headset incident

by toxicccc • 5 Jul 2011, 15:05 • Journals
My current headset - Steelsound 4H - has decided to quite literally fall apart, people at LAN can confirm this.

Luckily, the way it is built, the sound is still perfect as there are wires attached to both speakers. Just the part holding the speakers on my head came off.

Whilst sticky tape and glue is a current solution, I would like a more long term solution at some point or another. Please give me your advise.

It has got to be sound cancelling and have a mic!

Budget... well €50 including delivery to Malta!

Thanks

Nah, at least, I don't think so. I was the one that sneaked one into my bag, but then I felt bad and gave it back. (actually everyone told ross i took one and he asked for it back) !

I don't know, hope it didn't.

If no one told ross i 'borrowed' 1 Xai, I'd be the only one using the Eurocup prize! :D

On Esreality there are people complaining about jittering/slight positive acceleration still. Is it actually noticable?
I think the shape is just insanely good and I'd love to try one out (just this stupid high price.. :|)

Well, just spec mAus this lan :PPP. I have been using this mouse since just after celsus died and i believe it has improved my "aim" a lot since using the deathadder. sqzz also used the mouse for the 1st time this lan (without praccing with it) and was aiming amazing. If there is acceleration, then you either get used to it, or its not noticeable.

Yeah, that's what I have also read in lots of CS forums. Guess it's just the Quake ppl that always find ways for complaints.

If I should ever play some games again, I'll surely try and get one of these then. Thanks!

mAus uses the xai? do you all in anexis use it? Does it feel like an mx518 or like a DA?

thanks

had the same problem,
after a long Estonianight of Ethiopiagaming(at exactly 07.00am) i decided to go to sleep
reach out to grab my headset (on my head) to take it down, i pull it apart (to take it off the ears) and it brakes in half.

i recomend!
buy a 5.1(or 7.1) soundcard (its cheap from 10 to 30euros) and a sony/or some other nice cheap headset = epic sound.. i can hear them fart in their spawn from my spawn, enjoy!

e:
genius 5.1 soundcard
+
sony mdr xd100 (stereo headphones,not a headset)
around 40euros for nice quality sound (i doubt that a non usb headset for more then 50-80 can compete vs my soundcard+headphones 40euros!)

Can buy my 5h steel series if you want. I used it at AEF and a hand full of times at home. Pretty sick headset.
