I've been searching, but can't decide on what headset I should purchase. At a budget of $100 - $150 (and maybe willing to spend slightly more if needed) I was looking at the Razer Megalodon. However, due to it becoming slightly outdated, I'm on the search for a new 7.1 Surround Headset. I was then looking at the Logitech solutions, but they look ugly and I'm not interested in those. What do you guys suggest? Ever since my DPX21's died after like a year, I'm looking for a more reliable and less fragile headset.

NO.

Avoid Razer headphones at all costs! Razer makes terrible audio products!





For your budget an ATH-AD700X with a Xonar DG or Xonar DSX would be great! Use DOLBY for virtual surround instead of a gimmicky "true surround sound headset."

If you need a mic, grab a Zalman clip on mic for a few bucks.

sounds like an opinion to me I've owned and used a couple different 7.1 headsets such as the Turtle beach PX5 and i now own the Tiamat. I can say with confidence there the best ive come in contact with. as well the external channel volume adjuster is great.

ok, I recommend A virtual 7.1 surround sound....they are cheaper and in my opinion better, second if you need a mic get a mod mic, exxelent quality mic and easy to use, thirdly if possible grab an audio technica because they are just amazing and I'm done

It's the opinion of myself and every audiophile who has used good stereo headphones. You have either never used good headphones or have bad ears. The headphones I recommended, and their older version, are quite used by many gamers.

Gaming headsets are cheap products wrapped in a fancy exterior to look cool. I could get some cheap headphone drivers wrap them in something nerdy and "cool" looking with a mic, call it "new super awesome gaming headphones," and call it a day.

You should have gotten a PC 360 instead if you wanted a headset as it's made by a real audio company.
