LordHascouf Simply Enfuego Vanguard. 0	Posted - 2012.11.29 11:43:00 - [1] - Quote After much deliberation I am going to buy a new headset. I figured a community such as ours would have some experience with such a matter and would be able to help me sort through all the marketing lies. I need something with noise cancelling. I live in a very hot climate and often have fans running. I would also like something with decent quality mic. I do have a budget of 150 USD. Please post your suggestions and experiences with products. Thank you in advance for you help finding a suitable product.

Just a hunch, though. After more research it is indeed the charger port. These look like a great set. Omidirectional Noise cancellation is another greats selling point.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire 5682	Posted - 2012.11.29 12:33:00 - [6] - Quote Yeah like you said, charges with a cable over usb, and yes you can have the charger connected while using it as well. You get notified well in time before the battery runs out, think I've used it for over 30 min when it started to warn before it actually died. I found them to be very comfortable as well which is one of the most important things for long use obviously. Easy to mute the microphone when needed by just flipping it up towards the headset, also has a button on the side to control volume. /c GÿàGÿàGÿà Secure 3rd party service GÿàGÿàGÿà Visit my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar' Follow me on Twitter @Chribba

That is a big selling point for me as I am always told i have lots of back ground noise on comms. I am glad to see more Headsets though helps to zero on the perfect one to fit my needs.

Kiteo Hatto Equanimity Order 306	Posted - 2012.11.29 14:38:00 - [10] - Quote I got Platronics 780 and they are absolutely AMAZING. Even for being USB their 7.1 dolby sound is just........, well, it made me moist the first time i tested them with Moh:W and a bunch of other games. Eve sounds and Aura's voice are also just super clear <3. People also tell me that my mic is clear and crisp. I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with the purchase. I have onboard realtek soundcard(not that it matters since its a usb headset) so nothing special but this headset is a beast. There are buttons on the left earpiece, volume scrollwheel thing and a button to turn surround on/off. Mute mic button is also on the left ear :) "That's okay it annoys me when people pile on new definitions to the word sandbox every time CCP does something they don't like." - Alara IonStorm GD is where 60% of threads make you dumber and 10% which provide you with entertainment, the remaining 30% is a mix of both.

Holy One 301	Posted - 2012.11.29 14:41:00 - [11] - Quote I just use $6 ross headphones and a $8 plantronics boom mic. When I was stupid/rich I used to get branded 'gaming headsets' but after running over my 5th -ú100+ set with the chair I got to see the light.

Vertisce Soritenshi Tactical Vendor of Services and Goods Partners of Industrial Service and Salvage 1851	Posted - 2012.11.29 15:15:00 - [16] - Quote The only thing I hate about wireless devices is the fact that they are wireless. I hate it when my ** stops working in the middle of a fleet battle or when I am trying to talk to someone in TS or Vent. I have found the Razer products to be quality at a fair price. This is the headset I have. I guess if you have the option to charge it via a cord and use it at the same time then a wireless device is fine. I plan to replace my Naga with a new one that does that. http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-carcharias There are others that are more expensive and even better but that one was $80 and has been excellent.

That is quite sad really. If your buying anything other then sennheiser your buying the wrong product. Personally I hate headsets with mics attached. I go for proper headfones and a seperate mic.

Not everyone is an audiophile :P I have sennheiser 202s that are nice and worn now and they are great but im honestly happy with my platronics. You gonna tell OP to get a sound card and an amp too ?

Rossy Ocifer Unscoped No Big Deal. 0	Posted - 2012.11.29 20:16:00 - [22] - Quote coming from a bit of a hi fi enthusiast. no headset is worth the gaming mark up it gets. check out the frequency range it has. 20 -20 000 is the usual range for all of these headsets and too be honest its kinda weak. you'll find this range on $60 headsets to $250 headsets. and since they all have the same frequency range, they are all pretty much the same. (save some extra bass effect which will actually only come from the shape and design of the actual ear muff that sits over your ear.) if the seller doesnt show specs such as frequency range, i wouldnt buy it. 7.1 in a headset is a massive overkill since you're trying to fit 7 separate drivers in a single ear cup. any surround sound in a headset is actually overkill and to me sounds like crap. you will still here noise in front and behind you with a stereo headset. "diminishing returns" is a phrase widely used when buying any type of speaker because generally you end up spending way more money for a little difference.

I do love Sennhieser also I had a very nice set of headphones a few years back. I think expanding the discussion to Microphone options as well sounds like a good idea. Back to the original post I do require noise canalization due to the excessive fans in my house.
Arcaus Rotrau Romali Liquid Lucifer Industries 9	Posted - 2012.11.29 22:42:00 - [24] - Quote I recently got the Cooler Master Storm Sirius , real 5.1 not virtual (although I probably couldn't tell the difference). No complaints with it so far. Wired, usb or 3.5 connections means it can cause conflicts if you have a onboard sound or a dedicated card though.
CausticS0da Fweddit I Whip My Slaves Back and Forth 72	Posted - 2012.11.29 22:54:00 - [25] - Quote I used the razer carcharias when I was on a PC and thought they were good for the price. Very comfortable and well designed. (They seemd to last too unlike some of their mice). I'm currently using an iMac to play eve and due to recent complaints about the quality of my inbuilt mic I spent a while shopping for a new headset. Then I realised I had a jawbone era lying around. I've hooked that up and can't believe I hadn't thought of it earlier. Great quality, very good noise cancellation, and obviously lighter and more comfortable than a 'normal' headset for voice comms. If you want headphones and mic then go for it, just sayin' a good bluetooth headset can also do the job.

It is wired (well a cloth covered cable) but it's impressively long and more importantly the sound quality is very good, and even more importantly, the headset is the only comfortable one I've managed to find! Since I wear glasses, most headphone sets just squish my ears after a bit of wearing them, and I hate the inner ear type. Anyway, just pointing out, if you wear glasses, you'll love these. If not, well carry on and good luck whatever you end up with =)

Recently bought a pair of the 780's, but I wouldn't consider them amazing. First, the over-ear cushions are shaped for a square ear; my ears aren't square, hence wearing for more than a couple hours at a stretch and the tops of my ears begin to hurt from the constant pressure. Second, they're not noise-cancelling in any way, shape, or form, so sound from outside affects what you're listening to (I often have to turn up the volume to hear over my apartment's heater, which isn't loud). On the plus side, there's a very nice stereo kind of feature (don't know what it's called), which REALLY enhances stereo sound quality. But I'm still looking for something comfortable and wireless that can last for upwards of 6 hours at a stretch (when I'm doing my web dev I'm often listening to tunes for hours at a stretch).

QFT. But i prefer having a headset mic. Got a set of PC 330's they are hands down the best headfones ive ever owned. Great sound quality for music and games. Dont get fooled into getting digital 7.1/5.1 systems and they distort sound in a way that its creators never intended (usually ending up with a worse effect) and even the true 5.1 headsets never have the quality of driver that a good stereo set has. With the limited space available in a headset you really dont need to be going for any kind of surround sound regardless if marketing teams say it will help you "pinpoint enemys" because it wont do any better than a good stereo set.
