Reply to comment by vext01 in Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me. by [deleted]

Technically they do. But the advantage you get from them is so far down on the list of what actually matters that its negligible. Gamesense, aim, and map knowlege are far far more important for competitive games

Point on, if you play like shit they won't suddenly make you play better, but instead give you the opportunity to be better if you're in a clutch. Not gonna change your rank a whole lot, but helps for sure.

Exactly. They just give an already mechanically skilled player slightly more information, it just doesnt really matter unless you are good enough to actually use that information

I can't do much with that information, I'm deaf on one side, and it only sucks when I hear footsteps, but can't tell where they're coming from because I have to play with mono settings. I wish there were ways to cater L/R volume, like to give my deaf side a bass boost, because I can feel it if it's loud enough, but then it'll just be too loud for my good side. I don't win all the time, but my K/D is usually pretty good by the end.

No, that is nothing what I'm talking about. I get it, the crowd is the sixth player, but that's how it is in sports; people are crazy.

It's hilarious spectating cheaters and watching how bad they are at whatever game they're cheating in.

Headphones do not give you any significant advantage, the volume do.

More detailed headphones like DT1990, will present more details in sound, but it does change the fact that there was a foot step somewhere around you. In my opinion, DT1990 does the opposite of helping. There amount of details I hear, does not help, but distract me from gaming. I do not want to hear how crispy or or how mistakes there are in the footstep sound. I just want to hear it.
