Looking for decent 5.1 or 7.1 wireless headset with charging stand

Anupheaus · Apr 14, 2014

I'm trying to find a fairly decent wireless 5.1 or 7.1 headset for PC gaming (with microphone) and I would like it to have it's own stand (preferably a charging stand) as I hate seeing charging cables everywhere. Ideally, I'd like it to be around £100 or less but I'm willing to go higher if it means getting everything I would like.

The closest I can find is the Razor Chimaera 5.1 but I don't think full 5.1 is supported for PC (you have to connect it using a 3.5mm cable).

Has anyone got any good suggestions please?

I know you said 5.1, but what about 7.1? I have the Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 and I love it. The 1500 is wired, but they sell a wireless version called the Corsair Vengeance 2100. They do occasionally have driver problems, but you can just use Razer Surround (https://www.razerzone.com/surround) if that proves to be too annoying. Not sure if Newegg will ship oversees, but they're on sale for $99.99 right now which is about £60 I believe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826816028 In any case, I know the price tag is low, but they have fantastic sound. Here's a review of the 1500 you can find on Tom's, and the 2100 is identical except for wireless.

Side note: Admittedly, I have no idea what the charging is like, as I prefer wired.

Thanks Egitel, it does indeed look good and I have updated my post to state 7.1 as well, it is 5.1 minimum really. It is also surprisingly cheap! However, I would really like some nice tidy solution to charging it when it is not is use. I'm really surprised no manufacturer has thought of integrating some kind of stand that charges the headphones wirelessly (like a toothbrush or like the http://www.powermat.com/)

Yeah, the only one I can find with a charge stand is the Chimaera like you've already mentioned, and some Afterglow headset for PS4, but it looks like the Afterglow may work on PC as well? Not 100% sure, but it would seem that way.

Oh that headset just looked awesome, I have purchased it for £112 from Argos (of all places) because it was free and fast delivery and from a reliable vendor - should be getting it tomorrow!

Thanks very much Egitel, let's hope it lives up to all the good reviews it has :wahoo:
