I've been burned several times by products that had the word "gaming" attached to them. Gaming chairs? A fucking scam. Gaming headsets? Overpriced and either overbuilt or poor quality. Gaming mice? The only one that hasn't disappointed me is the G502.
And on the topic of headsets, allow me to introduce this wanker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_gf8TZ1M6g
I bought the Samson SR850, which is a budget studio headset, after watching that video, and compared to my previous HyperX Cloud Flight (the good HyperX before HP bought and ruined the brand), it's a massive improvement in sound stage and audio quality both in music and games. The construction is dead simple - wired, no built-in mic or volume knob, which might be a deal breaker for some - but it's a lot sturdier than the Cloud Flight. The only thing I don't like is the velvet-covered ear pads that soak up head sweat and grease like a sponge.
