    Something popped into my mind over the weekend, and I Googled but couldn't find anything. Are modern mid-range gaming headsets (the €100-€200 range) better than older high-end headsets, or vice-versa? Like, a mid range smart phone would be better than a flagship smart phone from, say, 5 years ago. Does headset tech evolve as quick?

    So, one website called the Audio Technica ATH ADG1 one of the best high end gaming headsets of 2015, coming in at $223. It can now be picked up for about €100. Would it be better than the 2018 Turtle Beach Stealth 600, which is about €100?

    A quick Google showed one at €109 yesterday, but today it's all above €160. Strange.

    Eh, i'm not too pushed on getting the best of the best, just something plug and play really. The mic is the bottom of the list of features I want, as I rarely use it.

    Just get the headphone's then. Something like a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40X's.

    I still need one, but the quality isn't very important for the amount of use I need. But still need one. For PS4. TBH, I'll most likely get the Turtle Beach Elite Pro TAC Bundle.

    I bought a wireless Astro A50 headset a number of years ago. Still doing great, a fantastic piece of headgear.

    Though pricy I've often seen it going for half price in Argos.

    Maybe look at the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X or the Sennheiser G4ME ONE (they sometimes go on sale).

    Their mic is second-to-none, and they have really nice quality-of-life design features (integrated volume control, mic turns off when raised).

    Yeah same, managed to get them last year for £105 or so (on sale).

    Also nothing wrong with the trusty Kingston HyperX Cloud if you can find them for a good price!

    I have been on the fence on wether or not to get a new pair of headphones for the ps4.

    I currently have a wired hyper x set. It's stereo and does the job.
    But is virtual surround sound worth it or is it just a gimmick.

    Seen razor thresher and steel series actics 3 one wire less and the other wired or am I just spending money for no gain.
