My headset, the older style of the Plantronics audio .90, died again (this is the second set after a warrenty replacement. both broke in the <b>exact</b> same spot, and I wouldn't say I was rough on them). Now I need to replace them for those late night gaming sessions and MP3 listening.
PC headsets (with or without mic) or home stereo heaphones (closed prefferably), looking for any suggestions. I know a fair bit about computers, but I don't know much about sound, or the finer details about it. I am far from an audiophile, but that doesn't mean I will accept any old garbage headset. Things that I am looking for:
- a good <b>stereo</b> heatset, with 3D-positioning so I can hear them bastards trying to sneak up behind me in online games.
- Good bass would be nice. Not that I don't want decent crisp sound, but the music I listen to is mostly bassy type music. That and most games I play are FPS type games, so there are plenty of explosions/gunfire that I would like to feel.
- good sound @ a decent price. The cheaper.... I mean the less expensive the better, but I don't want to sacrifice too much quality of sound to save a few bucks. As always im looking for the sweet spot between price/performance. Wouldn't mind them lasting awhile unlike my last 2 sets.
Thanks in advance
