Any good Headsets out there?
« on: October 31, 2006, 08:34:58 AM »
:(   Hey can anyone out there help me with buying a good headset for the game? Mine just  :cry   broke and I am looking for a good one this time. Preferably a straight up USB plug in, so I don't have to mess with all the connectors plug and unplugging. Not looking to spend $millions$ either. My kids use them sometimes    :huh  and that's how they usually break. I do like the Ltb models with the removable mics. But i'm not too familiar with any other brands.

I'm going crazy without a headset :rolleyes: . My wife watches as I talk to my computer screen. Everytime I turn around this is what I see :huh  :rofl . And I just get frustrated :furious  when I cant tell someone i diving on them.

OK I GO NOW!

I've never gone wrong with Plantronics.

The pro model is USB. I used a set of the Counter-Strike edition DSP 500s for quite some time (was broken @ a LAN party). Definately need a new set here :(

If your willing to pay, I use these myself. Sennheiser makes some great headsets, but they are spendy. I spent $139.00 for mine (PC155USB), but I sure do love the quality and they are very comfortable. 3D sounds helps alot when your in a GV.

Don't know what your budget is, but for $30, I've been absolutely thrilled with this Plantronics set. They also have a couple of USB sets; I know Newegg had them pretty cheap a few months ago when I was looking.

I use a logitech USB headset and it works just fine. It's $40 on logitech's website so you'll probably get it for less on Amazon or Newegg.

I just purchased a sennheiser from newEgg for $75.00 ... it will support both USB or the older twin plug setup ... great headset and does 3D sounds.

Ive had a planatronic, logitech , and altec lansing . Out of all of them the altec has lasted the longest and has given me the best sound Q.  But like slappy said SENNHEISER is one that ive only heard good things about .   38

Whoa those are sweet.

I wonder if there are any bluetooth ones around... I've got enough wires already.

Try here

I know a bunch of companies make them, they just happened to be the first link I found on google. I'm pretty sure there's also a good selection @ Aircraft Spruce.

I've had many headsets and none held up very long, especially the USB variety.

Then I ran across a post in these boards about a cheap RadioShack headset and though skeptical, I bought one and it's been working great for over a year and no problems with the mic either.  The model doesn't seem to matter so long as you find it comfortable.
