new Headset + phone!

Good afternoon lads,

Last night in a very stoned mood, I tripped over the chord of my image: 16337_1 and now the cable is completely messed up. So after a long service of 3+ years using this awesome piece of equipment I find the time has come to move on to a new one. This is were I turn to you fellow gaymers.

I need the headset to have:

- Price of preferably below or around 50 euro's
- Mic attached
- A proper bass
- A Long chord

So do you have any suggestions for me?


Then on to the next subject. After having had my image: nokia-n96 + its vodaphone contract for about 3/4 years I found out my contract is about to end. Which means: TIME FOR NEW PHONE WOOHOOO.
Now I would prefer a cool Smartphone ofcourse, but other suggestions like: "take cheap phone with cheap contract and get a tv for free" are also very acceptable ofcourse! Would like a phone that:

- I dont have to charge every fucking day
- Is ideal for browsing the web and my e-mail
- Is able to gets some cool apps running


I would like to thank you all in advance!

TL;DR version:
I wrecked my headset so I need a decent new one. My old phone + contract is worn out so need something new as well!

put in a bit more money for the headset and buy a siberia v2
ehm, well I find 80+ euros too much for a headset sry :/ I just paid for my vacation so I dont have a lot of money left. It looks pretty cool though!
Parent
siberia doesnt cost 80€ :D
Parent
apparently, in my country it does :p
Parent
usb version? in that case no suprise

i bought mine for 60€ and have not been the slightest bit dissapointed
Parent
Cant agree more :) Its really awesome! I payed €67 for it tho, but that included shipping costs aswell.
Parent
why not buy fatal1ty again?
well since I was very pleased with the headset I could go for another one indeed, but maybe there is some other nice suggestion that I would like to go for instead :)

mostly interested in something new after 3 years!
Parent
ye true that. I also have been using fatal1ty for more than 2 years is just a great headset.
Parent
bass you say, get some dre ones LOL super muddy bass for ya. :PPp get some pc151's for that price? maybe something newer

e: as for cheap phones, paid £70 for http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/vodafone-845 this, tidy low budget android, got all the apps you need, battery is OK and some nice roms about to modify ('jailbreak') it. read the 'tl;dr' part, but since you'll upgrade on your contract get the htc desire hd! D:
steelseries siberia v2
Im using a image: steelseries-siberia-v2-headset atm, its really nice and I payed €67 euros for it.
As a phone, I have a [img]http://shop.www.hi.nl/image/00041/m5article/TBBB9780bl%5B2%5D.png[/img] and Im really satisfied with it! Ive also heard that the image: HTC-Desire-S-getoond is really nice :)
Hmm ik dacht voor de HTC sensation te gaan maar blijkbaar is die batterij daarvan echt te kut. En persoonlijk heb ik het niet zo heel erg op blackberries. Wil een iets groter scherm en geen miniletters, ook al is qwerty toetsenbord wel chill :)
Parent
Ja, ik wilde wel weer eens n keer knopjes ;) Ik vind m heel fijn! Er zijn ook genoeg andere telefoons met qwerty toetsenborden tho ;)

samsung galaxy s 2 , je moet em waarschijnlijk wel elke dag opnieuwe opladen maar ligt er natuurlijk aan hoe intensief je em zelf gebruikt.

Maar wss moet dat wel met elke smartphone!
heb deze genomen :) is een tof dingetje, wel echt een kolos

en ik krijg de contacten van mijn simkaart niet overgezet op de een of andere manier.. enig idee hoe da werkt? :P
Parent
jaa ff kijken hoor :P je klikt contacten en dan op die knop voor opties naast die grote wat op het zwarte deel van je toestel zit onder.. dan staat er wel importeren/exporten.. dan kan je dus doen importeren van sim kaart :)!

en tis idd wel een groot toestel vergeleken met anderen maar super licht en dun en harstikke snel :p je zult er geen spijt van krijgen!!

phone contracts... first time hearing about that

Sennheiser HD 428, it is 74euros in Finland. Hope it is not too much, should include good bass.
Or Sennheiser HD 201 if you want cheaper, dunno about the bass:P

Which program you use to listen music? There are ways in some programs to boost your bass so you don't have to get any headphones with great bass. More bass is bad for gaming needs so you should consider going for not so heavy bass headphones if you like to get something from them in-game.

There isn't any good gaming headphones for that price range, I would recommend you to buy siberia v2 for gaming but since they are gaming they might lack bass for you.

I've had fatal1ty myself and I have to say that sound quality of it is pretty crap, though the bass is pretty strong.

EDIT: How could I forget AKG 518 DJ headphones. I don't know about their bass but they should have pretty good sound quality plus they have pretty good isolation in them.
musicprograms vary a lot, mostly its just spotify, youtube and itunes.

But I see everybody really likes this siberia thing so I think I'll go for that one as well then. I really enjoyed the fatality headset personally, thought the soundquality was near to excellent especially since it fit my ears very well.
Parent
In iTunes you can make your bass higher.

Siberia v2 is best selection for you if you don't want to go for high-end headphones and you are playing games.

If you thought fatal1ty was good Siberias should make you think otherwise.
Parent
well I tried some sennheiser headsets as well but I thought in total the fatality was of at least equal value since the attached mic has excellent sound and the chord is nice and long, plus the headset can take a lot before it breaks down, as I found out :p

sound isnt all that important to me tbh, doesnt have to be some high end stuff, as long as its clear and shuts of the rest of the world :P
Parent
I preferred the siberia way more, the fatality one was alright but not the price it was at, i felt the sound was a bit "tinny" and i mean it broke after about 1.30/2 months, had my siberia for about almost 2 years and only broke a little and that's because i ran my chair over it, yet the sound still works perfectly, i would only consider getting a fatality if they were less than half the price of siberia tbf.
Parent
for me the other way around ^_^
Parent
bought my fatality for 35 euros :)
Parent
siberia v2 is good and handsome, but it totally fucks your hair up around the ear and thats unfixable without a shower and i hate that, jsut a little practical
I get around that by wearing a wooly hat with my headset on then after like 1/2 hours take it off, and then after frugs, wax up and party. eZ bash.
Parent
i hate hats
Parent
man up its only to save your hair before you go out.
Parent
i don't own any hats either :D

i would go for sennheiser pc151 (got it already for 5 years or smth) and it is still working well.

otherwise you can go for a cheaper headset and buy a soundcard (i use an xfi one and its awesome)

PHONE : - take cheap phone with cheap contract and get a tv for free
