My son built me a gaming computer recently. I used to be a hardcore gamer in the 90s but haven't played for well over 20 years until very recently. I am having so much fun as an older guy getting back into gaming and I have an endless library of good games to play. Its a really great way to spend an hour or two.

Well for fathers day my son bought me a used headset to try out, we just hooked it up today and holy #$@* its amazing. I cannot believe it, it is so neat. I have never had so much fun gaming before and better yet many of the games are really good exercise. Boxing games, musical rhythm games, spots games and golf. There is a military shooter game call Pavlo and it made me feel like I was back in combat. It felt so exciting and I'm pretty good at it. My son was amazed at how quickly I excelled at Pavlo.

The only thing I'm not enjoying is the loud mouths on some of these players. Little kids saying all kinds of terrible language. If you have a computer that can run games buy yourself one of these headsets. You will be transported to another world. I can put this thing on and jump into so many different worlds right in my living room. So amazing. Have any of you experienced this?

I tried my buddy’s VR headset with some racing game, wasn’t a big fan TBH. I like gaming enough, but being the audio guy I am, much rather look at a display and have immersive audio. Hearing arrows whiz past you in surround sound is awesome. Also, doing stealth gameplay with auditory clues 360deg beats goggles I’d say. Of course you could do both, but I just found the goggles too much

Yeah I have an Index and I'd still rather have my audio clean, clear, and full range(nice headphones and DAC/amp) over VR. I might be getting an Ultrawide soon.

How about VR with surround sound headset?

Nah. Use headphones at work, would rather listen to speakers
