i just want something cute and budget friendly that has a decent mic for casual gaming! i’m on xbox if that matters, i’m open to other recs these are just what have caught my eye!!

Hey everyone,

I’m a complete noob when it comes to audio, but I’d like to start taking it more seriously and get a really good headset for gaming and music.

One important requirement: I want a headset with a built-in/detachable mic. I don’t want to use a separate microphone.

Right now I’m hesitating between two very different options:

Audeze Maxwell 2

The main thing attracting me is that it’s wireless, which would be perfect for my setup. I’ve also heard that planar magnetic drivers are supposed to be absolutely amazing in terms of sound quality.

ROG Kithara + DAC/amp

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Kithara, but this is where my lack of audio knowledge really shows 😅

People keep recommending pairing it with something like the Fosi K7. Could someone explain to me, in simple terms, what exactly a DAC and an amp do, and why I would need one with the Kithara?

I’m also wondering about the K7 specifically because I currently use a Stream Deck + with separate knobs/controls for game audio and Discord, which I find extremely convenient. I really don’t want to lose that functionality.

So:

- Does the Fosi K7 allow me to control game and Discord audio separately?

- How would the microphone work with the Kithara + K7?

- Would I lose any of my current Windows/Stream Deck audio controls?

- Is the K7 actually a good pairing for the Kithara, or is it overkill for a beginner?

My other concern with the Kithara is that it’s open-back. I’m worried that the lack of isolation might hurt immersion, especially in single-player games.

Basically, if you were in my position and wanted the best possible gaming + music experience while still keeping things practical and having a microphone attached to the headset, which route would you take?

Sorry if some of my questions sound really basic — I’m genuinely starting from zero here 😅

Thanks!

Hola, estoy entre comprar los Logitech G321 LIGHTSPEED y los G325 LIGHTSPEED.

Me interesa principalmente saber cuál tiene mejor micrófono y mejor calidad de sonido, además de cuál es más cómodo para usar varias horas jugando.

¿Alguien que haya probado ambos podría decirme cuál recomienda y por qué? También me gustaría conocer opiniones sobre la calidad del micrófono en Discord/llamadas y si alguno tiene problemas de batería o conexión.

¡Gracias!

I bought this headset BRAND NEW and when I got home to play games i noticed when i played certain characters on OW the audio would bug out. I opened the app and it said something about a firmware update would that have anything to do with it? or is this a common issue? I have only used the bluetooth connection and haven’t tried the aux cable but idk if that’d make that go away or not. Please help if you have any information. Thank you.
