Well, the ole headset is about crapped out, lot of duck tape and wires starting to short.
Any opinions out there as to a decent headset?
AS IF AH PILOTS are NOT Opinionated...harharhar.
-
Sennheiser, puts out good headsets. medium to upper end grade runs bout $150. comes with boom mike & very long cord W/built in volume control. very good sound quality. :)
-
Id say you get the one that I have its in my sig. Playtronics there very comfy and I come out very clear. 28$ at newegg(S&H included)
-
get a good set of sealed headphones....
goto the local radio shack, get some "optimus" (made by Koss branded for rad shack)
then get a decent ($10 logitech) pedastal mic.
VOX will sound better transmitting, and game sounds will be better than any wimpy headset you can buy, real bass response, and crisp highs

I love my Altec Lansing AHS-502's ($10.00 on ebay). Best headset I've owned next to my work $200.00 Plantronics work headset. I had a good Andrea headset that lasted for 7 years but it finally gave up the ghost and I havent been able to find another so I went with the Altec Lansings and havent been disapointed!
-
Have the Optimus now. Just worn out.
Sound was great. Found the Mic vol a little low.
Looking at the Altec and logitec digital on BEST BUY.

not really 73, I am not trying to argue with you, but the Pantronics90 series for $20 bucks + the 4.99 shipping blow away alot of the higher price competition. I have headsets ranging from 50 to 200+ bucks and as for crisp clean highs and bass these plantronics blow away my KOSS , AKG, Sony and a # of others, and the mic is of good quality. If you have not tryed them yet don't knock em til ya do. For the price I was amazed. plus have vol control and mic mute switch on the cord with a cord clip to clip to your shirt etc.....
but to each his own YMMV ( well they come close to my AKG set )
-
each has their opinion. though doing home recording, and having been in a studio with good headphones, i have never heard anything that sounded as clear, and without full ear cover, and sealed, the bass just isn't there in my opinion.
-
That pantronics 90 series sounds interesting.
Where ya find that at.

Saw the .audio 90 reviewed on one of the gaming/hardware shows. They gave it good marks. I may check them out too. The Altec Lansing over the ear set I have is currently making my ears hurt. These look pretty comfy, and not quite as flimsy. Here's the link to Newegg.

Plantronics DSP 400 nice headsets light weight with noise cancelation.
-
Plantronics90 OEM is cheaper than retail at newegg (http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106014)
same as hub posted, but cheaper because of OEM vs Retail
-
Appreciate all the response guys.
Iv'e seen and heard nuff.
Ordering the plantronics...
-
I have the Plantronics Audio 90s. they are great. $20 at Fry's Electronics in the Western US.
-
Darn. I have the Audio 90 headphones, at 60€ about 2 years ago. That's something like 80$...
They're really good headphones, no complaints from me. My voice is clear to everyone else and I have good sound.
-
Got a nice 10 dollar head set at radio shack. No need to go over board.
Unless you want speakers. Then get some fat speakers and amp, and it'll sound likeyour actually in the cockpit. :p
Hows that for realism, and great sound?
-
When I still played AH, I used Zalman 3D head set.
They realy work.
eg. You can hear if a tank is behind or infront of you, not only left and right.
That is if your soundcard supports 5.1 sound.

Only bad thing is, that it does not have a mic.
Also I think the base sound was not the best.
There are also other 5.1 headphones out there.
The 5.1 sound seems to work in most games I tried. (not that meny tho)
-
Plantronics DSP-500 Counter-Strike Edition USB headphones.
Good enough for CPL play, good enough for me.
-
Ordered the plantronics 90 from The Nerds.
25 bucks and that included shipping.
Thanx all...
-
Just got the Medusa 5.1 headset for $105 and it came in 4 days and sounds great.....
-
Does a 5.1 headset work with a 7.1 card?

I ordered a second (spare) Plantronics 90 from Newegg.com. Bought a Plantronics 90 after my MS headset died. It is still going strong 2 (+?) years later! At $25.00 (including shipping) it is a bargain.
