Headphones / Headsets Discussion

36758 Views 939 Posts Social
A general discussion on those devices we put on our heads to drown out the nagging...I mean for better sound quality :P

I've been using the SteelSeries Siberia V2's steelseries.com/... for ages now and I'll be hanging on to them because they do a good job.
Don't think the amplified signal from the amp on the card will damage the external amp, but it will mess with the settings somewhat.
If you can turn off amplification that would be best. An unadulterated signal to the prominent is what you want.
Hmm looks like its going to be an annoying conversion. Can't find a cable that cleanly converts 6.5mm to RCA. They're all 3.5mm and don't look to have thread for the 6.5mm plug. I don't really want to use one of those shitheap adapters with the plastic on them...

Dude,
the RCAs and the 6.5mm jack are on the same output. Just use the RCAs ;)
I need both noob. RCA output is used for Speakers, 6.5mm for headphones. I don't want to use a switcher box; trying to get audio to the AMP with as little intervention as possible.

Found it though:

Basically, that cable looks like it eats monster cables for breakfast.

Kind of shit that the amp only has RCA in though, but then same with your speakers I suppose.

Naw the have 3.5mm so need 3.5mm to RCA XD
[Shifty]
Not easier to get a 3.5 to 6.5?
Anyone got a Dr Dre Beats Pro or Studio?

Probably is but the adapters look like aids and the high quality RCA to 3.5mm cables don't have thread so I can't use those screw on solid metal ones XD

I'm gonna buy both. 6.5 for headphones and 3.5 for speakers :D tempted to get some of those uber cables the have that are fat as [Shifty]

Might get heavier gauge cable for my Audioengines too.
You can just get regular sized speaker cable for full range speakers.
Heavy gauge, like really heavy, is only used for things like subs as the high frequencies find it harder to go through that much cooper.

Monster cable is over priced BS.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say

"Duhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I sure hope you don't need that flame shield [Shifty] Monster cables are hilarious.
Ok, out of the 2, which headset is better?

Razer Carcharias

Corsair HS1

Corsair probably. Razor kind of suck. They're the iPod of PC gaming peripherals. Popular for being popular.
Any other recommendations for <$100? :O
No not really. I'd point you towards the Sennheissers or something.
Wow, there just a bit expensive @_@

Isn't there a set under $100? Hmm lemme check.

EDIT: www.pccasegear.com/...
As if not those!!!!

Though they somehow seem...cheap...

No don't get that get the 515s they're much better! Just grab a Zalman clip on mic and job done.

tiberius said: This? > www.pccasegear.com/...


do you actually need it? if so then get the HD515 and the Zalman mic.
Would that be better then getting the Corsair one?
For shizzle. Headsets suck outside games. Headphones are good at everything.
