This started out as a tech help post for recommendations on a headphone, but as audio is so under exposed in gaming I wanted to know what your audio setup is for gaming.
Do you respect soundtracks and their composers with a decent speaker setup, or do you use some cheaper logitech speakers? And more importantly, suggest some of your favorite games to go with it.
For headphones I have an old cheap Superlux HD668b. Replaced the cushions with soft textile ones and added a bluetooth dongle so I can use it with my phone (but I'm looking for something better).
For my desktop I have a pair of wharfedale diamond 9's. Love them to death. When I first got them, I was amazed (and saddened) at all the detail and richness I have been missing in my music. Although, recent years I play mostly on the tv which has a pair of boston acoustics tower speakers.
As for gaming, the soundtrack of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice really set the mood. I'm sure there are better examples, but it is the last game I played which really drew me into its atmosphere using good sound design.
