hey quick question did you get some extra soft ear pads with it, or do you have to buy that on the side?
and to answer your question, the best option in cs would probably be 'headphones' or '7.1'

Yes i got the soft ear pads with it 1 pair of leather ones and 1 soft ones. also if i dont have 7.1 on the headset auto switches to 5.1 wich seems to be better in some cases, but in other cases 7.1 seems to sound better

If you have it plugged into your pcs sound card which I assume, then I believe headphone on 7.1 would sound best.

How are they, is the mic and sound good? I might get a pair ^w^

Turn off the virtual 7.1 due the overwhelming ambient sounds and etc. And use the ''headphones'' setting ingame. You could also try some snd commands for best results.

Where can i change the settings ingame? (im at internship atm so cant look).
Also 7.1 should sound better when gaming yes (music no pls) but its virtual 7.1 and like Sun #Global said it's a bit overwhelming sometimes. but if i dont hit the 7.1 sound button on my headsets control box it gives me 5.1 right? should i just keep the 7.1 off and play csgo like that? or do i have to make some changes into csgo itself? Also would i be able to track al the footsteps right than?

Under the sound tab and then output i think. Not familiar with HyperX headsets, perhaps look into drivers or options? But yeah i think it would give you also the physically 5.1. Which is something you also dont wanna use in CS.

True 7.1 is awesome in every game, except CS :D The ambient sound and guns etc are too loud and sadly there are no options to change that.

Its awesome in games like Battlefield, while shooting and a friendly chopper flies slowly above your head and also engages the enemy. Thats all awesome and beautifull to listen to.

But in CS, oh boy.. :P Dont know if you play CS a lot or serious? Perhaps you can ignore it or live with it^

in sound settings there's speaker configuration you can change between headphone, 5.1, 7.1 and mono i think

Okay thanks! any arguments why 5.1 isnt that good in csgo? i get why 7.1 isnt but why is 5.1 bad? Also if my headset uses 5.1 and the setting in the menu is headset it will just use stereo i guess right?

I can't give you technical info why but headset makes the footsteps feel close or louder, while 7.1 makes them sound like they're far away for a better environmental feel suroundsoudn

Aah and sinds csgo is more close/small based steroe is better and like in bf games u should use 7.1?
