality at a decent price. They're on my x-mas wish list. =)

I had a labtech (or something like that) for $30 and they worked great.

Then I broke 'em, so now Im using my SOCOM headset. Just plug it into a USB Port and be ready to go lol.

What about Sony MCVs? I mean.. every intelligent DJ in the world uses them. Sennheiser.. hah! Wear those things behind your table at any big show and get laughed at by anyone in the know. Sony all the way...

Villain4Hire · 12-14-2002, 11:27 PM

I myself have a SennHeiser.. cost me about the same price... thinking they would be godly with a pc considerin they do 5.1 sound but you know what.. when it comes to pc this speaker is the wrong one... they are EXCELLENT with audio and home theatre but that's about it........ so for the pc I got myself a Plantronics headphone... best darn investment headphones I bought for pc... its EXCELLENT...so if you want a good headphone you can't go wrong with Plantronics!!

I don’t use headphones; I use 4 sub woofers, 2 tweeters and 2 normal speakers. When i shoot someone in the throat they DIE with a BBBBBLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!111231@!121

lol, anyway, in conclusion, get 4 subs, 2 tweeters, and 2 normal speakers to make your gaming experience breathtaking… Eartaking… What the fuck ever.
