Yo guys, its time for me to choose a new headset.

I've been checking most of the headsets on the market atm and I found 2 headsets that i rly liked.

Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming http://www.razerzone.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=38
&
Sennheiser HD-555 http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/05342

If its for ET, you defently shouldn't buy the razer cause its 5.1 and ET doesn't support that. So i would go for a hd555
Although i wouldn't spend that much money for a headset. I used to have a steelsound 5hv2 but it died, so i bought a cheap sennheiser hd201 for €28, and gues which on is better by far..

ofc the sennheiser.
1. its a closed headphone so i don't you don't hear background noise.
2.imo, both sides (left and right) got separeted better cause its a close headphone. but that maight be just a feeling
3. Ingame sound is ATLEAST as good as from the 5hv2, and music and films are MUCH better quality.

i think if you want a 5.1 headset, you should go for the meduse

hd 555 is also 5.1 or am i wrong? =)

nope, 2.1 just a stereo headset
its not a gaming headset. just a high quality headset

a surround effect can be created by the soundcard, not by the headset

They have really good sound quality and never break (at least for me) and they are comfortable to wear too :)
