Hello,
Christmas is coming and I need a new headset for my PC. I currently own a Turtle Beach Z2, but both of its ear pieces have fallen off and the sound plays only through one ear. Definitely time for an upgrade!
I am open to pretty much any suggestion. These are the criteria it must strictly meet, however:
- Very comfortable, allowing long sessions with no aching or discomfort.
- Robust. I need it to last a long time. After this Turtle Beach has had 3 major failures in only a year or so, I want something that will stay strong for years.
- Good microphone quality. The main reason I use a headset is for speaking, I talk to others while playing games 90% of the time.
- And, of course, very good sound too.
I understand that to meet all of these, it may not come cheap. My budget is very loose, and I am willing to spend quite a sum (with the promise of durability)! I will give a limit of £150. Less than this is best, a little more could be spent if absolutely necessary.
These are what I have been looking at so far, but none have seemed to be perfect (prove me wrong if necessary):

This is my favourite one so far. Reviews are almost all positive, and the structure looks very robust indeed. Any good? Thoughts/experiences?

Also, I briefly checked out wireless headsets and found the below link. Is this a good idea? Are there any big flaws in wireless (other than battery life, of course)?

Any suggestions or advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
