[AMDFTW]

hey well my ozone toxics broke on me (solder in the left ear cup had come off) so i am after a replacement but i want a better set this time,altho they were awsome i feel that the build quality was not very good,so i am after a better set.

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ozone-gaming-gear-strato-51-gaming-headset-plus-mic same brand as the ones i had before but different cups and they look abit more sturdy

i also like the look of these

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/creative-sound-blaster-tactic3d-alpha-headset i have not seen no reviews of them yet but they look smart,not sure if they are try 7.1 tho

i could get 5.1 for that price

they are expensive

 

[alienware]

Yes you could get 5.1. You would also get crap sound quality. 5.1 sets usually sound rubbish for music given that music only really works in 2.1

Those Razers sound excellent but if you're willing to sacrifice sound quality for surround then it's up to you I guess.

I'll be getting Skull Candy for my next pair, given that 5.1 headphones are a bit toss.

These are what I have.

Absolutely immense. Come with their own 5.1 amplifier which allows you to adjust everything seperately.

i thought the kaves were one of the best headsets out and they are 5.1

 

[alienware]

5.1 sets never sound as good as very good headphones on account of the amount of drivers they need in them. This means cheaper, smaller and not as good.

The Earforce I linked to used to be about £150. They are so loud it's like sitting in a car with subs in. And trust me when I say loud dude. I know what loud is. You will give up long before they do.

However, sound quality whilst good is nowhere near where it should be for the price.

Check out this site My link for headphones sound. I'm using piece of crap Radio Shack stereo 2 drivers 1left/1right (non surround)head phones $20.00 (US dollars) and the sound quality and surround is amazing with whatever hes using to do that.

If someone can tell me so I can hear things like that at home with head set, you would be awesome

I found it My link...now to get it...

i dont get the relavence mate

i dont get the relavence mate

The relevance mate (still feel weird saying that Lol) is that the discussion was what he should buy to how he should listen to it which goes hand in hand. My point since I failed to communicate it or someone fails to follow, is that you can get good quality surround with piece of crap stereo headphones with out spending a fortune on a singular headset and be able to hear this quality surround no matter what type of head set yo have.

BTW...Not trying to insult anyone. I'm finding out that some understanding and ability to communicate is perceived different on opposite sides of the pond. So bear with me while we catch up to each other OK mates (Lol still feel weird saying that)

 

[AMDFTW]

well yes you would if music,games and evything audio was recorded using the microphones in the virtual barbershop but they are not.

you did not word it correctly so it made so sence and considering i was asking what headphones to get ur post has no relevence at all.

so dont get smart fella

You do realise that you are talking to some one who doesn't exist yes?

AMD posted the thread. Who are you referring to with the he?

Are you sure you're from the other side of the pond and not outer space? because every post you have made so far has just confused the crap out of me.

OMG...see this is what I was talking about at bottom of previous post "BTW...Not trying to insult anyone. I'm finding out that some understanding and ability to communicate is perceived different on opposite sides of the pond. So bear with me while we catch up to each other OK mates"

Talk about wording...check your spelling (evything,sence,relevence,dont) before you submit, if your gonna puff up your chest. I wasn't trying to be smart,till now...see, there's a difference.

Deep breath everyone and lets chill

Again, the point was...no matter what type of headphones you get or have, you don't need surround sets to get surround. With My link their software you get better quality sound and the benefit of directional emersive sound out of 20.00 US dollar pieces of crap headsets.

I hope this clears it up because I'm not gonna reply on this anymore and keep it going...it went too far already.

And it wasn't recorded with mics, it is done via software through left and right out put channels

Love to all my brothers and sisters from all countries

He...does exist. He, being AMDFTW but not AMD. I didn't look to see who was talking...apologies. He being AMDFTW knew who I was talking to because he "AMDFTW" responded. So sorry if you're confused, it must really suck.

Good night guys

Captain Caveman may be wrong with his suggestion of software driven 5.1 but the way it's been discussed is a joke in what should be a friendly forum.

Putting extra software filters on the sound you listen to degrades the quality. Therefore suggesting that any stereo set of headphones will offer the same experience as a 5.1 headset is unfounded. Just from Captains experience it's been ok, that's all and so he suggested it as he felt it was a valid point. From reading my post with some more reading he'll realise it wasn't quite a valid post but it was on topic to a point. ie. Instead of paying a surplus for a 5.1 headset you could buy a better quality stereo headset at a similar price point and through software gain the 5.1 effect.

I prefer good stereo headsets myself planning to get the ATH-AD700 at some point to replace my AKG's. That's because I listen to music etc as well, and using decks etc. If you're just gaming and listening to the occasional stuff it won't be a huge deal really. So in my opinion here just go with what you know will sound good to your ears and possibly go somewhere that stocks a few for a listen. That'll make your price decision for you (assuming the store uses decent audio for testing lol...). Just my opinion of course it's just peoples listening depends on themselves and also some people literally don't hear certain things so why pay for it... I have a friend that is indifferent to great quality speakers with raw audio compared to ibuds. Seriously get what makes you happy gaming and definitely research mic quality, durability (they tend to break or fail on some) and comfort for your ears as no matter how good something is if it hurts your ears after 2 hours screw it.

 

[Bocephus]

LMAO what a cock you are man

i dident see the 'BTW' so f*** you

spelling? if everything was spelt incorrectly then i would take your point,but a few things thats being pedantic and you no it,it was just the onlything you could put as the rest of my post was correct.

itherway your post was irrelavent FACT

and yes they use microphones IT SAYS IT IN THE F***IN SOUND CLIP YOU DOUCH go have a look on the net and the come back with some facts

you Tool

OMG...I hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth. If you do, I hope she punishes you for it.

Dude you are so immature...at no time did I treat you so childishly...this is supposed to be discussion, not ghetto mouthed raised in the garbage (don't think your parents had a hand with the way you turned out), to see how repulsively ignorant you can be.

And where setera was talking about microphones was only a reference (example) to your ears being the microphones and picking up sound...you cant hear with microphones. You pick up sound with mics, and the receiver (your ears) receives and transmits, your brain then processes.

whateverdude...I'm so done wasting time on this

Thank you Dewinte...yes, it got way off topic. And yes you are right in what I was trying to say "Instead of paying a surplus for a 5.1 headset you could buy a better quality stereo headset at a similar price point and through software gain the 5.1 effect" and if you still want surround head phones that software it seems it will only improve the sound. Which is what I thought I was getting across, but obviously fell short. I didn't know I needed to connect the dots for someone to be able to follow what was supposed to be a simple adult discussion.

My apologies if I was at fault for it going so wrong, in fact I will be the adult and just go ahead and say I accept the responsibility so we can all move on.

Now I'm going to have to buy the Qsound Labs software and two new sets of head phones, 1 being stereo and 1 being 5.1, to determine if all this is right or anywhere close.

Lol...something productive finally came out of all this "debating".

1. I my self am admittedly not an audiophile nor do I know all the mechanics of headphones. I do however, question: the mechanical filters, timing, angle and spacial positioning in surround and 3-d headphones VS. software to achieve the same results...sound is still being manipulated in one way or another, albeit mechanical or software. I will have to spend some money and time now to find out if there is any notable difference one way or the other.

2. I deningly concede to your point of total relevance. That's my s-s-s-story and I'm s-s-s-stickin to it, Lol (country song).

=Time away from new build

[tinytomlogan]

Right lets stop this here. I will NOT tollerate anything like this on OC3D, I dont care who started it or what the argument is about EVERYONE that has posted in this thread is at fault.

Anything else like this and Ill dust off the ban stick. If you cant be friends play in a different sand pit.
