Headset suggestions

[wildman999]

Hi, I just go an X-Fi extreme gamer sound card and would like a headset to take advantage of it. I will use it mostly for gaming. Any suggestions? Anyone try the razer? No USB please.

I use a Sennheiser PC151 headset. Its an all around excellent piece of equiptment and truely adds new life to your gaming experience 8)

Also I would suggest what ever you pick do not purchase a Plantronics headset... I went through two sets of them... They break easily and are knowwhere near as good as Sennheiser headsets

I have just bought the Medusa 5.1 Home Edition - I use it for games (2142 and Stalker at mo) and it is very comfortable when wearing for long periods. However, it does suffer from a very annoying flaw - in that the centre speaker lacks bass.

Anything in front sounds odd and ruins the 3d nature of certain things at certain times. But it is not often that you can't see something right in front -a lot of others have described similar problems in the rear.

If you are prepared that they might not be perfect - they aren't a bad choice. But I am not sure if I have the damn set up correctly - so the error might lie with my own lack of knowledge.

A Grado SR-80 headphone and a Logitech USB mic.


The best headphone you can get for under $100. I'm serious.




Works really good for gaming. I used it for BF2.

IMO a microphone on the table is not only obstructing your movements it's also VERY annoying for the other players because you won't maintain a steady volume...

Great suggestions, but I would like a set that has a mic attached.

I have the Sennheiser PC-160SK headset. The SK version is discontinued but is amazing if you can get your hands on them. A bit pricy at around $100(I got them for $75 from newegg about a year or so ago) but great sound and really solid construction.
