Headsets you guys use

[Hey Jack]

Just wondering what headsets you use for CS GO.

In particular which you feel give the best positional audio

Thanks

Superlux HD681 EVO and a standalone mic. Gaming headsets are bunch of crap. :D Buy hifi headphones, they sound better and you can use them for everything + they feel a lot nicer than cheaply made colourful gaming headsets.

Razer Kraken 7.1

[Sticky White Stuff]

SteelSeries 3H USB
They are cheap, small and provide good sound. The mic is quite good too. But the motherboard buttons suck. The volume buttons broke after a few months and i have taken extra good care of them.

Any headset with a mic will do. It doesn't even have to be a gaming headset (they are just regular headset with a logo and a mic). The quality may be different, but really, they are the same for gaming unless you care about sound quality. The positional audio is the same on all stereo headsets, be it your cheap earbuds or your razer gimmick.

Steelseries Siberia V2.

Great headset for the price, mic is pretty good aswell.

Steelseries siberia elite w/ a creative sound card. The steelseries sound amazing.

AKG K550 with a Zalman mic.

I use siberia v2 only because I got them on sale..so meh :x

I use a Sony MDR-7506 Pro....
I can hear where everything is coming from.
The thing is from the 80s.
So pretty much, any headphones that isn't a PoS can do it for you.
You need some sort of decent sound card.

[Hey Jack]

Didn't realise the steam forums were so widely used and helpful. I'm stuck in about 10 minds right now!

Thanks everyone for your input

i have steelseries siberia v2, 5h v3 and 7h. i like 5h v3. siberias are the most comfortable but the sound is kinda weird..

Just a suggestion - if you care about good positioning IMHO its better to buy cheaper headphones+soundcard. A dedicated soundcard makes a huge difference even with average headset.

Edit: the only "gaming" headset i've ever used was steelseries 5h v2. They broke after ~1 year (never droped them or anything like that), and the sound was horrible (ak47 in CS:S was just drilling into your brain, no bass at all). They were decent at positioning but not comfortable at all. With sound card, even AKG k414p were good for pinpointing enemy location and these are half open headphones not really designed for gaming.

1st generation Sony Wireless Headset, it's only stereo on PC but I always know if they're behind me or in front.
