Hello guys,
How is the ATH M50X for PC gaming? I've had the kingston hyper x cloud before and honestly they sounded worst than a Razer Electra, which i guess wasn't a "gaming" headset.

Now that the headset is broken i'm looking for a new headset for gaming and music basically all kind of audio.

Thanks.
 
Thanks, but unfortunately Superlux is not available in my country.

I don't have a DAC and AMP, no sound card either, just motherboard audio , motherboard is asus z97-a just in case.
 


In case you are interested in the Superlux you can buy them for really cheap here:

And this DAC+AMP

They ship world wide basically and usually no shipping costs. But honestly these are more ideal for listening music rather than gaming. I personally wouldn't be bothered with built-in sound cards.
 
OK, it seems it'll be better to get a headset with surround sound, kingston hyper x cloud 2 was the best option but unfortunately it is out of stock, logitech g403 is there, it's also a bit cheaper than even the Hyper X cloud 1, it comes with a USB soundcard, and the original cable is 3.mm jack unlike the Logitech G35.

Looks like it's a good option, but i've heard it's build quality is not very good.

That's why i thought about ATH M50X , i can connect it to front panel of the case and get some good sound, i can also connect it to the phone.
A bit confused here haha
