Looking for a new headset

by Untamed • 24 May 2007, 13:45 • Forums › Technology
I'm looking for a good headset/headphones for gaming, I already got a koss and a broken zalman 5.1. Preferably with a microphone, but not a must. It has to be a good headset, as good as my money can buy ofcourse. I'm looking for something around 60 euros I guess, but if you know a good headsetor headphones, just paste a link or the name.

Sennheiser PC165, works epic for me.

*EDITNGR* I just read you only have 60 euros to spend, you won't be able to buy that. :(

I got a couple of hundred euros, but still, I dont wanna use it all until I got a job to pay the "bills"! I dont really play seriously anymore either, so its not really that important to have the BEST, but I was shopping a new qpad so I thought why not?

a good headset which helps you to place people better combined with a sense you know in and out can make you a better gamer, it makes your performance better, not your skill.

Simple, SteelSound 5h v2!

Great quality (and haven't heard of failures yet, but that's no guarantee of course. They had to make up for the shit quality of the v1 though).

Extremely comfortable, very large ear cups, no pressure on the ears at all even after many hours. Ear cups are vented, which is nice in summer.

Retractable microphone is very practical.

Sound quality for music and videos in general is probably worse than comparable Sennheisers, but ingame sounds are perfectly clear and easy to spot, even with other noise around you.

I've never felt like cheating as much as since I got this headset. ;) I don't know if it beats the more expensive Sennheisers (for games), but I've read that those aren't quite as comfortable anyway. So if you want a headset only/mainly for gaming, I don't think you can do much wrong with the 5h.

Does it matter if I have the USB or not? USB costs a great deal more, it looks better on their homepage http://www.steelseries.com/products/steel_sound
But I dont wanna use USB for sound anyway :p

No, as I understand it the USB soundcard is just a little extra thing you connect to the cable, otherwise they are equal. And it's only recommended for people with shit sound cards or who want the exact same sound quality on LANs. :)
