Wait! U Ma


Everytime I try to buy some suround sound headphones, I see that most of the suround sound headphones are gaming headphones. Is that the same, can I remove the microphone that's attached to the headphones or am i just unlucky to find some nice headphones. What do you reccomand?


Answer
I'm not sure if you're looking for gaming headphones, headsets, or just awesome headphones. you didn't specify a price range either so here goes..

surround sound headphones are a joke. Instead get headphones that has a wide "soundstage".

However, headphones with good soundstages tend to be open headphones, making them non-ideal for public use since they leak sound out and in.

if you game with a console and headphones, i suggest the audio technica ad700 + astro mixamp.
example here(watch that video with headphones for a demonstration): http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-updated-4-12-2012-akg-q701-added

if you game with a pc, then makes sure you have a good soundcard, external or not.

if you were just looking for regular headphones, the soundstage thing is the closest thing you will get to speaker sound on a headphone.

headphones with good soundstages: (most of these headphones are $200 and above)
beyerdynamic dt880/t1(open)
sennheiser hd558/598/700/800(open headphones)
akg q701(open headphones)
audio technica ad700(open headphones)
v-moda m-80 (closed headphones. good soundstage relative to other closed headphones, but not against open headphones ofc. also very portable/durable/stylish!)

Answer
Not much to change. Its a top notch system. If you wanna save some money you don't need a 6 core processor for gaming. 4 is plenty (FX-4100). I have one and I love it.
