Re: Gaming headsets
Open-back do bleed sound, yes. Now that also depends on how loud you tend to listen. I've never had my wife complain or anything about her hearing the gaming sounds so it will depend on how your using them. If you were laying in bed next to her gaming with them on, then yes she would hear but if its another room, no they are not that loud.Comment

Re: Gaming headsets
Interesting...I'll have to look into it more in the future when I have an opportunity to get a good set of gaming headphones. I really don't chat or play online a ton, so maybe a cheap inline mic could work with a nicer pair of non-mic headphones that are really comfy. Comfort's more key to me vs. sound, if I'm wearing these 2-4 hours they have to fit amazingly.
Here is a couple brands which tend to get high marks for comfort. You will naturally have odd balls in them, so always research. A good example of this is the AKG Q701 Quincy Jones edition. Look at the headband, see those bumps......yea hours of those pressing will cause some discomfort

Re: Gaming headsets
I ended up returning the Sony Platinums. 2 months later and it still wasn't saving the sound presets. I also hated the fact that the bass is weak. Besides Astros are there any other wireless headphones that do virtual 7.1 and have decent bass?

Re: Gaming headsets
I bought a couple if headsets. The hyper cloud 2, Steelseries arctic 7, Astros A40 and the turtle beach 520. The turtle beach are hot trash and getting returned. Already retuned the Sony platinums for lack of bass and presets not sticking. Turtle beach have bass but it's not clean and the mids and highs sound very muffled which is typical with turtle beach. I ended up using the astro mix amp pro TR with the hyperx clouds 2 and by far the absolute best sound I've been able to get on consoles. Had the A50's before as well and also own a pair of Sony Golds. To me nothing comes this close in great sound. Yes, I'm wired but I ended up buying a 12 foot 3.5mm extension and all I have is one wire coming from my entertainment center to me on the couch.
Many people including myself enjoyed the Astros a lot but the highs aren't that good on them while they have a ton of bass, but the bass can be overpowering. The combination of the clouds 2 and this mix amp destroy the astros a50/a40. The clouds 2 are a great balance of good highs while still having punchy bass. The clouds without the mix amp don't sound anywhere near as good. So for anyone looking for a great headset I recommend the clouds 2 with the astros mix amp pro TR. You'll love everything you hear trust me.NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.Comment

Re: Gaming headsets
I've been using the Philips SHP 9500 and vmoda boompro mic for just about a year now which ran me for about $70 total. These two combined are by far the best headset I've ever had. To be fair though, I've never had the chance to try out the high end headphones/headsets. I can hardly tell I have a headset on as it is very light and comfortable.
My gold headset now just collects dust. I've never noticed how uncomfortable those were until getting used to the Philips. It's a much tighter clamp compared to the Philips and I can't wear the golds for much longer than half an hour without feeling discomfort.
Only advantage golds have on these is being wireless. The mic and audio quality blow out the golds by far. The Philips are an open back headphone so sound does leak if that bothers anyone. It isn't noticeable unless someone is sitting right next to you.Last edited by mikenoob; 05-17-2017, 09:45 AM.Comment
