Need a wireless headset with USB connection as i only have onboard sound will be used for gaming and sometimes streaming movies.

Have been looking at the Steelseries 840 (on sale here £190) but if i could save some money and get something half decent for 100 quid i would be happy.

Not interested in music quality purely gaming.
 
Actually binaural sound needed for good gaming immersion has specific much more demanding than any stereo music requirements.
Stereo music forgives lot in sound quality without sounding instantly bad.
While binaural sound fast gives head in bucket under water level immersion.
Even famous for music HD650 Sennheisers would be just average for gaming.

And closed design is even worser, without it being bling blinged cheap Chinese trinket.
Which is basically what 99+% of gaming stuff is, regardles of wired or wireless.
While in wired headphones little over £100 gives very good choises for gaming, including some of the best headphones for picking direction and distance of sounds.

Ok if i went for on board sound and wired what would you recommend.
 
Ive got a set of Corsair 1500s which i havent got any complaints about to be honest, just getting a bit tatty,

Have been looking at the AKGs but wasnt looking to get a soundcard, would these be wasted with onboard?
 
i got some AKG702 ordered in the end, after looking for the last month it was between them and hifiman edition s in the end. Going to try with the onboard and if im not happy get a soundcard.
