Sennheiser, steelsound or creative

by Jo0f • 23 Jan 2009, 20:18 • Journals
Since my logitech headset (4th) broke due my cc5 adventure, I'm looking for a new one. After some research I noticed that the following headsets offer the best quality for a budget <100 euro.

I guess the sennheisers have the best sound quality, but I'm not sure if I like the fit.. What I wanna know is if the sennheisers are that much better (for gaming) then the creative's or steelseries? Anyone who has experience with both? And does the pc161 actually cover your whole ear? :p

Ps. I'm not gonna use an external mic so dont start about headphones.

Got Steelseries Siberia White, sound is great especially for music and gaming.
The shape is great as well because it fits exactly around the ears.

Creative sux, I had Creative Zen and I noticed that VEEERYYY cheap Sandisk Sansa Clip is better than Zen, so I think there is the same 'problem' with Fatality. Face the facts: Creative = sound cards, only.

I'm happy with my Sennheiser PC150, but it's your choice... :P

sennheiser headsets are overrated but still better i guess
fullsize can doesnt really guarantee comfort but cant say any more since i havent tried them
if u only care about gaming with them go to some shop and try them all and get the most confy one

On paper the pc series look even better then the hd, at the same price-range that is. A superior one like the hd555 costs around 80-100 euro so imo you can't compare that. HD201 for example doesn't even reach the highest frequency which a human is capable of hearing.

I have a siberia and a pc-161 here and the siberia got better comfort but the pc-161 got better bass. The diffrence between the two aint that huge and i think the siberia is abit cheaper so id go for it. But remember that siberia got a external mic wich u can clip to the headsetcable/monitor so it aint attatched to the headphones.
