If money were no object..........
« on: June 17, 2011, 12:46:16 PM »
and you were looking to buy a Headset, what in your opinion would be the best purchase available? Recognizing that price isn't necessarily indicative of quality, what would you get?

I can't give you much of a recommendation, but I can tell you what I do know. Gamecom Plantronics headset is not very durable at all. Both I had cracked, both are now held together with masking tape.

Now, I'm not certain if this is indicative of ALL of their headsets, I could've always gotten an unlucky break. <S>

Thanks guys. I will admit that I'm leaning toward Tritton's AX Pro. It seems to have a good deal going for it, but I wanted to check in with the community to see what they would use, and maybe see if anyone here is using the Tritton product.

Gosh, don't wanna hijack my own thread, so back to the question. If money were no object, what headset would you buy?

I have the Logitech G35 headset here is the link for it at NewEgg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104281&Tpk=Logitech%20g35

It may be a USB headset but I have had no problems with it whatsoever.

Great sound and best of all 6 different voice morphing (to irritate your squad members) options.

Money no object?

Well yes, I did state "money no object", but I thought the inference was clear. Gaming headsets  :lol, and unless I'm wrong, those Bose A20's are for Aviation only. Not much use to a PC pilot.  :D

I have a set and except for the microphone (which I had to reinforce), it is a great headset.

With the proper adaptors they work just fine with PCs. One of the FS sites sells them and the adaptor (PC Pilot maybe).

I have two headsets that I use outside of the aviation grade. The Heil Proset Media Pro (Ham radio broadcast quality) and the AKG K171. The Heil was actually commissioned by the US Navy due to its durability. The AKG is probably more comfortable but it does require you have another mic (which you didnt ask about but since you mentioned gamer headset you must want it included). I use the Sound Blaster X-Fi with the front panel controller and it automatically responds to the presence of the Heil and the mic is perfect for it.

I consider these gamer quality but you can get much better performance or even wireless if you free up your dollars. USB products just dont compare.
