Gaming Headset

Well my microsoft life chat lx-3000 headset
finally is no longer functional its a great headset with good quality and good microphone
but i ran over the cord too many times with my chair leaving an exposed wire
i think they were great, especially for the price

looking for a new headset thought maybe you guys could recommend something better
if not i might just buy these again lol

looking for something preferably around the same price $60-$70 in store
or just post up your fav's

thanks

Does me just fine

 

I'm using a Trust HS 2200
i'm very happy with it
never had any problems before ...
on Ebay (Trust HS 2200)

 

i always say dont trust, trust..

i've had 3 products of trust they stopped working in a week

 

For FPS gaming or games that require accurate sound positioning, and games that dont have base:

SteelSeries 5Hv2 -- Best Headset

This headset SUCKS for music and games with special effects and base. Its amazing for games like:

CS
CS:S
and Generally MOST fps games.

Anyways have fun!

 

fyi, you can take electrical tape an reinsulate your headset/splice wires together until it's functional given you're willing to give it a try.

that said if you MUST buy a new headset...

5.1 channel surround sound... decent bass.

 

DO NOT get 5.1 surround sound headsets. They are a waste of money. Its all hype. Also you won't get very good acoustics from a gaming headset. The best thing to get is a good headphone and a cheap mic. Here is a good one:

thanks for the posts,
yea i was planning on using electrical tape but
for the day i posted this and the next, i kept fidgeting with it, but i couldn't get it in the exact position
to work what so ever....
but then after getting home from being away for a few days, since then
its worked perfectly

if problems occur again
i'll definitely check these headsets out
thanks again

creative fatal1ty are cheap but amazing.
not too much bass tho!

 

I was going to say the same. My friend has a pair, and I'm buying a pair next week, I use some Altec Lansing's for music though.

Sennheiser is probably one of the best brands for headphones. They are extremely good for games, and have great base for music.

 

for your cord problem- if you have your desktop underneath your computer, then feed the chord around the back of the desk so the chord sits on top of your desk. i had the same problem as you and this is how i fixed it.

 

I truly don't bother about a 'gaming' headset. Why should I? Got my stereos open, built-in micro in my webcam. Just fine.

Tough I have bought a Sweex headset for €3, it's doing great, especially for what it costed
