Beyerdynamic MMX 300 – Better Sound Quality

Beyerdynamic is a well-known company among studio workers. And mostly because of its exceptional audio quality. The Beyerdynamic MMX 300 is a beast headset made for gamers.

This headset costs around 300 USD mark. And, here is why? This headset provides the best clear audio quality with the right amount of crispness, naturality, and trueness.

Its wide range of frequency responses from 5 Hz to 35,000 Hz gives more guarantee to it. For your information, the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 is a wired headset that comes with a detachable wire. Thick fabric material cushions are padded on their large-sized earcups.

It is a closed-back design, and large earcups block maximum sounds from the outside. Giving you more focus on the game, which is crucial for CS: GO players. The headset itself is very comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions.

So, if you are planning on a CS: GO nighter on the weekend, you’ll have no trouble wearing them the whole night. Not only does the audio quality amaze you, but the microphone does, too.

This microphone’s capture quality is so clear that it can easily compete with the BlueYeti microphone, a separate stand-alone microphone. Gamers only need clear communication, but Beyerdynamic went an extra mile in their microphone quality.

However, this headset is only Stereo and does not have any kind of Surround Sound. You will be able to get a good sense of positional accuracy with Stereo only, but not as good as Surround Sound.

Another thing to note is that the microphone is not detachable. The only reason why this headset is 3rd on the list is because of its price and stereo sound. Otherwise, the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 is a good contender for 1st spot.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro – Best Surround Sound

Any gaming headphone list is incomplete without a SteelSeries headset. Now, what would you call a headset that offers all gaming needs with Hi-Res audio? A beast, right?

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro is the first gaming headset that won the Hi-Res award and produced sounds with a maximum frequency of 40,000 Hz, which is huge compared to many other gaming headsets.

Now for CS: GO players, The SteelSeries provides DTS Headphone: X v2.0 Surround Sound. It will locate your in-game enemies to the exact point. As a result, you will be able to give a quicker and effective response. Besides, its Hi-FI audio quality makes sure you can.

Moreover, they also provide a mini-DAC with the set. This DAC provides 3 modes—one for Playstation, one for PC, and one for Hi-Res sound. However, do not worry. It can be used with any platform with its 3.5 mm plug.

Just enable the Hi-Res mode, and listen to your favorite music with a fully immersive experience. But, you cannot use the Microphone in the Hi-Res mode. You are also provided with a Sound Equalizer as well. You can tweak the audio settings, as well as RGB patterns on the earcups.

Speaking of which, the earcups have RGB, which will increase your in-game FPS, joking.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro has relatively thick earpads. The AirWeave ear cushions make sure you can game for hours seamlessly. The earcups can be rotated flat. You might have guessed that from the image. You can also adjust the headset for the right fit. A pull-out, Bi-directional microphone is featured in this headset.

This Noise-canceling microphone does a good job of capturing clear audio without any background noise. The microphone is not detachable. However, the Mic may capture some thumb noises. Overall, it is good. Another good thing is that it also sends a little bit of your sound to the speaker.

Which way, you will be able to know whether you are speaking in a light tone or shouting. In most closed-back headsets, you do not know how loud are you speaking. Not with this beast.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro – Wireless Option

In the game of best headsets for CSGO players, The Razer is jumping in with their elite gaming headsets. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is a wireless gaming headset. 

Well, we all know wireless headphones come with battery life issues. Not with this headset. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro offers 24 hours of playtime on continuous use.  A Micro-USB cable is used to charge it, which is outdated nowadays. You can also use them as a wired headset.

Since CS: GO is played on a PC, most gamers will use a wired connection, I Suppose. However, there is no delay in audio in wireless connection. You can connect them with your PC with a wireless USB dongle provided in the box.

Now, what do CS: GO players need? Good positional accuracy. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headset is THX verified 7.1 Surround Sound. Whether your opponent is on the right, left, or at the back, you’ll know instantly. Now let’s talk about Bass.

The Razer BS V2 Pro has a fair amount of punchy bass, but it is not overly done. Since it’s a gaming headset, Razer focused more on the treble. The sound quality is imposing. The clear and neat sound quality makes sure you can hear the footsteps of your enemy team smoothly.

The sound isolation feature also ensures you are focused on your game. You can also listen to music on them. Just remove the wire from the PC, connect them to your phones, and VIOLA!. Another cool thing is its EQ software. You can tweak the audio setting, mic’s capture settings from it.

However, I do wish there is some audio equalization system in which you do not have to launch the software every time.

A removable microphone is used on this headset. The capture quality of the mic is good. However, it could have been improved a little, given its price. This Cardioid Mic offers passive noise-canceling. You will have a good time communicating with your teammates.

As far as comfort goes, you can wear them for long gaming sessions thanks to its thick headband padding, and infused-gel cooling ear cushions. The ear cushions are breathable. The easy-to-adjust headband also ensures the correct fit on your head.

Compare These Headsets

Sennheiser Game Zero vs HyperX Cloud 2

HyperX Cloud 2 and Sennheiser Game Zero are both my top picks on this list. Most of you might get confused on which one to choose between these two. I will make it easier for you to choose between both.

Both headphones have their own Pros&Cons. The Sennheiser Game Zero covers a wide range of frequency response, which is 15Hz to 28kHz. On the other hand, HyperX Cloud 2 has a frequency response of 15Hz to 25kHz. Therefore, Sennheiser has 3kHz to high frequency response then HyperX.

However, the HyperX Cloud 2 has an edge over Game Zero in positional accuracy. The HyperX Cloud 2 offers 7.1 Surround Sound while the Sennheiser Game Zero has Stereo Sound only. Therefore, the HyperX Cloud II makes it easier for you to locate the enemies through footsteps.

On the other hand, the Sennheiser Game Zero has better mic quality as compared to HyperX.

Speaking of similarities, Both of these headphones are Closed-Back and Over-Ear. And generally speaking, both of them are good for csgo players.

SHOULD YOU TRUST PROFESSIONALS WHILE GETTING A HEADPHONE?

Well, the answer is simple. They are gamers like you. They are not experts in choosing a headphone. They might be using certain headphones because they worked for them. It does not mean the same headphone will work perfectly for you. Everyone has their own taste.

And, that is why we have listed quite a few headsets for you to choose from. Also, the professional players are also sponsored to show a certain brand. It is a good strategy for manufacturers to promote their products. Most people tend to trust pro player’s decisions.

However, you can check your favorite pro player’s headphones, and check their quality, and then buy them. Oftentimes, a good product is given to the pro players for sponsorship. Also, for the sake of their respect, A Pro player will never sponsor a bad product.

What Makes A Headset Good For CSGO? Buying Guide

There are some things that a CS: GO player should look at in a headset before buying. In fact, if you play any other FPS game, you can also consider checking these things. That’s because these things will help you greatly in games.

And, they awaken your inner abilities by making you more confident in yourself. Professional Gamers often say that even a 0.1% advantage over your opponent can turn the game in your favor. As you know, in professional gaming, both sides are equally talented, which ends up giving a tough competition.

In such cases, small things like latency, hardware performance, and action delay can turn the game in their favor as well.

COMFORT AND DURABILITY

These are things that you should check in any headphones, whether you are buying them for gaming, listening to music, watching movies, or for your work. As for gamers, we all love to play games with our friends.

And, in the worst-case scenario, your headset starts hurting your ears, and you cannot continue to wear them any longer. I know it’s frustrating. That is why we recommend getting a headset that is comfortable to wear for a long duration. Durability is the same kind of thing as well. You don’t want to replace your headphone over and over again.

Try to find durable headphones so that you can take a breath of relaxation and save your money. I don’t think it needs any more explanation.

SOUND QUALITY

Now, that’s a tricky part as well. For CS: GO players, it is recommended (by me) not to go with deep and heavy bass headphones.

Instead, try to find more treble-oriented headsets. The clear, easy-to-understand, and response treble will allow you to hear your opponents’ footsteps and other activities more easily.

Yeah! Some Bass is good, but not like a subwoofer fitted in a headset. If you want more clear audio of your in-game opponents, go with good treble headphones.

SURROUND SOUND VS. STEREO

It is a long-debated topic, whether the Surround sound is better or stereo. The simple answer is, it depends. Both are for giving a sense of the direction of the sound. Which is crucial for a CS: GO, player.

You need to know from which direction your opponent is coming. Both, Stereo and Surround Sound are for that purpose. The Surround sound provides for informative sound positioning. It is capable of sound on the base of any direction around.

While the Stereo is only capable of creating sounds in front, back, right, and left. However, both type uses two earcups to generate sound. Therefore, there is not much of a difference. But, A good surround sound is always better than a Stereo sound. There is more to it when it comes to Surround Sound vs. Stereo, but I’ve tried to keep the answer simple as possible.

WIRED OR WIRELESS

Most professional gamers prefer wired technology for their gaming, whether it’s a mouse, keyboard, controller, or headphone. Wired headphones are always best for gaming. Why? Because they have less audio delay.

Even a millisecond of audio delay can cost you a gaming-winning headshot in FPS games. Besides, you won’t have to worry about battery life. However, that does not mean wireless headphones are bad. Some wireless headphones offer lesser audio delay than many wired headphones. You just have to look for them.

Like Razer, BlackShark V2 Pro offers bare minimum audio delay, just like wired headphones. The decision is up to you.

MICROPHONE

A microphone is a basic need of an online gamer. And, in games like Counter-Strike, it is always best to stay in contact with your teammates. It will increase your team play and end-up winning you a game. However, a bad-quality microphone will end up ruining the game and focus of your teammates.

A microphone of a gaming headset should be good enough for at least clear communication. Or you can opt to go with a separate microphone. But in that case, try finding a headphone without a microphone. That way you will get a headphone with more excellent sound quality. There is a difference between the gaming headset and headphones. In any case, the microphone’s capture quality should be clear.
