looking for gaming headsets
Nyking754:
i was thinking about getting the razor megalodon but there were lots of negative reviews on it :-\
could some1 tell me wats a good headset for gaming, music and anime.
also they must be comfortable as ill be having them on for hours
budget= $150
kitamesume:
Thermaltake Shock spin [62$ newegg] i got this one about a month ago, its soooo comfortable that i`d wear it the whole day and forget i`m wearing them at all, once stood from my chair and got the plug pulled out of the socket, heh, no damage done. sound quality wise, its clarity is really good, the bass on the other hand is enough but not boomy, the loudness of the headset is just right, but not loud. the reason i bought this over the others is that the shop had it for 25% off.
the rest that some people recommended to me:
RAZER Piranha [60$ newegg]
RAZER Carcharias [80$ newegg]
Sennheiser HD428 [60$ newegg]
Sennheiser HD448 [130$ newegg]
Sennheiser HD518 [180$ newegg]
the sennheiser were way off my budget... the HD428 wasn't on the vendor's list, would've bought that if it was available...
the last sennheiser is an audiophile headphone.
i`m not a fan of USB based headset, wouldn't be able to use it on my MP3.

Gaming headphones are pure shit, don't ever waste your money on them.
Get a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD700 and a desktop or clip-on microphone if you need it.
If you can spend a little more then get the Ultrasone HiFi 580.

Those headphones are garbage. For that money you could have bought pretty solid IEMs or headphones.

like i said, i got it for 25% off, thats about 45$ worth. the others @ below 50$ are local brands that i havent even heard of.
ah, including the discount for using cash[10% off] instead of credit card, i got it for 40$ worth.
any brand/models in mind? i`ll look them up if they exist on nearby vendors/shops. i dont like shipping stuffs, fcking shipping fees and tax are expensive.

I have an Audio-technica desk mic and Sennheiser HD 555 head phones
