Pc 373D vs Game One vs Game Zero for laptop?

[Charlie]

I have a gl552vw laptop and am looking for new gaming headset. possibly will get a condenser microphone (neewer nw800 with external power brick)

And i might begin on some youtube, also really amateur (hobby) game developer

I would probably get the Game Zero. The headband to ear muff construction look much sturdier.

The 373D and Game One are open back which provides a more open soundstage but allows noise into the headphones and will typically have less bass. If you're using it at home, that doesn't matter though and the sound quality is generally worth it. 373Ds advertise fake 7.1 surround sound, which I would immediately discount as a good pair of open-back, stereo headphones are better. Game One is the same headphone as the HD 598, which is very good. The Game Zero is a closed back design, so bass should be better, but you will lose some of that immersive soundstage. They'll also provide sound isolation. Of the three, I would go for the Game One, which also happens to be the cheapest of the three.

So the Game One has better audio than Game Zero or 373D? Is the microphone also good enough for youtube (just for fun) and just chatting over video games?

well as most ppl still use their gaming headsets instead of good headphones they cant tell the difference between good mid range mics like the ones in Game One and Game Zero to a very expensive condensator mic.
So for all those ppl a high end mic would be waste. To the ppl that can hear the difference it doesnt matter normally as the sound quality is good enough. But If you want to overspend in a good mic, I was very satisfied with my Rode NT-USB.
