    Summary: Headset performs perfectly if you have an external mic. He hates having to charge it so that’s why he says no. If you have a mic and don’t mind charging then they’re about a 9.5/10

    These are my eq settings for gaming (search the official app):

    2.5khz: 6
    6.3khz: 10
    16khz: 7
    Bass: 10
    Note that these values are adapted to the volume of my Windows which is 24, so they may vary a bit depending on your own volume. For best customization, I strongly recommend to enable double device connection and test the different options on your own. I put everyting on 5 by default and then proceeded to move up and down the values and repeat same ingame sounds again and again.

    @Swecan76 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If they actually sound great powered on with PC gaming. I don't see the issue. The battery last 30 hours. Takes about 3.5 hours for a full charge from empty. And hence you'd charge before that so even less time charging. And gaming 8-10 hours a day. That is 3 days gaming. Then when you're sleeping plug in a cable. Doesn't sound all that complicated.
    The kind of cool part it does have preamps built in. DSEE for clean sound. I would be more concerned about how is the soundstage.
    I am actually contemplating these not for PC gaming foremost. But for my Bravia 9 TV for 3D sound playing Netflix/Prime and Kodi etc. I can't crank any soundbar so headphones are a must.
    So if these sound nice and clean and great 3D sound. They are a keeper for that alone. If as Bonus they can also be used on my PC with the Sennheiser GSX1200 surround and powered on sounding great. That just ups the value for these expensive headphones a lot.

    Honestly, wireless over bluetooth on PC is still fine. I use my XM4s with a good bluetooth 5.0 usb dongle by TP-LINK which you can get for just over SG$10 and the latency is negligible if any.

    Spent 2 days trying to understand this "400$ luxury sound" experience after my old Hyper X cloud, earbuds xm4 and pixel buds pro.
    So this is appeared to be expected result - cable sound is muddy and muffled. So I can't fix this because this is intended.
    Wifi sound has delay and also when using mic it may switch to headset mode with very veird noise optimized for zoom calls.
    I should have bought Hyper X cloud 2 or whatever is next to my old Hyper X cloud. The quality was just good and it had both wired/bluetooth decent options.
    And now I'm sitting with Sony XM5 connected via cable but turned on at the same time with external mic on my table. What a loser.

    My pc is as loud as a vacuum cleaner if not louder because of the blower type 3090 I have in it
    Which gaming headset should I buy them? I need the ANC feature.
    Right now I have a sennheisser 550 headset but I can hardly hear anything because of the roar my gpu makes
