Beats Vs. Gaming Headset?

[jsav246]

Like the title said I was wondering whether or not a pair of beats with a clip on mic would best a good gaming headset

beats are way overpriced, get a headset that was meant for gaming and not one that takes your wallet and flushed it down the toilet.

You could buy beats.. or you could walk into the wrong neighborhood and get mugged. Either way you'll find youself without money and looking rather embarrassed.

Get a proper gaming headset!

^^ Yes, stay away from Beats. They are awful. If you really want a dedicated headset go for some nice monitors like Sony MDR V6, or Audio Technica. With those you would have to use a separate mic though. (personally I think the MDR V6 is the best headphone bang for buck in the world...but that is just my opinion.) To be honest though, if a headset it what you want, then get a good headset. There are some really nice ones out there, and it sure beats trying to use a clip-on mic imo. (I use a nice separate mic...but it is a hassle. Great sound though.)

Thanks for the help but if I were to get the Sony MDR V6 then which mic and soundcard should I get?

PS: I would like to keep everything under 200$

you dont need a soundcard, just plug them into the mic jack

My recommendation: Corsair Vengeance 1500 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826816005

Great sound, awesome comfort and solid quality from Corsair.

Yeah, unless you are going to be editing music or something along those lines, a sound card is probably overkill. I would stick with the onboard sound.

I use a Nady HM-5U Headset Mic, it is fantastic. Great quality for any application. But again, it is a hassle.

If your primary use for this setup is gaming I would stick to a dedicated gaming headset. Far easier and convenient. Like Gallarian said, Corsair Vengeance 1500's are excellent for the money. They also have other models I have heard good things about.

I am going to get the Plantronics GameCom 780. Any opinions?

 

[senkasaw]

I went through a pare of those. Good sound quality. Just be careful (good long break in before turning the volume up really high), I blew two sets out (totally my fault ). Really liked them when I had them though.

Ok Thanks everyone for all of the help

Yep! Good Luck with your new headset
