How do you listen to SHIII

[Teufelschiff]

I was frustrated with my cheap headphones and decided to splurge a little this past weekend.

Fired up the Jeep and off to the supply hut! I picked up a set of Altec Lansing 3d w/mic headphones for a hundred. Schmerzen!

Holy [censored] [censored].

Unreal. The 3d Surround Sound is crap your bdu's amazing. When you get pinged - you get PINGED. I also use the Internal Life mod and it sounds great.

I then installed the voice command mods and free voice software, and it was a very easy process. I did a minor tweak so that I have an open mic and don't have to press a hotkey to speak.

I highly recommend high-end phones and playing SH3 with voice command. There were a few commands that it wouldn't recognize for me, so I went back to Shoot and did a few of the voice training sessions so the software picks up my voice and speech patterns better.

Alles Gute!

Altec cheepie speakers, but a light set of headphones at night and when using hydraphones.........have an old pair of Koss headphones from the 70's, bulky, heavy as crap, but they sound amazing...just cant do em for long periods.

I was unable to vote, but wanted to say that I'm using headphones... :ping:

7.1 here.

Headphones for me, much better for listening to faint prop sounds.

Having a good HP from Sennheiser helps even more. :up:

[Takeda Shingen]

Speakers for everything except hydrophone.

Speakers for everything except hydrophone.

Interesting. How do you do that? Do you have speakers and headphones plugged in simultanously, or do you switch every time you use the hydrophones?

Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers for me.....single guy with my own house.....send the girlfriend back to hers, crank it up, and feel the BOOM!

Head phones :|\

For ultimate immersion I choose headphones. There are no other background noises to dristract you. When I'm cruising on the surface and the waves are lapping up on the boat and the seagulls are making noises all over the roar of the diesels I can almost smell the sea water sometimes.

:rock: AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE! :smug:

[elcid]

Speakers - 6.1 Bose Acoustimass. I hooked up my PC to the A/V receiver. Large guns really sound like large guns man, you can feel it in the chest :sunny:

Good thing I have no neighbors.. although I can't imagine why

Head phone at night when the wife is sleeping, Logitech THX 5.1 when the coast is clear! ........ :|\

[von Buelow]

Speakers - day/when wife not home

Headset/mic - night/multiplayer/hydrophone ops

[Redbear]

Both. Speakers most of the time, but if I take over the hydrophone, I plug in the headphones.

Logitech Z-5300 5.1's, everything sounds great, nice pan effects; even get crew updates off the appropriate speaker depending on what im lookin at.

[SmokinTep]

Headphones when the wife is home, massive speakers when she's not.

I use headphones all the time - I find it more immersive, and with earphones I'm never worried about disturbing others.

... my hears ...hu hu hu....

[BladeHeart]

I don't remember voting on this, but the vote button is missing and I can see the result? :o

Anyway, like many others, headphones when it will disturb others, otherwise speakers. :)

Occasionally I use headphones when I am using the hydrophones myself as I find it easier to detect ships at extreme range. :ping:
