[SOLVED] Gaming Headset

[JediMa]

I would like to buy new headest for gaming to use with PC:

• surround 7.1
• wired
• good for music too

I'm using HyperX Cloud 2. I'm considering HyperX Revolver S but any good advice is welcome.

Budget under 200 euro ty

In my opinion true 7.1 headphones are awful for music and really everything other than determining direction and distance of sound in a game, even then i'd prefer a good open back dual driver studio headphone with good soundstage.

I'd personally rather have the hyper x cloud 2s than those revolvers. The cloud line are based on the pretty good takstar pro 80 studio headphones.

I use a pair of sennheiser HD58X's with a mod mic and am very happy with it. If you really want a pair of "gaming" headphones pretty much the only thing I could bring myself to recommend are the sennheiser game zeros which from my understanding are basically sennheiser HD558s with a coat of red gamer paint, a mic, and a bass boost.

The Cloud 2 you already have is a good quality and good sounding headset, I doubt for a "gaming" headset you will do better, you may get a different sound signature, but "better" is tough to say and depends on what you like to hear. The Game Zero above would be a good one to try, or you can get any standard headphone and add in a mic to them. If Drop.com delivers to your country and you don't mind waiting a bit, you can find some interesting things there to try.
