New headset

[logox]

I am in need of a headset for my PC (used for gaming). As far as $, I COULD buy a $200 headset, however, I would like to save as much $ as possible (I'm fine with spending $20 if it gets me a good one). Any suggestions?

Logitech G35 is pretty good. Or the Corsair Vengeance 1500. That's the one I'm getting at least.

I've been considering the SS Siberia V2.

@gary1 - Reason for picking the Vengeance over the Siberia (or 1300 for that matter)?

I thought the Siberia didn't have a mic LOL. Taking a look at it again, seems it was hiding..

I think the Siberia won out for me... You can get it here for $77.99 for free shipping:

As far as sound quality goes... They are supposed to be the top of the middle but not in audiophile space. These are supposed to be one of the most comfortable headsets made so if you plan on leaving these on for a long time it's another plus.

Hard to decide between the g35, 1500, and ss siberia.

Keep in mind that if you have a half decent sound card or a half decent onboard sound, analog headphones should sound better than USB ones.

I think I've jumped ship. Now considering the ATH-AD700 + zalman clip on mic. When I get off my PC I'll shoot you a link.

Apparently, they don't like headsets over on the overclock forums...
