I just want decent sound with a decent microphone and no damn static. Is this normal? Is it because they're cheaper headphones? What should I be looking for in the future to avoid this? I prefer to stay around the $100 budget because I'm not what you'd call an obsessive gamer or audiophiile. Others say the audio is crisp, just low, so I guess that's a plus. Only the +10db is somewhat tolerable and gives my microphone enough of a boost that I don't have to yell as loud as possible for others to hear. Unacceptable as even at +20db the non-stop static in your ears is crazy. Problem? Microphone only does it in +10db, +20db, +30db settings. Figured I had to actually up the +db gain to get anything out of the mic. Reason? The microphone on these default just sucks, or maybe I just really am missing something that others don't seem to notice.įrom Day 1 testing the mic I couldn't hear a thing with all levels turned up. My only problem is I don't like to wear them for gaming, which is why I bought them. Now when I originally bought this last December I wasn't expecting miracles for $69 and they did the job audio wise of pleasing me. 1) First headset purchased intended strictly for gaming.Ģ) No idea what 'gain' really is or what it does in the technical terms.
