Hi Guys,
I spent hours yesterday evening looking for the perfect headset! All in waste as i couldnt find one that supports everything i require.
Basically, i need a good quality surround sound (preferably 7.1 or at least 5.1) wireless headset that connects with the PC to play games, but should also be able to connect to the AV Receiver for movies/console gaming (dont need mic for console gaming - just the headphone to listen to surround sound audio on late nights). A huge bonus would be if it comes with a charging stand! Also Bluetooth enabled would be another plus!
Im having trouble for any headset to match the above description! Do you know of any? or know where i could look for one?
I was going to order the Corsair Vengence 2000, as that atleast does the PC part correct, but then realised its a USB enabled wireless headset. Hence, im not so sure if this will connect with an AVR and still offer surround sound such as dolby and/or DTS.
I was then considering going for the Sony MDRDS6500, which would connect with the PC and the AVR to offer 7.1 audio in HQ! However, then i would be missing a mic, which im sure would be useful and needed for PC gaming.
The last headset i found was the Turtle Beach Ear Force Tango! This is a branded Call Of Duty exclusive headset, which i found is also the best quality of all the turtle beach headsets. It offers both a wireless headset experience for console gaming and for PC. One massive feature is that it has bluetooth aswell, so i can use it with my iPhone. This is great for when I'm immersed in the Oculus Rift VR kit and i receive a phone call, i will be able to hear the call within the headset.
However, im not so sure on the audio quality of these headphones. Some reviews were stating its only average and has very low sound, others were saying that its a problem to get working with a PC as you need both a bluetooth dongle and a sound card in your pc to get surround sound to work cause you need the Dolby Digital Live installed?!
On the PC im going to be using the 7.1 onboard motherboard sound card.
Hence, im back to where i was and completely confused as to what would work best.
