I got this pair of headset because it was relatively cheap and everyone on the internet said they were great for gaming but as soon as i tried to use them, I realized there was a problem. For instance, in skyrim i cant look at any one directly because if i do i cant hear them speak also i can not hear anything my character does. I was told i would need an audio converter but im curious if there is another way that i dont have to purchase anything.

Oh, ok. That's a little nasty on the part of Razer (a surprise to me), but no problem. You need an adapter that takes the one 3.5mm jack on your headphones, which carries the signals for both the microphone and headphones (microphone to the computer and headphone signal from the computer, of course), and splits it into two separate plugs. One of these carries the signal from the microphone, and the other carries the signal to the headphones.
Combined mic/phone plug (note the three bands, separating the regions for ground, right, left and mono microphone):

Simple stereo plug (two bands, separating, ground, right and left):http://rocky.digikey.com/weblib/CUI%20Inc/Web%20Photo/S...
What's nasty is that Razer didn't include the required splitter. I believe most gaming headsets either come with a splitter or simply have one built in: their wires split without any extra parts
tl;dr: This is the adapter you need.http://www.lunashops.co.uk/goods-1255.html
