In my opinion, definitely go with a true surround, this is a one time investment, don’t forget that you can enjoy a true 7.1 surround from your Blu-ray drive with RAZER TIAMAT ELITE that comes with more accurate sound direction while with  Razer Megalodon you’ll need to rely on a quality of sound card that could effect the overall quality of your PC. So, if possible, go with the true surround !

RAZER TIAMAT ELITE, if you are looking for the 7.1 surround gaming headset for PC, this is the one !

There are very few true 7.1 gaming headsets available in the market, one of the reason is because of its price, with the same price of RAZER TIAMAT ELITE 7.1 PC gaming headset you can buy a full set of a surround speakers set with a Dolby Surround sound card, but if you are looking for your gaming sound device for you apartment or condo living and you don’t want to disturb your neighbours, buying a good true surround gaming headset is one of a solution. RAZER TIAMAT ELITE comes with 7 drivers for each channel, if you have a Blu-ray disc drive, and PC home theatre is your lifestyle and you are already have a surround 7.1 decoder sound card, I think RAZER TIAMAT ELITE is one of the best choice because you can have all channels send to RAZER TIAMAT ELITE in Direct mode with DTS or Dolby True HD.

The downside of this RAZER TIAMAT ELITE is, it comes with wires, so it means that if you want to keep your desktop clean, this could be a problem, but don’t forget that, compare to their specification, RAZER TIAMAT ELITE is very cheap, if you want a 7.1 surround gaming headset with wireless connectivity, I believe there will be around 250 USD up. If you are looking for something cheaper but still comes with a great quality, you may want to try Razer Megalodon, it is around 40 USD cheaper, but don’t forget that Razer Megalodon is not a true 7.1 headset.

Turtle Beach Ear Force XP400 vs Turtle Beach Ear Force X42, which XBOX 360 gaming headset to buy ?

There is only around 40 USD difference between these two XBOX 360 gaming headsets, Turtle Beach Ear Force XP400 and Turtle Beach Ear Force X42, but what is the difference between these two headsets ? Both of them are wireless headsets that use a RF technology (radio wireless technology that is good, better signal than Bluetooth headset),

and both of them come with 50 mm speaker on each earphone, so basically in term of audio technology, these two gaming headsets are pretty much the same, but the big difference between these headsets Turtle Beach Ear Force XP400 and Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 is battery ! While Turtle Beach Ear Force XP400 offers a built-in rechargeable battery with 15 hours of gaming per one charge and you can charge while you play, with Turtle Beach Ear Force X42, you have to use 2 AAA rechargeable batteries, this could considered convenience or inconvenience depends on your preference, if you don’t mind to buy rechargeable batteries and take them out your headset once a while to charge, then you can save your 40 USD for something more important or you may consider to replace batteries with a new ones all the time, it is cheap. But if you want a pleasant experience, I think Turtle Beach Ear Force XP400  is a better choice.

TRITTON Call of Duty: Black Ops Dolby True 5.1 Gaming Headset vs Sennheiser RS170, which one to buy ?

If you are looking for a good pair of gaming headset, I think one of the best solution is to get a true surround gaming headsets that are rarely available for a gaming headset market these days because of a price war. You may find a cheaper virtual gaming headset but with only one driver on each earphone, if what you are looking for is a great gaming experience, I think a true 5.1 surround is the answer.

But if you want to do more with your headphones, perhaps I think Sennheiser RS170 is a better idea because these are multipurpose headphones that could be used for gaming (with a virtual surround decoder may not as good as a original 5.1gaming headset), movie watching with bass boost feature and music listening with RF “KLEER” technology. If you want to make this is your one time buying, I think Sennheiser RS170  is the one.

Sennheiser RS 170 for PS3 and XBOX 360 ?

If you are looking for a pair of wireless headphones that you can use for a gaming, movie watching with your PS3 and XBOX 360 via Netflix and also for a music listening, you can buy a gaming wireless headset with MIC or if you are serious about a sound quality, perhaps getting one of a pair of audiophile headphones is a better choice. And if you are considering  Sennheiser RS 170 for your late night movie watching and gaming, these are pros & cons of these popular wireless headphones.

Click here for the full detail specification of Sennheiser RS 170 @ Amazon.com, starts from 179 USD (limited time)

Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphone with Dynamic Bass and Surround Sound

Sennheiser RS 170 is one in a middle of its series that includes RS 160, RS 170 and RS 180, unlike RS 180 that focuses on music listening, and RS 160 that offers to be a multipurpose headphones, RS 170 offers great two features for gaming and movie watching, Bass Boost and Surround. For a Bass Boost feature, this could enhance a low frequency for RS 170 that could be great for action movies, and for a Surround feature, sadly this is a virtual surround that simulates from 2 channel-audio, because RS 170 lacks of optical-in or HDMI-in and I believe it doesn’t come with a true surround decoder (and it is not a downside since it is not a Dolby headphones).

Sennheiser RS 170 also features a KLEER technology that offers a long range and lossless audio transmission, so you can use this 24/7 if you live in an condominium or apartment, you can wear these headphones while you are cooking, in a toilet, or working, and I believe they covers most apartment or condominium area. With this price you can buy a good gaming headset with a true surround feature, but if you are looking for  headphones that could be use for other purposes, I think Sennheiser RS 170  is a better choice.

I think I will go with Sennheiser RS 180, and this is a reason why

Beside of its downsides such as no optical out, no virtual surround (my AVR can decode that), and auto shutdown is too sensitive (I don’t know what to do with this, it could be an annoying problem, but I have a willing to try), here is a plus side of this headphones, I have researched :

Click here for the full detail of Sennheiser RS180, starts from 216 USD (limited time) @ Amazon.com 

1. Sennheiser RS 180 is a good audio quality headphones, I am not a big fan of a dark tone headphones but for a movie watching and gaming as priorities, I think a dark tone headphones could be a very good headphones, I don’t want to hear a disturbing high tone of broken glasses, or booming.

2. Sennheiser RS 180′s RF stand could be use with many headphones, so it means that, in a future, when I move in to my new condo, I can buy another pair of Sennheiser RS series for my girlfriend without any new pair of headphones buying, just an addition headphones (we don’t want to cause a problem with our neighbors), and I think this is very convenience.

3. For PS3 gaming, I know that the price of Sennheiser RS 180, I can buy a good new true 5.1 gaming headset, but I already have an AVR that can simulate a surround sound for any headphones and I don’t want to waste my money on a new decoder for headset that comes in a pack, and also I believe, using a audio headphones for gaming will give you a better audio quality. And I never use a voice chat since I am not a native english speaker and my internet connect cannot handle a NAT type that allow voice chat.

Sennheiser RS 180 Digital Wireless Headphone System

So my aim for Sennheiser RS 180 is about movie watching, single player gaming (multiplayer is ok too) and perhaps a loud wireless music listening). I’ve a PS3 Sony official gaming headset, and I have to say, it works pretty well but its audio quality is intolerant, its hi-tone is too high but for the price under 100 USD, I think it is acceptable.

My update on PS3 Sony gaming headset review

It has been almost 8 months since I’ve bought this gaming headset, if you want to read my first impression no this PS3′s official gaming headset, you can read it here. Why I want to do an update review about this gaming headed, I think reached a point that I get used to this gaming headset and I have used all of its features and this is what I think about this gaming headset :

Wireless Stereo Headset

1. I have a problem with its volume control, I think it is too loud even with almost lowest volume adjustment, and I can’t do anything about it.

2. In term of audio character, I think it is too bright, but not as bright as “it could destroy your pleasant moments” it is ok for a gaming headset under 100 USD ! But if possible, it would be better if this headset comes with equalizer or even firmware update for equalizer.

3. For music listening, as you know this is not a wireless headset for music listening, it is acceptable for movies and games (I use it when I want to do a late night Netflix or when that movie comes with no subtitle or late night gaming), but for music listening, I think it is too blurry, you will enjoy a wide sound stage, but it lacks of a good focus, and I think a virtual surround for movie watching does not work at all !

If possible you should go with something serious like a true 5.1 gaming headset that could cost you around 200 – 300 USD, but if you are in a budget control like me, I think PS3 gaming headset  is an acceptable choice, if you don’t use it as your primary sound system.

Should you buy Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 as your virtual surround headset ?

First of all you may want know that the Ear Force X42 is a replacement of X41 that is one of the best selling surround headset of Turtle Beach, what Turtle Beach do with their new model is 1. replace the RF with the wifi that claimed better and crisper and clearer sound, 2. the size of Ear Force X42′s Dolby surround sound processor and transmitter is smaller than its predecessor, so it is more convenience to use this headset than X41,

Click here for the full detail specification of Ear Force X42 @ Amazon.com with the limited time 7% off discount price 

Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 Wireless Dolby Surround Sound Gaming Headset

3. X42 comes with  bigger speakers than X41, so you can get a full fidelity sound, 4. you can remove a mic boom, I love this feature since I never use this function for online multiplayer and you can also hear your voice from your headset and this is good so you will be able to see if you shout too loud ! and also it comes with Chat Boost that cut a background noise from your voice, 4. Ear Force X42 also comes with a new preset equalizer, so you can personally adjust every tone into what you are really like such as Bass Boost, Treble Boost or you can boost both frequencies, and 5. Ear Force X42 comes with many preset positions for speakers angle positions.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 Wireless Dolby Surround Sound Gaming Headset

And that’s my point, Ear Force X42 is a Dolby headset but it is not a true surround that comes with 4-5 speakers on each phone, it is a virtual surround that comes with only one speaker on each phone but separates channel by a Dolby decoder, the plus for this virtual surround technology is you’ll get a lighter and cheaper headset and also a longer battery life, but what you’ll lose is a sound precision, if you only use Ear Force X42 for gaming, I don’t think it will be a problem, but if this headset will be your one and only for movie watching and music listening as well, I think you may want to check out a true surround headset instead of a virtual ones.
