Rip Fatal1ty

by rebelii • 7 Jan 2009, 12:39 • Journals
Fucking cheap material headset has been tearing into pieces for 2 weeks now after like 6 months of use, and it seems today it really left me, for good. I'll take a few pics later just to show you why you shouln't buy this shit unless you take care of it like it was your fucking child.

I'm looking for a site to buy not too expensive headsets, without mic is okay as I've got a random headset for the mic anyway.

I tought of a Siberia blablabla headset... Heard it was nice and it's not quite too expensive, any opinions?

Also looking for good french e-shops or e-shops who ship to france for free/not much.

You should invest once in a good headset rather than spending 30 Euro on some cheap ones every 4 months.

Thing is... It really gave up on me today, and I'm not a patient person, so I needed sound right now, and i had like 45€ cash, went and bought a Philips SBC HP460, since a mate recommended me DJ headsets for the sound (Already have a random 5€ headset for the mic), so that's what I did.

You should not stick it where the sun does not shine and everything would be fine. My fattys still in almost perfect conditions after a year of hard work.

i'm wearing two headsets since like 8 months, np4me :P
one with working speakers, the other with a working mic and one working speaker!

v1ech 7 Jan 2009, 14:52
i have bought the fatal1ty headset last week and i really like it.
wearing comfort is really good. sound quality and microphone quality is decent and the price was 30 euros and thats ok.

i like the ability to plug and unplug the microphone.

I hope mine will last longer as i am pritty careful with it..

what exactly did u do to waste it ?
▼
rebelii 7 Jan 2009, 16:36
Tbh, not too many crashes on the ground of anything, but 1st) The mic stopped working. Really. I was in the middle of a match, it cut, I paused, tought it was Ventrilo or a plug or something... Nope. The micro simply broke lol.

2) The cables from the sound volume thing to the headset started tearing up.

3) The plastic cover of the volume thing went off for no reason aswell.

4) The fact I crushed it with a hammer today for 15 mins might have fixed those problems :)
