Headset Recommendations

[jackattack987 0]

I just want to know what headset would you recommend to get because my current one has broke (I have no sound), so instead of buying the same headset i want to get a different one.

Im looking in the price range of £10-£40.

So what would you recommend?

for that pricerange Gamecom Plantronics 780 are a good bet, they are the ones I have.

Upside: Great quality mic and headphones, also they stay comfortable for quite a period of time. If you like to use surround sound too then the option is always there but personally I do not use it.

Downside: alot of noise seems to escape the headphones so if you share a room with someone say then it might be bad.

Also make sure if you get these then you install the software so you can turn on low frequency protection, so that the mic won't turn into static on CSS (which uses low frequencies)

The headset I have is the Turtle Beach X12. They are very comfortable to wear for a long period of time and have a very nice sound to them and are 5.1 Speaker setup. The mic is good even though my mic sounds bad, this is because my sound card is fucked. You can find this headset for around £30-£40 on many website on the internet, like maplin.co.uk . Hope you find a mic that you like.

If you're like me and you want to be able to hear out of the other ear to be sure you're not talking too loud and risk that awkward moment when you parents walk in as you're calling someone an autistic cuntbag on teamspeak, then you'll like this one

Wouldn't reccomend Turtle Beaches at all, had some ZX something or other and they broke after 9 months, never did anything to them for them to do this. Sennheiser are good and Logitech, and the ones Jamie said are really good, even valve sell them on their website.

Its just like phones, the cheaper they are the harder they are to get rid of

I have Turtlebeaches atm, which have worked fine for me.. i'll be converting to Microsoft though. The Plantronics got much better reviews.

Are you looking for specifically gaming headsets or just any old decent headphones?
