If you had unlimited money and were tasked to buy the best PC gaming headset, what would you get?
The Audeze LCD-GX is currently the best gaming headset you can get, at least as far as I'm aware. A great and much more budget friendly option is Beyerdynamic MMX-300 Pro.

2042 had dynamic weather and they didn't give a fuck💔💔💔
True, because whenever I shit on BF6 positional/directional audio I always get roasted in the chat; "It works for me, I even play on a Macbook" "Get a better headset" Like...tell me you never played BF before lmao. I have a Schiit Gunnr DAC/AMP + Audeze LCD GX combo, it's a nice setup tbh. Positiona

Nova Elites are they worth it?
My brother in audio... Absolutely not. They're really pretty for a gaming headset, and you can flex on peasant gamers, but $600 for a pair of Steelseries is insane. For $600, you could build a wired home setup that will sound literally ten times better, and still have enough left over for a decent w

whats the best headset for gaming??
Honestly? If you are willing to spend the money, Audeze makes a Maxwell headset that has 90mm transducers. Or if you are on PC, Audeze LCD-GX has 106mm transducers. These are very high quality. But if you are more interested in budget friendly, Lucid Sound makes decent headsets. I would avoid Turtle

[Tech Support] - Does the perfect cross between these two headsets exist?
The only modern open-backed wireless headphones I know of are the Turtle Beach Atlas Airs. I'm not sure on the sound quality myself as the brand isn't as popular in my country but reviews on them are generally favourable as far as gaming headsets go. Gadgetry Tech over on YouTube has a pretty thorou
