Simply put; open headphones sound better, but closed headphones offer isolation.Crimson_SoulZ wrote:

By isolation I mean in terms of both sound leaking out from the headphones, and sound leaking in.
Unless you need isolation you should consider open models. You can get closed headphones that sound as good as open models, but generally the closed model will cost more.

Well I don't need isolation that much but I'll keep that in mind.Jarby wrote:

Well, not a truth - but you should do that. Just sayin'.
Both of these items aren't too expensive, especially since you said the headset is cheaper. (Tablet is only 300MYR)
Assuming you still work after this, I don't see why is there a problem getting them both.

I do not care about my country ranking anymore. I have more important things than osuok

My pay isn't that much. And I'm saving the rest of my money for something else (To be precise, for cosplay costume and a short trip to SG)xsrsbsns wrote:

Cool. I'm sure you'll do fine since you said you're only using a portion of the pay, which is a wise choice.
Just get the headset first, and then take the tablet only when you really feel like spending it. Like someone mentioned, there's no guarantee that you'll like the tablet (or vice versa).

Since you're not stressing on isolation I highly recommend getting at least a decent pair of open cans. The sound-stage you get in those is amazing >> all those 'surround sound'/5.1/7.1 shit advertised in 'gaming' cans.
Closed 'phones, due to their nature, tend to have more a prominent/boomier bass (with subjective quality). Also, my ears tend to get rather hot and sweaty after their prolonged usage. I'd imagine it'd be worse under the typical Malaysian climate.

Off-topic but that sounds cool. May I ask what character this might be?Crimson_SoulZ wrote:

Rather undecided on what character. My choice are either Jericho Swain (From LoL) or Rinnosuke (From touhou)ychao24 wrote:

I actually enjoy my G35 headset throughly. It's not for the sound quality but the added features (I never knew how useful it was to have three buttons on the side of the controller until I used these things). So far the only wear that they show is just a dash of the foam seems to be cut. Otherwise it's like it was brand new. While they are not the best than a lot of the headsets out there I would buy these again just for the added features it has and highly highly recommend them for use. I mean these things are so comfortable that you can sleep on them (which I have done many many many times).

Buying a tablet for the sake of competitive play in osu! makes me want to strangle someone. Simply for the sake of fun, on the other hand, is a different story.

Competitive and fun aren't mutually exclusive. It's more fun if you can play better.

Well anyways. I got my pay. And I am correct to be choosing to buy a headphone + separate mic. I will be doing more research about the headphones and try to figure out what kind of separate mic I should buy :<

Hello people. I managed to buy a 5$ mic and it worked just as well. And today I have received my Superlux HD668B. Satisfaction level increased. And I'm glad I didn't buy "gaming" headphones.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.
