Topic: Headphones

I'm a big fan of wearing headphones while gaming. I can't be the only one? I just played through Dead Space again and I could not image playing it with out headphones. It's just so much better.

if by headphones you mean headset as in turtle beach then yes they're essential for me.

I don't know why but the only systems that I use headphones are are handhelds like my 3DS or Vita.  I just can't bring myself to wear headphones when I am playing a home console or my PC.

100% with you there, @Splat. I don't own a 5.1 speaker set and I have a daughter, which means I usually game late in the day, so I almost always play games with my trusty AKG headphones plugged into the TV.

I love it. Especially Dead Space was super intense because of the sound. Just could play 15 min at a time back then because it was so scary.

Will definitely upgrade to a proper 5.1/7.1 headset for my PS4 this year. Having headphones with surround sound would be the icing on the cake.

Even if I had a speaker set, I'm sure I'd play with headphones most of the time anyway. I love how crisp everything sounds and how good you can pinpoint the origin of sounds, even with mere stereo.

I once was about to get a turtle beach headset for just 60$ but then realized I could just buy 4 games with that money xD
When the time comes I will eventualy get a headset/headphones.

That's part of the reason I don't use them.  I mean I can see using them for a handheld especially if you travel so as not to disturb the people around  you, but at home?  I don't know about you guys but no one wears headphones when they are watching TV or a movie.

I did  use to use a pair when I played on my PC and did raids on WoW but after a month or so they would stop working and after going through alot of headphones I just stopped wasting my money.

Yeah I could have bought a $60+ pair buy why would I use that on headphones when I can use that on a game?

I just meant regular headphones not headset. Mine were like $10 haha nothing fancy.

Yeah that's what I usually bought in the past for my PC.  Nothing special just a 10 dollar Radio Shack pair.
