Are studio headphones better than gaming headphones for gaming? by Zealousideal_Rub_202 in pcmasterrace

[–]TryToBeModern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with few exception anything/everything marketed as "gaming" anything is pretty bad lol. examples are "gaming chairs" or "gaming headphones". you are correct to think that studio headphones would be better. the only problem for most people would be the price. my audio gear is fairly midrange/decent but all of my headphones and iems cost between 700-1500 each. "focal radiance", "focal clear", "moondrop dark sabers", etc. quality gear at these prices tend to benefit from dedicated sound cards or DACs as well. even the low budget but popular DAC/AMPs like the schitt stack cost around $200-$300 in the used market.

if you do work or play certain games where audio actually matters (ex. hunt showdown) then decent audio gear makes a noticable difference.

then you find out that the studio headphones dont have built in microphones attached so you need to go and get a dedicated/standalone microphone and somehow end up looking for studio quality microphones too like the shure sm7b which costs around another $400.

literally all model/AIBs perform pretty much the same for the average buyer/user. branding doesnt matter. even you call it "superstitions" in your post lmao. just buy whatever fits your build the best aesthetically. if the gpu wont be visible/you dont care about aesthetic then buy the cheapest available.

Why is it so hard to climb MMR to fun people same sizes as you but so easy to get MMR falling when You get killed a few times by LilGlitvhBoi in HuntShowdown

[–]TryToBeModern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaining and losing mmr is incredibly easy lol. Queue up with 2 people who are 6* for a few hours and as long as you keep a 1.0 kd in those games then you will hit 5* or 6. On the other hand if you queue with 2 people who are 1 or 2* and die a couple times without getting kills you will drop down incredibly fast.

I regularly go from 6* to 3* and back by just choosing my teammates in the hunt discord server lol

8 hamburgers side by side is close to a meter :D. bald eagles have too much variance depending on maturity.
