Do you use headphones in SH4?

jgbishop · 02-12-08, 10:13 AM

I find that the game sounds are pretty quiet through my Klipsch speakers. As such, when I fire up SH4, I pull out my super-great Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones (best headphones ever).

What does everyone else do?

I hooked up a Bose Speaker System. Let' just say the sounds of gun fire got some neighbours thinking.

No, need to hear the kids in case they wake up

I play at night most of the time, my wife is usually sleeping by then

Not as of yet but I sure would love more suggestions on a good headset from people using them. I have an awesome 5.1 surround system but the PC is in the living room with the TV and the darn kids crank it

Sennheiser headphones for me

Makes me feel like I'm right there!

Avgear surround sound headphones for me. True immersion and as loud as I like. My dear wife complained about machine gunning in Call of Duty and MOHAA

Right now I'm not really playing per se. I use the cheap speakers I bought years ago. I'll probably use headphones when I get serious again.

I use Zalman 5.1 surround headphones, but those are on the way out. I'll be getting a set of Medusa 5.1's with my tax return.

Bose home theater system.

But if I do use headphones it will be my Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor . . . excellent rich sound and the most comfortable ever. Only about $100. I just bought a pair for work . . . the ones I have at home are over 15 years old and still work (the cushion around the ears has almost disintegrated, though).

Always have had a decent amp hooked to my PC and use Headphones. But went wireless with a few years back and can’t go back to wired head phones.

I can getup and walk around and not tear my head off from the cord. Its nice on a trip to the fridge so I can still hear any calls by the crew. And the sound is so much more immersive without the outside noise.

I gots surround sound on my PC and you'll be surprized at what sounds you can hear in the rear channels.

I use Grado SR60 headphones, they are aaaaaammmmmmazing!

Rockin Robbins · 02-12-08, 08:04 PM

Creative 5.1 sound system: awesome and loud!

I mainly use my logitech Z-5500 speakers or when the wife is sleeping my Sennheiser headphones
