How to choose a gaming headset？
We need to know before buying a gaming headset---What is a gaming headset.
What exactly are gaming headsets? Why are gaming headsets "e-sports"? Presumably this will be the biggest question of players when they buy gaming headsets for the first time. "Can't you play with ordinary headsets or music headphones?" It's not like that, but in fact, the biggest difference between gaming headphones and general headphones is the ability of gaming to provide accurate listening and positioning.

Originated from e-Sports competitions
The main key point of the rise of gaming headsets is the prosperous part of the entire e-sports industry: e-sports competitions. Now that we talk about e-sports competitions, let's take a look at the current e-sports competitions. The most common ones are MOBA games like "League of Legends". Shooting games are also a big deal. Occasionally you will see racing games. The more recent topic may be that auto chess is also ready to be included in e-sports competitions. As for the e-sports competition of mobile games, it is still in development.
Looking back, since the types of e-sports competitions are still dominated by MOBA and shooting games at this stage, computer peripheral manufacturers will naturally design related gaming products based on these game types. For example, If you are a player who loves to play MOBA games, you need to pay special attention to the processing of sound details by the headset itself before purchasing gaming headsets. Especially in large team battles, players must be able to accurately hear the source of any character shouting skills or moves direction, etc. At this time, even if the player does not buy a special gaming headset, but uses a general mobile phone with a headset or a general game headset, they can still have good sound performance. But if you really want to accurately identify the direction and source of the sound, you must choose a professional gaming headset.

Possess the ability to hear and distinguish
Compared with general high-end music headsets or mobile phone headsets, the biggest key difference between gaming headsets is that they are optimized for the ability to hear and identify positions. This feature is especially important in shooting games, because when shooting in the game world, the ear is the second eye of the player. Whether it is a popular battle royale game or a competitive shooting game, sound has always been the most important key factor. The sound of gunshots, explosions, and even environmental sound effects caused by guns and ammunition are all key points in shooting games that can bring players the location of the enemy. In fact, this is also the same as the special forces in the real world. The most important thing when it comes to sound is the same. For example, if you've played Rainbow Six or the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you'll quickly understand the proportion of sound in a shooter, sometimes even more accurate than gun control. Even more important, at this time, whether the headset used by the player can accurately provide the sound source to the player is likely to be the key to the outcome.

Sound direction and detail
What are the sources of sound details that players need to pay attention to when trying out gaming headsets to play games? First of all, the basic directions such as up, down, left, right, front, and back must be clearly identified. Whether it is the sound of footsteps upstairs or someone shooting behind you, it must be accurately identified, although not every game does it in terms of sound performance. It's perfect, but gaming headsets can basically make up for this shortcoming, thereby providing players with a hearing that is better than others.
Furthermore, the distance is also a very important observation point. If the enemy shoots at your side and shoots at a distance, there should be a clear difference in the sound of the two. Players may not be able to accurately judge the distance between the distant enemy and themselves. Distance (after all, each game is different), but if you can know the approximate distance (generally speaking, the duller the sound of gunfire, the farther you are), in order to preemptively grab the opportunity to defeat the enemy and win, don’t forget what I just mentioned, the ear It is the second eye of the player in shooting games.
The last is the sound quality processing of the earphone itself for the details, which are divided into two categories.
First, when players are in a large group shootout, they still need to be able to accurately distinguish the sound of guns and explosions, and even the crisp landing sound of a grenade being thrown at their feet, etc. Gaming headsets are faced with such mixed sounds. Mixed sounds together should be handled properly, and should not be blurred by the simultaneous appearance of sounds.
Another point is the actual detail processing. When there is an enemy around or moving upstairs in a crouching or crawling posture, the gaming headset must provide the player with detailed sound effects, so that the player can understand "There is someone upstairs!" This thing, and more importantly, if the headset can make the player say "there are three people upstairs!" This means that this is a very good gaming headset, because it is not only good at sound details. , at the same time in the processing of mixed sound and orientation is also excellent.
