Many gaming enthusiasts, myself included, would be quick to credit the Sennheiser PC150 as THE headphones for gaming, but having tested the Beyerdynamic DT234Pro headset, I’ve had a pleasant change of heart.
Beyerdynamic DT 234 PRO - Headset ( ear-cup )
If you’re looking to enhance your gaming experience with superior sound quality and a decent mic to boot, the DT234 Pro surpasses expectations affordably at under $100.
Brings computer games to life
The bass on the DT234 is superb and adds a nice boost to explosion and shooting sounds during a game.
The DT234 also gives outstanding fidelity. Enemies creeping in on you won’t stand a chance as this headset delivers the slightest hint of a whisper.
The microphone is attached on a sturdy and flexible arm, so I’m confident it won’t snap off easily. Sound quality on the mic is also pretty decent and is a lot more convenient than having a standing mic on your desk or a clip-on lapel mic.
The DT234 also doesn’t have sound leakage, which is a major plus since it won’t leak audio from the earcups into the attached microphone.
Comfortable use, minimal pressure – ideal for extended use
This headset feels very comfortable over the head and around the ears. It rests nicely on top of the ears and places pressure on the bottom of the earlobe, rather than on top of it. This makes extended use a lot more comfortable, especially if you’re prone to gaming for hours on end.
I also found minimal ‘warming’ of the ears even after wearing the DT234 for 6 hours continuously (I’m a serious gamer, what can I say!). Many headphones usually feel hot after an hour of use, but not the DT234, which are one of the most comfy sets I’ve tried.
If the mic on the DT234 had an on/off switch, then these would be absolutely perfect for gaming.
Crazy bargain for a superb set
The Beyerdynamic DT234Pro headset is a steal, going for under $100 at Amazon. There’s limited stock so gamers, check it out fast at Amazon.
