This thing looks really neat but the review doesn't make it seem that appealing.
I was reading the Best VR Headset article a few minutes ago and it made me think that Tomshardware needs best speakers and best headset articles too. I'd like to know what toms thinks is the "go to" headset when you're making a buying decision.

The best advise is to buy reasonable priced Hi-Fi headphones and separate mic.
Something like shennheiser 495

Or similar. Those try to reproduce sound as it was intended to be hear, not make it some gimmick.

Or bigger HD 485

And if you have more money
Hd650 is ok

But the point is. Go for Hi-Fi headphones and think how much you Are ready to pay. There is no practical upper limit how high you can go. But even reasonable amounth of money gives you something that is better than normal Gaming headphones. Good quality mic is not big deal to get separately.

The answer is really simple. It's not bad at all and worth to think about it. But we need to see it every time in relation to the price. C-Media's pre-definded sound profiles are simply painful and unusable. The built-in equalizer is very limited too, because it depends additional at the chosen profile. This is a really stupid solution, sorry. If you see only the headsets, they are ok. But the combination is a little bit overpriced. I measured it in the chamber and tried it by myself. I do this things with headsets since over 30 years and to be honest - it is only mainstream.

@hannibal:
We pushed the reviews (also the older from me) to start such a thing soon. But I test it more in-depth and measure it - this costs time. The usual Hi-Fi blah-blah helps nobody. It's mostly a big bubble of meaningless words. It is difficult, to write it understandable and to be not too short and flat
