Headset help

[ุConnor]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for good headphones that I can use for hearing foot steps
And the direction they're coming from with also a very good mic that won't have background
Noise. My budget is 60$ to about 80$. Please help a fellow csgo player out
And thanks to everyone that will hopefully try and help me out

Aaaahh I feel you.

I wanted to play CS GO using my studio monitors, but they aren't positioned far apart enough and I have no speaker stands ;_;

rocking a pair of HD800's for when i want super clarity and a cheapo pair of PC-350s when i am bored and want to game with modest clarity. Yeah the HD800's were worth it only because they are hooked up to a 450$ studio sound card (these you cant buy from a typical computer store)

♥♥♥♥ me those 800's are expensive.

You don't have to tell me about audio interfaces :^), also typical computer stores are cancer.
Online purchases ftw

they indeed made my heart hurt a little when i swiped my card to buy em. But i got em home and threw em on my 450$ sound card, i was blown away i could hear the casing of bullets hit the ground as i played (well i felt their vibrations anyway).

music was even better the bass was there but its monitor style bass so very low until the song nails a high Db base point.

dont be, i feel like i wasted cash at times. I bought em for audio production purposes originally but they have now become my main music headphones and my "Ok im mad now at this guy" headphones when im online.

heh. what sort of music you produce ?

Well yea Beyerdynamic are expensive as hell..... But you can just get the Superlux HD681.. They cost around 40 bucks and you can buy a cheap micro with it. The sound of them are WAY superior than ANY 100 bucks headset. Headsets are just crap. Overpriced and have most of the time ♥♥♥♥ quality.

Depends on the client really. For my own entertainment both techno and blues rock are my favorite to manipulate and produce (youd be amazed how accurate MIDI's are gettings). I hate clipping the most in music, you know when the volume is pushed beyond the clip point.

I dont mind rap, the problem is its sooo bassy even with my audio production software as well my actual sound board makes it impossible to hear the issues i want to remove (hissing poping, etc) so i end up spending more hours fighting to hear what should be visable to my ears. (yet bass makes it so hard)

Yeah I feel ya. The whole loudness thing is annoying, people pushing their tracks to the point where it's painful to listen to and has no dynamic range, EQ analyzer is flat instead of a nice slope downwards.
Subtle compression is fine but it's overused nowadays.
