I am regularly the first to identify the presence and location of enemies in multiplayer games with friends, purely based on audio. Using audio to outplay opponents on my 370s has been easier and more intuitive than on anything I've used before.
The excuse that "gaming" headsets are "optimized" for footsteps or are improved by the "virtual surround" software they often come with, is bs.
I completely agree. My game go to for this is Tarkov. Audio is so crucial in that game and I could not name the amount of times I could place exactly where someone was approaching from. Can't say the same since I switched to the Steelseries. This convo is making me want to go buy another Sennheiser lmfao.
