| Slimebeast said: So that's not a dedicateed gaming headset right? I have heard that's a good solution for best quality for your buck, and then just combine it with any external mic. But you cited two models, 588 and 598. Is there a big difference between the two? |
No they are not dedicated gaming headsets. It is an alternative option as the sound quality is quite good for not only gaming but music and movies too.
558's and 598 are very similar in look and feel. The 598's have bit higher price (Not always) and are said to have wider soundstage and slighter better highs. Most everyday people won't notice the difference. I would recommend buying them on sale. They usually have sales on them during the holiday season through Amazon and such sites. These two in particular are open-air headphones. What it means is that unlike closed headphones, the sound leaks to your surroundings. Best used at home in quieter environement.
Of course, you can research quite a lot of potential headphones and review on youtube and other sites before purchasing. Also don't buy Beats or overpriced crap like that. They look cool though, i put them on my Splatoon characters.
