Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me.No-Context5479 t1_iw23l2i wrote
I don't use headphones for FPS gaming... I use IEMs. Much better suited because the soundstage isn't exaggerated like in the 800S and some other ridiculously soundstaged headphones... Not knocking on your usage... If it works for you more power to you but IEMs are much better for depth perception of how near or far enemies are in FPS games for me

I alternate between Final A4000 IEMs and my HD800S for FPS gaming, they feel different but I'm not better with the IEMs.

That's the beauty of it all... Some prefer IEMs for FPS games... Others like over ears much more... Preference is very much the order of the day😎🤝🏾

It's quite a different experience, both have extremely wide soundstage but the IEMs are closed backs and the bass is very immediate, it feels very nice but the upper mids are quite upfront and prone to irritating the ears.
The HD800S is like unlocking 4k but for audio

You do you my friend, but iems drove me nuts! Even some with good staging felt claustrophobic compared to even HD600. I’m sure with time I could get used to it though, and then the large staging would mess me up.

I'm using a Etymotic ER4S to play games, the passive noise isolation is so good and lower bass signature can make me easily pinpoint exactly where the enemy at, especially like footsteps and gun sounds.

EXACTLY MY POINT on IEM use in FPS... No overdone sense of space, precise accurate depth My teammates sometimes ask if I use ESP hacks lol

I prefer iem for one more reason, the HEAT! I admit that I'm a sweaty player, playing with Heavy cushioned/padded Headsets makes me feel nasty and overheating, especially in a humid and hot region.(for instance, im living in hk)

Also the other valid reason... I stay in the tropics so over ears I use them for short 2 hour music sessions or cinema stuff. My IEMs are for the long gaming sessions

Exuse me, but what iem you're currently using for gaming? I really wanna try some over ear iem for gaming...

IEMs by design are not over ears but the IEMs I use for gaming now are the Softears RSV and the Dunu Falcon Pro (I play Apex Legends, Valorant and CS: GO)

Same here. I use my Nio’s with the MX module and far prefer it for FPS games than my over ears.
