Gaming headset

by hellgoat • 17 Dec 2006, 22:47 • Journals
I know there's been a million journals about this before but none of the answer has been satisfactory.
I currently use a Sennheiser pc130 which has been working fine. These have now went kabr0ken on me so I'm in need of a new set. The pc130 has been serving me well, however for my next set I'd like them to have bigger cups that completely cover my ears.

I was planning on keeping a budget of max 60€.

A friend has suggested Logitech Precision Gaming Headset for me, which I found for around 25€.

Anyone has had any experience with that headset? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Please keep your suggestions a little richer than just the name of the headset :O)

EDIT: I would prefer a USB headset

The Logitech one is the headset I use :D

I've had to do some minor repairs on the cord, but it's lasted ages apart from that, and I like the way it rests on my ears. No idea if the sound quality is 'awesome' or anything, but it's good enough for what I need...

Yeah - that's the problem I had with the cord. One of the wires failed in the little bit where it comes out of the top of the clip-on volume control. Took it apart soldered in a wire to bypass the one that wasn't working (right ear speaker), works fine now.

I was told it broke easily, and I have dropped these on the floor for several times ( not in purpose ofc :D ) And it still works perfectly for me. I'v been using this for 1 year now about. Logitech Precision Gaming Headset I mean ;p

You should be able to get the old Steelsound 5H for under 60€. Or the new one for around 70€.

Both cover the ears completly and offer excellent sound and comfort.

so I don't have to buy a good soundcard as well. The pro USB headsets have build in soundcards

You can also buy a USB soundcard. ~35 Euro. So you can still use the shit you have now (prolly a cheap micro and a regular earphones?)

Logitech precision thingy is crap. Very uncomfortable to wear and will broke easily. It's whole thing just hanging from your ears and that doesn't feel very nice. Only good thing in it is the microphone till it's broken.

Icemat siberia is very comfortable to wear, has nice sound and is works well even though you would drop it to floor few times but the mic isn't too good.

I've had these 2 and of them I would definetly choose Siberia.

i'd buy this one. its 30 euros cheaper than the regular pc160, so i'd go for this SK-Gaming version
