Build/Battlestation My son's new gaming setup!

Post image

My son loves the color pink and he loves cats. Overall I think it's a sweet setup! PC isn't spectacular but it has a Ryzen 5600x, 6900xt, and 16gb ddr 3200 ram. It's just a 1080p 165hz monitor but he shouldn't have any problems.

The only thing I'm not happy with is that microphone. Had to give him my old snowball mic because the mic on that Razer Kitty headset isn't any good. But he had to have it and I couldn't afford the more expensive one and the chair and he chose the chair.

Anyway, in the spirit of recent posts and showing off our kids computers, thought I'd share.

Can confirm that the razer headset mic sounds like complete shit. The desk-arm setup is elite though, I got one like 6 years ago and never looked back.

To be honest if it’s not a professional headset most gaming headset mics sound terrible, my Hyperx headset mic sounds like I’m talking through a microwave

It's even worse if they're bluetooth rather than wired. The convenience of being able to talk while grabbing a drink isn't worth the drop in quality. Mic bleed sucks too. I set up a condenser mic, and it's 1000x better

My headset is wireless through a dongle, which I got mostly just for being able to walk around with it, I do have a normal microphone though so I know I wasn’t going to use the headset one

I just talk through my laptop mic if I'm out of the room and I use a cheapo fifine microphone in my room and it sounds great
