I would still go for the 751 personally. Save your money for a better amp in the future. Plus I hear that sound thing has problems with QC.
Another thing you could do is get the original of the Cooler Master which is the Takstar Pro 82. That has little bass boost sliders on it so you can change how much bass you are getting. Pretty neat little feature imo.
Also another headphone that you might like is the Sivga SV006. Fairly good imaging too. They also are just as comfy and look quite nice with real wood cups.
Ye it has bass ports but also it required slim 4-pin 2.5mm cable. Replacing such thing will be a pain. 751 has 3.5mm and detachable microphone that is actually really damn good.
2.5mm aren’t actually that hard to find. Lots on Amazon and Aliexpress that are pretty slim.
I guess if the microphone is needed then it is a good bonus but if you actually want a mic that is high quality then get a desktop mic, i.e. a used Blue Snowball or Blue Yeti.
Sorry but I can’t allow that. Snowball is a terrible mic especially for it’s price.
Blue Yeti is fine but it’s not a good price/performance option anymore. I’d rather go for sth like Samson Q2U. A mic that has been overshadowed for a long period of time so you can buy it pretty damn cheap these days.
The q2u is a pretty sweet mic, you could also just find a real cheap UM2 and a XM8500 as well if you wanted something even more flexible.
The snowball isn’t terrible imo, it’s aight and not horrible for the price (assuming you get it under 50 bucks, perhaps I’m thinking of the ice?). The yeti isn’t good for the price whatsoever, but the snowball is decent (but again I would take something like the q2u instead personally)

I don’t agree from dealing with both mics pretty of ten the yeti barely sounds better if not worse than the snowball.

Yeah 0 reason to buy a yeti imo, really no point at that price, get yourself a cheap interface and the mic of your choice and have a fair bit better price than a yeti

I think the version people say sounds horrible is the Snowball iCE version. The regular version is nice for the price and for USB it’s good from the reviews I have seen and people I have talked to.
The ice version sounds basically the same only difference between the 2 mics is an extra mic mode
You can do more with post processing and room treatment with the snowball if your recording. But if you just need something to chat in game or discord a yeti is a waste of money
That’s what I thought as well (and most people don’t really need anything outside of cardioid)
That can be applied to most any mic, good way to get the most performance for your money. That’s kinda why I wouldn’t rec condensers for most unless they are willing to properly treat their room, a dynamic will preform better in more average conditions imo
Maybe it was just some QC then. Idk lol.
How does a MH751 paired with a Creative Sound Blaster Play! 3 sound? Is that a decent enough sound card? Don’t really want nor need a proper amp, just looking for something lowkey and stuff, I will eventually get better headphones in the future with an amp, but that won’t be for a couple of years.
I can vouch for this

@FernoFlake So here’s the thing.
None of those lower end sound cards or amps are going to give a noticeable difference in quality. I would not recommend getting any of those. Your headphones will sound just fine without them, a waste of money imo. Just save up for a good amp or DAC when you are able to. I would avoid all those low end things for the reasons I stated.
Yeah I was just looking for a sound card as then I can use USB, as I have more of those available. Not necessarily looking for an upgrade but the ones I’ve looked into seem to be fine for their price (as in no downgrades at least). Orico SC2 and the Creative Sound Blaster Play! 3 are my options. Either MH751 with one of them, or I just go for the MH752. What would you suggest?
Maybe look for units that can take optical in (assuming your motherboard has that output).
Dongle DACs like the Play 3 are mostly good when the audio jack on a notebook dies.
Edit: There are good dongle-DACs (AudioQuest has some good ones) but those are pricey.
Hey guys:
I’ve been looking into mics for the future, in a year or more, what are your thoughts on the Blue Yeti Nano, HyperX Quadcast and AT2020? If not those, what about that $120 USD and preferably below that price range?
Samson Q5s is probably the best value is a USB mic out right now
Edit: meant q2u
