Looking to buy a new gaming set that reasonably priced. Have a red dragon one its pretty good but all the vinyl coatings peeled off. Any recommendations. Its for casual gaming so not going to pay R8k. preferred usb input to the PC not 3.5mm jacks. So my red dragon has a console that plugs to the PC usb and the headphones plug into that console. Dont mind wireless either

any recommendations ?
 
I have the v1 model and has served me well for 9 years and is only now starting to show its age a bit but still fully functional..


Price valid till today only..
 
Just note that it you have hot and sweaty ears the cheaper faux leather synthetic materials tend to flake quickly.
Hmm now how do you limit those hot and sweaty ears?
 
Honestly, look at a proper headset and a separate mic. Reviews of this have been good

Rather get this for said ear cups.


But honestly who still wants to deal with wires every day all the time?

Good deal on these at the moment.


Newer fancier ones if budget allows.


Also available in white.

wires are less latency :-) even decent bluetooth will have some latency and the ones that have game mode drop the sound quality a bit.

No latency on proprietary dongle.

Also they said casual gaming.

But you can have it all with the Steelseries...USB wireless dongle or cable if you really feel you have to pretend you can hear a latency difference. Also the most comfortable headset out there by far.
 
You don't. You get yourself material earpieces. Ala Steelseries or new logitechs

This. I had the Sony Pulse headset - the headpieces fell apart.

Then got the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7P headphones - much better sound and very good with the hot-ears thing.
 
Lower latency, not none :-) I mean theoretically even a wire has latency.

I will go buy a hat and eat it if someone can detect said latency.

Odds are their TV/Monitor that's all wired is already delayed as it stands.

There might be some person who can detect it, might :-) but yeah generally people won't.

Candy crush would be fine with anything :ROFL:

Most systems you can setup the match the latency, 2ghz wifi shouldn't have, bt normal does have and it's annoying if you can't match audio.

However, you do get low latency and ultra low latecy. These always decreases audio quality.
