You could get shp9500 and a Vmoda boompro
Is that adapter attached to the USB-C port... I need that to charge more often than not so it wouldn't work for me...
Oh. Then you’d probably need the steel series wireless pro or the audeze penrose
These look like the way to go... Ouch on the $329
I’d go with the Penrose. They were $249 for preorders but now $299. Initially there were issues that were fixed with a firmware update but they are small and need to be stretched. The steel series I believe use the same drivers as the rest of their line and i don’t like the way they sound, especially for that price. If the Penrose are comfortable enough for you they are hard to beat if you need to have the features you want.
Penrose is a far better deal. $329 isn't so bad but Penrose > *
I have the XM3 and use them plugged to the controller, everything works same as wirelees. You can use ANC, Ambient Sound or nothing. On top of that you can just turn them off and save battery, sound quaility is a little worse IMO, but its another option.
Mic doesn't work wired... I think Bo is right noise cancelling uses power and not active when wired...
Did you try Amazon? You can also get the Penrose x. It works on PS5. It’s got green highlights instead of blue though.
Yeah.. Green available for Feb 1 delivery.. Blue sold out everywhere..
There’s also the chance, though slight, that the x won’t support the PS5 at some point down the road. It’s not likely, but it’s not officially supported. It works because the PS5 uses non proprietary USB. I wouldn’t worry but I just thought I’d make you aware it’s a possibility. You can also get replacement earcups to change the color.
Exactly, never really cared for these so called Gamer Headphones. I'd rather buy normal hifi headphones from AKG, Hifiman, Sennheiser etc.
We’re way beyond this. The gamer ear has evolved my friend. There’s a select few that can hear the gremlins living inside of their PS5s chirping over surround sound systems and noise canceling headphones while playing bongos.
So far no buyers regret with the XM3's, i think for my situation they are perfect, i dont play MP so don't need to be able to communicate but want the best audio for the money. I need something that works for movies and games and so far i havent been able to notice any lag when watching or movies or playing my PS4 with the audio simply going via the TV to the XM3, as for when i eventually grab the PS5 i can plug them directly into the Duel sense to avail of the 3D audio if i so wish. Also been listening to a lot of hi-rez audio on them and they sound incredible, defo recommend.
Thats right, it uses the dualsense one, but thats probably for the better lol
Yeah they are good headsets no doubt, I just don't want anyone going into thinking it's a high end universal headset like I did.
Wireless isn't a big deal unless...you know, you use wireless and realize wires are bullshit. It's like using the bus is fine but owning a car is better.
Everyone is different and they all have a place. Audiophile is a bullshit term anyway. Everyone has different shaped heads and ears and expectations or conveniences. I tried hard to get rid of the wires behind my system but in the end I just ended with my same setup with a second pair of headphones and enhanced it with some workarounds. The pulse are unbeatable for their features and pricepoint, But the platinum is far better and it’s 4 years old. Some love the arctis @$150 and I think they sound like the pulse but people find them comfortable so they have a better experience.
XM3 for sure, you can use it anywhere, great sound and noise cancelling etc.
Portas are on ear. You want over ear for full effect
Yeah I kinda expected that. Strange as for normal stereo sound, porta's are some of most open and positional headphones but 3d don't rely on that
This is 2 years old.
This.
