There is nothing inherently "gaming" about a gaming headphone (Maybe weird RGB or poorly implemented surround sound). It's essentially a regular headphone with a microphone attached to it. It's not worth to pay the premium for the gamer aesthetic (for me at least), unless you are into that kind of thing.

It's more like whenever someone recommends a headphone around 150$-ish price it's always logitech or astro And I heard that it offers more precise sound positioning over other headphones, but I couldn't find actual comparisons So it felt like it doesn't really mean a lot more than a marketing thing that's why I'm asking

Watch this video by Crinacle. He explains everything about gaming headphones you need to know.

Thanks man I appreciate it

You're right. Marketing and lack of experience will have people just recommend stuff blindly. Not saying that it's wrong or anything, but something like the AKG K371 + a microphone will wipe the floor with any of those gaming headsets in the same price range.

Thanks for the help AKG K371 is going into his DMs now

>Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk > > Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

• A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

• Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

• Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

• In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.

• A more detailed explanation about this rule can be found here.

I'm certain that my post wasn’t asking for product opinions or purchase advice!
