>reddit says both these have been solved problems in the past ~5 years

I just booted Osu and did not notice any latency whatsoever. Maybe there is some extremely low latency, but if it is not relevant in the most intense rhythm game ever it won't be relevant in other games.

>>714982328
It's not bluetooth, it's 2.4ghz which is how they achieve no latency and high quality apparently

True on bluetooth but on 2.4ghz the difference is almost zero. I'm taking the advantages of wireless over minmaxing some bass difference that is impossible for me to notice even comparing the headsets side by side.

Wired has 5-10ms latency

2.4ghz wireless has 10-20ms latency

Bluetooth has 200ms+ latency

I agree that 2.4ghz latency is impossible to notice for a normal person, but you know how autists are. If they know there is a 5ms difference they WILL placebo their way through considering it unplayable.

the whole libz compression fiasco happened because some autist noticed that using ssh in a virtual machine that would take 200 ms was taking 230 ms on average and this resulted in a well planned, well placed malware operation thats been going on for a decade to be foiled at the last step. imagine the keks that /g/ had that day. libz compression is a big deal because the manual pages that ships with every linux distro uses them.

Batteries last at worst 150 hours and at best 400 hours. You only need to plug it in your phone's USB-C charger twice per month. I charge mine at the same time as my wireless controller.

there isn't one Bluetooth. Bluetooth latency already improved tremendously those last 10 years.
Those numbers are still horrible if they are anywhere close to truth. radio waves need less than a microsecond to pass the distance, all of that latency is caused by the emitter and receiver

HyperX is genuinely great though. Easily the best bang for your buck. There is a reason why >90% of the pros use them. I got headsets this year and looked on the non-gamer solutions. You will NOT find a non-gamer headset with decent sound space (aka surround) without an immense price tag. And the few you do find will have huge latency.

HyperX brands it as a gaming headset because they went through the effort of setting up the sound space and the low latency for a cheap budget.

if you want to spend as little as possible in a reasonable headphone that has low latency/surround + a reasonable mic it is the best option

oh forgot to mention this but this is a common myth
audio tech has been the same ever since the 70s
people really believe that traditional audio companies have some sort of "advanced tech" that gaming companies can't achieve but this is nonsense
if your headphone has decent drivers anything from here is a sidegrade, you can go for studio quality that will allow you to have several drivers simultaneously for physical audio space, capability for multiple simultaneous playbacks, and neutral bass (which is considered by consumers low quality audio, they are all used to tuning bass up the roof), all of this is extremely expensive and budget studio headphones won't waste their budget with stuff like latency or virtual audio spaces
the vidya sidegrade goes in the opposite direction and makes choices that won't make sense for a studio but make total sense for vidya, such as amping the bass for your consoooomer media, having a virtual audio space (easier than implementing 3 other drivers and doubling the price of your headphone) and so on
vidya companies won't waste their budget with stuff like simultaneous playback from multiple devices because that's not relevant for a consumer
so yes, there is a legitimate market for gaming headsets, but you need to make sure you are buying something decent (like HyperX) and not some random chinese brand that just slapped a few LEDs on a $10 headphone and called it a day

The entire modern tech infrastructure makes use of several "struts" in the form of tiny software packages that are thanklessly maintained by one or two people who aren't even paid to do so.
Some autist discovered a backdoor in one of these packages after noticing it was taking several milliseconds longer than it should.
The malware had been inserted by a chink who spent two years gaining trust with the maintainer behind the package.
It made its way into many pre-release versions of major distributions and was pretty much discovered at the very last second.

instead of spending $15 every year and a half you could drop $100 and have something much better that lasts you 10 years.
but wireless earbuds will be a pain in the ass, their battery does not last long (6 hours vs a heapdhone's 200-400 hours), they are way too small to have good spatial audio, you will get audio much worse than the same pricetag for headphones

Only bluetooth is a failed technology, anything with a dongle (2.4ghz) is fine.
If nobody here told you this, it is probably because they are retarded.

as I thought you are using studio headphones tailored for being as flat as possible so that studio people can know what their shit actually sounds like
a general purpose headphone (and this includes gaymer headphones) is created to boost bass and enhance your media consoomption
I have no idea why customers insist in using studio headphones to play vidya and watch movies but here we are, it's the equivalent of eating a hospital diet because you think it's healthier

The anon is right though, as long as you stick to the original Clouds where they just took competent headphones and slapped a mic on it, and not any of the redesigned piles of shit they came up with themselves and of course ruined.
Pic related, the OG Clouds are nothing more than Takstar Pro 80's with a mic attached, and those are pretty decent <$100 headphones.

outside of the lol bass boost fro shitty gaming headsets the audio and construction is lower quality and you're paying 4x as much for the same quality sound

In a game like warband 20ms is very noticeable for ping but you also use audio cues for blocking/attacking so if your audio is slow it stacks on top of ping. If your ping+audio is 60ms, someone at 20ms will have an advantage

Steelseries headsets have a 2nd dial that adjusts the balance of game and chat volume called chatmix that I really miss on my current headphones. Is there a software alternative to this that I can use with the knob on my keyboard? I guess it would be some kind of windows volume mixer fuckery?
