Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I've got some dollars saved up and work is going well, so into the new year I figured I'd treat myself to a nice set of 5.1 or 7.1 headphones for gaming. Originally I was going to buy a sweet amp and surround sound system, but given my living conditions (housemates who aren't always fond of loud bangs and booms) and the fact I game a lot on both PC and consoles, I figure a headset would get greater use and easier to move between my two setups.
Problem is I know nothing about these kinds of things, nor have I ever owned a set of gaming headphones. I've always stuck with my audio-technica set, which owns, but is quite old and taken a bit of a beating over the years, so an upgraded is in order.
Please, educate me GAF. Here's some pointers.
- I don't care if they're corded or wireless. If corded = better, more reliable audio signal, then corded all the way.
- I don't care about chatting to people, so I don't care about mic quality or if they even have one.
- Audio fidelity and quality is paramount.
- I have no idea how good headset 5.1/7.1 one actually is, and which I should chose.
- I don't want to spend AU$1000 on a fucking pair of headphones.
