I know these aren't gaming headphones (no mic, no surround) but do they sound decent in games?

I bought these as an all-purpose set of headphones, but I use them 80% for gaming and 20% for music/TV/etc. I mostly play multiplayer, also. In my opinion, they sound stunning in games. I can hear sounds in these that I can't with other headphones (mostly ones that cost less than $100).In AC4 multiplayer for example, there are sounds that give you indications about your pursuers and targets that are clearer with these than others.Surround would be nice but I'd have to pay a lot more to get it. As far as the mic goes, for $10 you can buy a cheap headphone/mic adapter and a mic to go with these (can also spend more on better quality ones, though). Anyway, hope this helps.

These are definitely the best sounding headphones I've tried on, I am also a pretty avid gamer (SC2, BF, etc) and they sound amazing.

I'm using it for recording and they sound great! You can hear all the details in these.

I have used them for gaming when my regular headphones broke, but not for regular use. If u had nothing else, I guess they would be fine, but not as a first choice. You can still hear too much background noise. Hope that helps! : )

I use them to watch all sorts of things, in addition to playing games. The headphones don't feature hardware-based surround (just stereo), but they get the job done and sound good. As long as your stereo supports 3.5mm jacks, you'll be fine by default. The headphones should come with a gold-plated amp adapter, too.

I would think so. I've used them for movies and such. You have to mess around with the volume because dialogue tends to get muddy, though. But once you get it set they work well for movies so I'm assuming they will work well for gaming.

They are pretty good when using them. They aren't 100% noise canceling. But you will notice a difference compared to most headphones.

Yess, they actually do. and they do work pretty well. i use them all the time when playing battlefield 4 or advanced warfare.

They seem Genuine to me. I was slightly skeptical at first too, but so far they haven't broken or anything. The bass and clarity is very good, and I feel I can say that because I own turtle beach headsets as well and these I would have to say are slightly better than the turtle beaches.

Hi William. I'm not a audiophile by any means, but the highs on these specific headphones seem to be okay for their price. Hope this helps.

I know that you are skeptical of these earphones being a surround sound but they truly are. If you have never used them, give them a try and you will see what I mean. It works the same way that simulated surround sound works. Yes it is not true surround sound, but it sounds better than any other pair of headphones I have used.

I would say so. The surround sound is definitely not as good as a headphone or a system but it's decent. What you hear also depends on the quality of your music and I say I am enjoying mine so far.

Unfortunately, i have not had the chance to play games with them since i use them for my office. However, they sound very good when playing music from my Jango account. The bass is very good for this system that i have to turn it down on the sub.

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music.

No, they're audiophile headphones in stereo, and if you game more thai you listen to Music just get a Logitech G35 or Logitech G430. Hope this helped :)

They work great for gaming. They are almost like lite surround sound. You can hear enemies and gunshots from the left and right speakers independantly (trust me it is confusing when you accidentally put your speakers on your desk backwards. I am sure there are much better speakers but it is quite good and effective for the price. So to answer your original question...8...just 8.

Don't know about gaming, have listened for hours, no fatigue, Klipsch horn tweeters are a bit bright but I personally favor the crisp clean tone, I hear after several months use they tend to mellow a bit. Plenty of bass but then I do use a 12" sub with these.

Sure, why not!? Perfect for gaming, pro audio, live sound, whatever. No built in microphone, so if you are using them to communicate with other people, not a good choice. For listening only. Hope this helps...
