is this good for gaming like does it produce a nice sound with explosions or shooting

I doubt it. It's great for Music and enhances string instrument, vocals. It lacks the low ranges you might need for gaming sounds.

I have not tried with gaming but I dont see why it would not given it handles music just fine. I listen to alot of Jazz and it is quite dynamic.

Several people have used my laptop for Minecraft and TF2 multiplayer online gaming and the feedback has been satisfactory. The Beats Audio speakers also adds to the gaming experience.

I use it for that, but I bought this with listening to music in mind. No doubt, its bass-leaning tendency gives more "oomph" in in-game explosions.

Yes, but to be honest the quality of sound isn't really any different than the mic on the camera. If you're going to buy a shotgun boom I would shell out a little more for something better.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

Yeah. It's pretty good for games. You can't always play on the highest resolution.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.

Yes a sound card will take the sound processing off the CPU you games will have higher FPS and reproduce sound effects in games better, I would recommend Sound Blaster for my gaming rig I'm using the Sound Blaster Core 3D Fatality Champion not sure if the sound could be directed though the HDMI I have mine though the SPDIF on the card out to my RCA 5.1 receiver.

The fans get pretty loud when gaming. They must be doing their job because I have not had an overheat problem yet. I wear head phones most of the time so the fan noise is no problem. I usually play with every thing maxed out as much as possible with no problems yet. The only thing I would recommend is get an MSI with a larger SSD than 128 Gig, it fills up very fast with todays games and it would be worth it. That is the only thing I wish I had done, other than that this thing is awesome.

I would recommend this for mic quality. Creative Sound Blaster Inferno Gaming Headset with Detachable Mic and In-Line Volume Control (GH0290) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2J8G6A/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_H7M.tb1T03BD4

Yeah i use them for gaming all the time. I play CS:GO and other games where hearing other players is important and i think these work great. And honestly any Amp that has a 1/4 plug in will do the trick. I just have a $20 amp and it works really well

I don't use it for gaming, I use it mostly for photography, "Photoshop". It does not overheat for me.

I would think so. I've used them for movies and such. You have to mess around with the volume because dialogue tends to get muddy, though. But once you get it set they work well for movies so I'm assuming they will work well for gaming.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

I'm not sure as to the "why," but there is a kind of hollow sound when listening to music or speeches when playing through a laptop's sound card. Sounds okay when playing CS:GO and BF4 though... Some headphones just are power hungry I guess. For the price tag, I was hoping to get at least comparable sound to my AT-A900x headphones, but no go.
