What headset do you use/recommend?

[insanity]

I broke my headset today. After going through 2 of these headsets in 16 months i am wanting to try something new. What headset do you guys use?

[RickJames]

sennheiser pc350

uenz has the pc360, which is the same headset but open-ear instead of closed.

Anything sennheiser is top quality

2. dont' let your cat chew on the wires


$30 had it for 5 years and counting. (easily) removable mic so you don't look retarded unless you have to

Logitech G35, its expensive but definately worth it. surround sound functionnis awesome can pinpoint someones exact location by hearing only.

Expensive but I love them.

[kylewins]

the advantage to the astro is that sometimes you get to listen to steel do his dishes

[Sonic|^]

Plantronics GameCom 780.

[InfamousRaider]

WTF the Astro is expensive as fuck

[kud]

I've had for years. Sound/mic is good, comfortable, and pretty cheap. cord is like 6ft which is pretty good

[rain]

using steelseries siberia right now

[Banko]

I have the steel series Siberia v2 and I love them. Just got them last week sound is great and are very comfortable.

For that price it was much better than I thought. Acceptable sound, ok comfort and good mic. It feels a bit cheap though.

For the soloing I have a Sennheiser HD 598.

Depending on how often do you plan on using it, you might as well go for quality cans and something like a

this is what I use and it has been great for UT.

Chill out on the rage tyler......

if you got the cash then definitely go sennheiser. If you dont wanna drop $150+ on a headset then I recommend Siberia v2. Comfy as hell and I've dropped mine 10,000x - still works like its out of the box.

Problem with Steelseries Siberia v2 is it is easily breakable. They use cheap plastic and the upper band is also on a thin wire-like thing that easily breaks, cheap overall build quality. I had one when Icemat made them before the band came off (I think steelseries bought out icemat and they continued the siberia series).. They are comfortable circumaural headphones with decent drivers (no not talking about software drivers) though

My suggestion is to get separate headphones and microphone. This is usually the best option and also the best bang for the buck.

Clip-on Microphone: something for $15 or cheaper.. like http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/control ... &A=details

etc

Headphones - a few good ones:

http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD70 ... B000CMS0XU
http://www.amazon.com/AKG-240-Semi-Open ... Headphones

These are some of the best headphones you can buy for under $100

I used to have some Sennheisers but a "friend" stole them, the same "friend" who has had my gaming pc at his house for the past few years and I don't care enough to go get it lol...

[ph34r]

i must have lucked out with the tank version blah cuz ive ran over this headset with my pc chair dozens of times and dropped it idk how many, works great still. Ill get back to you when it inevitably breaks this week.

if i was gonna get a sennheiser headset paco id prolly get the 360. My sennheiser headset is collecting dust because it's so uncomfortable but the 350 and 360 looking very comfy. The more im reading on the astro A40 2013 edition the more i really like that headset though. if you're willing to spend the cash Id definitely look into that too

[KNOCKOUTDAD]

love em.

That's the mic I use with my Audio-Technica's that I linked earlier. Seems to work out quite nicely.

If I had a good sound card instead of my onboard I'd be able to pinpoint everything - not too bad as it is though. If anyone has any tips for the best soundcard for FPS gaming shout it out. I've heard good things about the ASUS Xonar DX and the X-Fi Titanium HD but not sure if there is anything new/better out there.

[Diff`lx]

For now I just use headphones and a cheapass desk mic I got from BB.

However whenever I get around to ordering it I plan to get this and attach it to my Audio Technicas:
