[SOLVED] What headphones to use when gaming?

[Peperuna]

Hi!

I currently have two headphones/headsets: HyperX Cloud ones and Sony mdr-1A's, I was wondering that which ones are better for gaming sound vice. If I were to use the sonys i would most likely buy a mod mic for them. And if the sonys are better, then are there any ~100$ headsets that would beat the sony and modmic combo in gaming. Also are there any noticable benefits having 7.1 headset compared to my stereo Sonys. I'm kind of clueless when it comes to audio stuff, if you didn't already notice. Thank you.

HyperX cloud is better for gaming despite the Sony's probably having better audio quality. This is because the HyperX has 7.1, which will allow u to more acurately pinpoint footsteps and where shots are coming from.

You have them both? Try them both and see which you like. Not sure why you would ask someone else when you have them there to try yourself, why ask someone else what you would like?
