In my never-ending ordeal of headsets, I've come to eventually just buying a set of PC350s
Been using a set of Sennheiser HD570s for a while since my other headsets are either shit or just not good enough. Have used other Sennheiser HD ones, some various logitechs, Four (yes, 4) Steelseries Siberia V2s (they were within return periods but not refund periods so I had to take replacements for them every time they broke, which inevitably they did)
Now, I can't stress this enough. The Siberia V2s were good for music and decent for gaming. The HDs were fairly neutral and I would use them for mixing music etc. Logitechs etc weren't exactly bad but the PC350s? Well... Put it this way: it's basically a wallhack.
First impressions were they weren't bullshitting when they said these were for gaming only. The sound can feel a bit underwatery (that's the noise canceling though) , but holy shit... The stereo sound, placement and EQ on the PC350s is way beyond what I would have expected. I know lots of people don't particularly play CS1.6, but testing them quickly on deathmatch, I can literally pinpoint perfectly where someone has spawned through walls and in pits to an exact degree. I can hear enemies on the other side of the map, but not in an irritating "oh ffs, I can't hear the important sounds" but in a well defined sound and even QuakeLive sound feels defined
I can tell this headset deserves all the hype it gets
