Hi all,
Looked at a previous thread by Rainbow http://www.etozclan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3803&p=40214&hilit=gaming+headset#p40214 & I'm wondering,which is better?
Headset?
or
Headphones & stand alone mic?
My sound card is here http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=872&product=15854&nav=1
Current headphones here http://www.djtechpro.com/product_detail.asp?category_id=71&sub_id=119&product_id=405 Really comfortable for hours on end for only $20
Budget $200-$250 (max)
Headset I was considering http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=16
Headphones recommended over headset http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=178
But I would need a stand alone mic,which I know nothing about & how good a mic do I need if I'm not recording or making video's?
Also Rainbow suggested G35 (logitec?) headset ,so I need some feedback from ppl who use VOIP during online gaming.
Lastly,is there a difference between gaming audio equipment & the stuff I've linked to above(DJ equipment?) ie.explosions sound better,perception of audio placement vs enemy location / or is one strictly for music?
My cpu does not have HyperThreading so I didn't want USB drawing on cpu resources (the reason I use a sound-card) but maybe it's not that much? I don't know.
TIA
