Akg K240s are Amazing Gaming headphones Aside from their sleek design that everyone is in love with they sound Ridiculous. You'll be Knocked off your seat When you hear the quality sound these headphones produce. I've been sponsored in many games:
Medal Of Honor Allied Assault
Call Of Duty
Call Of Duty 2
Call Of Duty 4
Counter Strike Source
Now I'm not the best player (duh) but It was never hard for me to obtain 2:1 ratios in clan matches or pubs. I can tell you right now it had nothing to do with:
Aiming ability
Set grenades
knowing the map
Strats
OK now I'm just talking out of my rear lol truth is I just knew when the enemy was coming and where to point my gun simple as that. Having great headphones not cheap headsets or speakers provided the sound clarity I needed.
Most of the time I could run through the map stop and just hear where people were running, bumping into and walking YES I SAID WALKING. So it was nothing to hop around the corner and let off a few rounds and kill some people. I've been accused of hacking multiple times.
I can't count home many times I've had my demo reviewed by cevo, twl (horrible league BTW) and Cal (before they dropped) I didn't stop getting accused until I played at a LAN event with my headphones. Turns out 70% of the GREAT players there had insane headphones most better than mine.
The point I'm trying to get at is the there is an advantage to having good headphones while gaming.
