Wireless PC gaming headset?
« on: October 21, 2007, 02:15:16 AM »
Are there any wireless or bluetooth gaming headsets out there?  I did a search and I keep going around in circles.

Something that covers both ears & w/ a mic (of course).

If this hasn't been invented yet for the PC gamer then there is something wrong.

Click.

Click "Advanced Search" on the far left in blue if it isn't already selected. Pick what you want. Search.

Only downside to those wireless headphones above is that they have build in lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries.  They are custom to probably that brand/model of headphone and replacements will only be available thru the manufacturer (you'll probably have to ship the headpones to the company).  So expect replacement batteries to cost $30-40 my guess.  You'll need to replace the batteries in 2-4 years (2 years for heavy use)

I haven't looked into the market of wireless headsets too much (I've had only one in my life, cheap RCA ones).  Depending on your budget, I'd recommend headsets that use either AAA or AA batteries as these will always be readily available.

Beware that the Bluetooth models usually do not allow use of the mic when using stereo sound.

I use a pantronics a590 which I love. Probably not the best audio headset but it is very versatile (plus my other 'headset' has a built in mic).
