G430 or G433

[mr. rättan]

Hi! I am buying a new headset. Ive been looking in to dts:x surround sound and i really like it. I wanna buy a new headset that has dts:x surround sound, so i found this G433. Ive tried it on in a shop and i think its really comfy, and i really enjoy this kind of surround sound. I will be swapping with my G430 which, as far as i know, has dolby digital surround sound. Now the G433 is pretty pricy, since this upgrade isn't major. Do you guys think i should buy the G433, not buy another headset at all or a hole other headset. If you think i should buy a hole other headset, please comment your ideas.

Here is my advice, scratch gaming headsets and buy a decent headphone/mic combo.
The quality is way better.

Neither.

DTS Headphone:X is just a form of virtual surround. It takes multiple channels and puts them into stereo (2 channels), using HRTF and similar techniques to "trick" your ears into believing the audio has spacial properties. However, instead of going off the standard 5.1/7.1 (6/8 channels), it uses more channels to create more spacial awareness that standard surround was missing (above and below).

All that said, this is merely software. You don't need special headphones for it. Movies and music are starting to be mixed this way. No special hardware needed. All channels will route to stereo, just like 5.1/7.1 can do right now. Any stereo headphones can virtualize surround.

When you use the DTS Headphone X feature from those headsets on none DTS:X mixed sources, like video games for instance, you're just getting a standard surround virtualization.

Did you know that you can get spacial surround emulation on your current headphones/headset right now with Windows 10? Yup. Windows Sonic is built in and can virtualize 10 channels for spacial virtual surround. You can even download Dolby Atmos for headphones ($15; 30 day free trial).

Explore your options. Understand that companies like Logitech do not know audio very well. If you want audio, go for a reputable company that is known for audio, like Sennheiser, V-MODA, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Grado, Sony, etc.

Well not really; all headphones have the same crap-quality $1 mic basically, thats just how they are. Having the Headphone part worth $100+ doesn't make the Mic any good.

Best bet is quality studio-phile HeadPhones + separate Mic

I believe you two are saying the exact same thing, only wording things differently.

Please share example of "decent Headset w/ Onboard Mic"

Any audio-phile can tell you, such device doesn't exist. Not unless you really want to start talking about MANY hundreds of $; such as this for example:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HA93PNS
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CB38G32

Now that is a quality Mic system.

Want to Hear that Mic system in a realworld use-example?
Twitch.tv/BurkeBlack uses that same 2 piece setup for Mic
He's been using in any Video you see in his archive since around Nov 2017

Uhm, ya..

Wtf is your problem now?
Did I hurt your feelings or so?

We don't even know the budget yet, maybe op only has $150 or more, or less.
So he could aim for sennheiser hd pro + a samson mic or so, that's decent enough for the budget, if it's $150..


Tbh, your post was unnecessary..

[mr. rättan]

Well is there a certain headset that is good, that you would recommend?

The so called argument that you are in is with someone that has the same idea as you, a seperate pair of headphones and a mic. They just said it in a different way than you, calling it headphone/mic combo.

No one said anything about a "decent headset w/ onboard mic".

Stop looking at headsets, for starters. Avoid anything branded gaming. If the company makes computer parts or anything related to gaming, avoid them. Only go for quality audio companies.

What is your budget?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Oh ok, yes separate headphones & mic
My bad then, yes good idea to go that route.
Especially since even on headsets, you're luck to have the Mic last nearly as long as the rest.

[mr. rättan]

My budget is around 100 to 150 dollars

[⛧EyMi Mayhem⛧]

Aye dude and I was wondering what was wrong..
Excuse my harsh reply x)

Anyway, clarified, let's move on.


And yes Op, a budget would help a lot and scratch the headset idea, you don't pay for the quality.
