You need a good headset (or gaming headphones, if you prefer) for online gaming. Without one, you won't have a reliable way to trash-talk the competition or coordinate strategies with your team or guild. Surprisingly, gaming headsets are good tools for your home office, too. Beyerdynamic includes two different cable lengths cables; 3m and a shorter 1.8m for console gamepads, Nintendo Switch. or smart devices. These cables didn't make any noise, which was something that was present on the MMX 100. The low power requirement of 48 ohms allows you to use the DT 900 Pro X on almost anything without needing an amplifier too. Microsoft's adoption of spatial codecs is linked to their Xbox One. It is over simplification but both current consoles seem to utilise a small part of their Jaguar CPU (Sony's Mark Cerny during the PS5 unveiling talked about currently having half a Jaguar CPU core or less for their current 3D audio solution, itself less power than they had for audio with the PS3's cell processor - something Digital Foundry mentioned). Microsoft's 3D spatial solutions (Sonic/Atmos) are limited to a small number of 32 objects due to CPU limits. The approaches have been different though; Sony's hardware only 3D audio Platinum Wireless Headset for Days Gone, Horizon ZD or Uncharted 4. With Microsoft selling licenses for third-party technology beyond their own free solution; Dolby Atmos/DTS. All seem to produce similarly impressive results but the number of games supported has generation has been dire. Similar to other peripherals, like a gaming mouse or gaming keyboard, it’s always up for debate whether you should go for a wired or wireless headset. Wired always seemed to be the most reliable option, given the plug-and-play, direct connection to the device ensures latency isn’t a problem. But wireless headsets have almost conquered this issue in recent years thanks to the easy-to-use 2.4GHz dongle that slots into your console or PC, providing almost completely lossless audio. Though, there’s always the possibility of signal interference.

Listening to music is a lovely experience in the ATH-M50xSTS, which I kind of expect for an Audio Technica headset. These are essentially a rebuild of the ATH-M50x so they're brimming with that good sound DNA. The audio quality is really hard to fault especially in this price range. It's well balanced with little details shining through in songs. A little bass heavy in the way that all headsets tend to be, but it's fairly mild and the bright treble and warm tones are lovely to be immersed in.This is a 3.5mm wired headset, however, so just bear in mind that both the microphone and audio quality could be adversely affected by your motherboard's DAC/amp or whatever sound card/external device you plug it into. It shouldn't make a huge difference nowadays, even the cheapest motherboards have relatively decent audio, but worth sparing a thought for your holistic audio setup. They are software solutions. Added to other current solutions like Wave NX or Razer's software surround.
