i would say Turtle Beach. you would pay an arm and a leg, but they have a damn fine reputation. had me a pair for about 6 months, but continuously muting and un muting my switch every 5 minutes caused a wire to come loose. well worth the money you pay.

Would suggest just getting an extender cord for your headset...you would get a little loss over the length but it isn't noticeable and honestly it would cost less than a wireless headset. Unless you just have the money to burn.

I'll check it out ... would like to keep my arm and leg but, I will google them.

Hmmmm I never has this idea ... didn't think it was an option for 15 feet. If possible may work and would be more a frugal way to go.


Thanks!


EDIT: Just called Radio Shack down the street 20 foot extension for 13 bucks. Whodda thunk ...

if its 20 bucks go with radio shack.. they dont need the business or money, but 20 is better then an arm and a leg.

This site has a 12.5 foot extension cable for $1.02 the quality is as good or better than most store bought.Shipping usually costs more than the product itself.

+1 on monoprice. I get all my A/V, computer, etc cables from them and  have never had an issue with any of their cables.

I use the ogitech g930. It sounds great from speakers to mic.
The ear cups cover your whole ear and don't hurt after hours of using them.
If you plug them in they charge while using them. I get about 6 hours before I gave to recharge them.
If they break I'd be pretty upset because they sound so good.

I have one of these as well, and it does sound great.  My mic is just duct taped on  :aok
