Reply to comment by Injoemomma in Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me. by [deleted]

You might be right about him, but still, trying to gate on people flexing in a subreddit where you're very welcome to do that is really dumb. We're here to flex on our nice audio stuff, be it expensive or cheap.

Yet, he ain't wrong, imo, about the headphones for gaming part. Of course, I pretty much assume OP already have a high-end setup, with a 4090 or something.

So what if you already have the best monitor, gpu, cpu, keyboard, and mouse? And the only thing left is the end all be all headphones for gaming? Huh? Exactly. Nobody is saying good gear, is going to make you pro. At the end of the day, good gear is an advantage. If you up against someone with similar skill and you have better headphones, you will have an advantage. By definition of course. I game on the latest 360hz monitor. Will I beat a pro on a 144hz? No. Will I have an advantage over a similar skilled player with a 144 or 240hz? Yes, I will. Just like oP, I didn’t skim out on Anything. So why buy garbage earbuds or headphones for gaming? He is a hater. Haters gonna hate. It’s what they do best.

Only if you're up against people with poor game sense, aim and stuff.

I'm not saying that upgrading headphones shouldn't be done or anything, I'm just saying that high-end headphones, especifically, don't portray any advantage whatsoever while gaming. It's just how it is.

And even in some games, like APEX, you're actually better with some apple earpods and using audio compression than with god tier DT 1990's or something.

The same applies to keyboard, it just needs to be NKRO and not have any double-click problem and you're fine, it's not a precision peripheral, like a mouse or monitor.

>Will I have an advantage over a similar skilled player with a 144 or 240hz? Yes, I will.

As I've said, it's not comparable. It's like saying that you got and advantage over the other same skill level player because you were with your foot on a support.

Most game audios are crap, the difference a headphone will make can only go so far, and it's not far at all in current competitive games audio engines.

Again, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to upgrade you audio for competitive game, it might be though, I'm just saying it won't give you any advantage.

>Again Since you are slow

Now you're hating on me just because I disagree with you.

Again, unless the "similar skilled" players are two dumb silver/gold/plat skilled players, that don't have any game sense, you might get an advantage, and even so, only if the game have a good audio engine, like R6S, not in games like Valorant, APEX and most other competitive games, where audio engine is just pure garbage, where having an HD800S might distract you instead of help, because instead of just hearing the fucking footsteps, you're hearing a lot more, useless, distratcting information.

And I'll not discuss it anymore, I feel like you won't get my point, and I'll not get yours either.

Oh, nice a mysoginist, probably incel judging by that comment, now that makes sense.

​

>By definition, having a headset that allows you to hear footsteps better than someone with inferior headphones, does give you an advantage.

How hard can it be to understand that if you play a game, and you have a bare minimum ammount of awareness and developed game sense, a better headphone won't give you any advantage against another player at that same level of awareness and game sense development, aim, etc., etc.

You need to hear he's moving, you'll know the locations he might come after you.

And advantage is a better ping (or worst, in games like Valorant and Overwatch), less input delay, better game sense, high refresh rate with low pixel transition times, stable frame rates for consistent delay. That's an advantage in competitive games.

But they're wrong!

Disagreeing with someone is fine, being toxic is not.

Don't impede reasonable discussion or vilify based on what you or the other person believes or knows to be true.

Look at what they said!

Responding to a person breaking Rule 1 does not grant a pass to break the same rule. Everyone is responsible for their own participation on r/headphones.

Violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban.

> If you have all that already, why not top it off with a high end headphone?

You should do that, if that's what you want, will not give you an advantage in a decent balanced scenario though, the other guy with his apple earbuds or even worse, KZ Zest's, will be in the same page as you, maybe will be even in a better spot, judging by CS audio engine.

> I have a 7k pc, the latest Ben q 360hz monitor that is the absolute best for counterstrike, the best internet in my location, the best mouse… Again little girl brain: Two similar skilled players, exactly the same, exact equipment, other than headphones of course. The one with the better headphones for footsteps will have an advantage.

Answered above.

Good thing Relay let me read deleted comments, if not I'd never new I was talking to the Alpha ruler of them all.

Your necessity to backup your answers by stating you're a superior male made me laugh.
