DS3 again with some epic bosses

hello fellow gamers, my name is john, been a long time pc gamer(my first serious games were red alert 2 & aoe 2) and after a thread on reddit a user from here suggested i sign up cause it's a nice community and we can discuss stuff here properly without karma farming etc thanks @BO7H B4RRELS for the suggestion

I used to be an audiophile dick (before age and Led Zepp caught up with my hearing) and, after a brief flirtation with Koss open backs, I stuck with Sennheisers..still got a pair of HD 480Classics kicking around. Love 'em

Like with many things you can't say the Sennheisers are better because of x, y or z because there's a trade off and personal choice. Objectively speaking, the Sennheisers are an open back design so they come with the advantages of a more open and natural sound. As Phil said above too, they also help keep your ears cooler as air can circulate out of the cups. The open back design comes with a disadvantage though - they don't isolate you as much so outside noise will be heard more with open back vs closed back (like the Astros). The open / closed also applies to what you're listening to leaking out - open means more sound will leak for others to hear and closed are more isolating. I can't comment to newer A40's or A50's but way back when I bought mine, the PC360's used to review as one of, if not the, best gaming headsets available both in sound and quality and I can't imagine much has overtaken them unless you're talking silly money. Subjectively, I only got to try the A40's in a shop for fit and comfort and I much preferred the PC360's though I do accept I have an unusually large head so maybe that was something to do with it. I didn't get to try the Astro's for sound when I tried them on so I can't spead directly to their sound. However, even compared to very good closed back headphones I own, I much prefer the open back sound. The open backs give a feeling of openess (duh!) so they're more like having speakers close to you than having the sound in your head. I also find the sound quality of the open back much more natural and less bass heavy that a lot of closed back suffer from. I also find I can listen to music on open back headphones a lot longer than closed - this isn't a physical comfort thing of actually wearing the headphones, it's almost like an ear strain. I realise I probably sound like such an audiophile dick now though so I'm going to stop talking and go back to my 10 pairs of headphones 😆

That's a great bargain for anyone who doesn't have it! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Nice Phil, you’ll have to let us know what you think of the PC360’s 🙂

Welcome to FG man, nice to see you coming over. Couldn't agree with Tommy but that's obvs 😄 (and Phil's right, he's the worst 😉) You exclusively on PC or do you dabble on any other platform? Ever tried Vermintide 2 or Sea of Thieves? Just a couple of games I know we've had fun with for a few people here on PC. Hope you enjoy your stay and get involved where you can.

i mainly prefer single player games, both new and old, as for multiplayer games currently i play rainbow 6 siege mainly, sometimes league of legends although the toxicity turns me off it after a while

This game usually pops up in the Steam sales for around £13 so I may have a look next time. I've always noticed it ever since its early access days but never got round to trying it.

glad i bought it last night and managed to get a couple of games in. I can see some long nights being spent on this.
