What Headset Do You Use..?

[ATAG_Lewis]

Let us know what headset you use and what its pros and cons are for those of us that are looking into getting some...

Provide a pic if you have the time...

Thanks folks

I use a Logitech H390....But I am working on getting a David Clark PC Headset when I become a millionaire...

https://assets.logitech.com/assets/55097/h390-gallery.png

Pros - Pretty durable, Sound is good (although I am no expert), Cable is chunky and USB look top quality, inexpensive and basic, has an on/off switch on the earpiece which is very good and I use a lot...

Cons - The fake leather deteriorates after a couple years and leaves you with material...No biggy...but don't get to liking the leatherette as its not there permanently...has a couple of settings on the earpiece, one for music and one for speech although I haven't figured out the difference yet...

[ATAG_Colander]

The cheapest I could find.
PROS:
When they get damaged (typically the padded stuff or the cable breaks) they are cheaper to replace.

Splashed out a bit a while ago.
HD650's with a Modmike attached. TiR fits great as well.

I have a set of Corsair SP 2500 speakers which havent been used once in over a year since I got these cans.

[Volunteer]

Sennheiser PC 350 had them for four years and they are as good as new but for some wear on the earpads.



Pros:
superb sound quality,
lightweight feel,
extremely comfortable even during sessions lasting hours,
outside sounds are cancelled out,
the inbuilt microphone means my voice comms are crystal clear to listen to (I am assured by other gamers),
collapsible design for easy transportation,
look good with no hideous 'gaming' flashy nonsense,
Excellent value for money given their sound construction and reliability.

Cons:
Price: but the quality and performance justifies the price. (As the old gypsy warning goes 'buy cheap buy twice').

Razer Tiamat
I have no picture but here the link http://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/gaming-audio/razer-tiamat-71

I have only good things to say about them, they have a big ear cup fot my big ears to fit inside for those long sessions, the sound quality that imitate 7.1 is not bad at all. I wont use those to produce music but as for gaming they are perfect.

[Combat Wombat]

G35 for sim, Audeze LCD-X for altered states of mind :)

[ATAG_Flare]

These super-cheap Logitech ones. The H390. They cost $25. They're probably super bad but I don't know what I'm missing so it's okay :D My only gripe is that they're USB so sometimes a pain to get to work when I plug them in cause I have regular analog speakers as well.

PROS:
Cheap
Compact
Has mic mute button and volume control that actually changes the volume on Windows.
If you've never tried good ones you'll think these are good.

CONS:
Bad sound quality compared to fancy ones like you guys have.
USB connection.

Pros:

Cons:
No idea: the first pair I have ever owned.

Sennheiser PC 360 + Asus Xonar Essence STX ...

Likes:
Open cans so I can hear telemarketers phone call and reply with the same accent.

Swing up microphone mute so TS users can`t hear said accent.

Adjusting volume control on headset makes you look like your concentrating (do this all the time when wife walks by with laundry basket).

I used to have cheap tescos £5 set and replaced them with these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plantronics-GameCom-Gaming-Headset-Surround/dp/B0079G2Y52/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1438818558&sr=8-3&keywords=gamecom

they are pretty good :
1. they are not so expensive tho that relative of course
2 surround sound
3. plug and play
4 they have a flat top to the head band so i can attach my track IR clip to it and not have to wear a hat
5. sound is good


they have been superceded by the 788 i think

[ATAG_Freya]

Logitech G430 here. Got them cheapo, have mic, sound good, and some electrical tape holds my freetrack clip right on them! (which is also held together by electricians tape - yes it's homemade, despite it's factory-built appearance) Gotta love electrical tape.

These are what I'm using, too. The TrackIR Pro Clip attaches on fine. The little USB "soundcard" that emulates 7.1 sound works quite well for what it is. Reasonably comfortable for long sessions. :thumbsup:

[ATAG_Colander]

How do the glasses fit in that for those of us that use them? :S

Not bad with the Logitech 430 -- lots of foam around the ear cup.

Not to hijack this thread but a hint for bifocal wearers: if you use TrackIR go to your eye doctor and ask for a cheap pair of single-prescription "computer glasses". Made a HUGE difference for me in spotting contacts. When you tilt your head constantly as you pan around you will be looking at the monitor through different angles of your bifocals. Frequently the screen will be out-of-focus just when you're trying to spot a tiny dot against terrain clutter. Single prescription glasses will keep the screen in sharp focus continuously, no matter what weird angle you're tilting your head at. Tell the dispensing optician to forget about the expensive coatings and designer frames. Besides, why bother to look cool when wearing TrackIR antlers? :D

Great response from the community in a short time as usual....Thanks for the input fellas...So important when you are looking at getting new hardware for yourself......Really helpfull....~S~....kudos!

[Stormrider]

I use a logitech G930 and Iam quite satisfied with it.It is comfortable to wear, for games, skype and watching movies the sound is good enough.For listening to music I should not choose this one.The software has a equalizer in it, but it doesn't make the music sound any better.
This headset has three programmable buttons, if the battery runs empty you can charge it without loosing connection.You get a very long mini-usb cable to charge it, this cable doesn't transport any audio-signal.One thing what is realy, realy and I mean realy irritating, no one in my house can use the micro-wave without me knowing because of the distortion on the signal of my headset.But still there are more things about this headset I like then I dislike.
I don't know for sure what I paid for it,I believe €130,00, but I see prices now of €100,00-€200,00.

[Moach]

I got these: http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Gaming-Headset-Virtual-Surround/dp/B0038W0OIK


Pros:

wide frequency spectrum ranging just beyond human ear limits on both bass and treble ends ~18Hz to ~25kHz (or so I think)
excellent power for enough "oomph" so you don't feel like you'd "want" it any louder
works both with the included USB dongle or directly from your sound jack
wire is long enough even for the more "creatively built" setups like mine
two sets of interchangeable ear muffs, one more leather-ey and another more spongey - providing different feel and sound experience to suit your needs
the cable "reverts" to a standard stereo p2 between the USB dongle and the USB-like jack on the headset, allowing you to wire a Buttkicker device and/or plug directly to the sound card
mic is built in and retracts back into the left earpiece for when you don't need it
TrackClip Pro attaches like a glove to the area between the head-size extender and the padded overhead band
cheap as dirt, for the great value it is
comfortable enough to forget you're wearing it, yet firm enough to provide good TrackIR centering reliability

Cons:

my original cable broke, and it did on the USB-like section leading up to the headset - it became unusable, but led to another unforeseen "Pro" - their tech support is great, and they shipped me a new cable free of charge, with little to no questions asked - it never broke since (suspect they fixed the underlying weak spot)

it "buzzes" (albeit faintly) in protest when the output is set above 16 bit (only available if you plug straight into the soundcard) - sound quality is far better at 16bit - still, I have never noticed any audible disadvantage to that over 24bit... and I got a pretty picky ear, having been a musician for the last decade and a half...

they no longer seem to make these, so grab them before you can't find new ones out there...

Sennheiser G4ME ONE

very good sound. Position audio so I can tell where enemy is for FPS. Clear mic.

Expensiv but it should last long time

pro and con - can hear children when they wake at night as open design. Wanted the ZERO headset but not so good to hear other things,.

I have the Sennheiser G4ME Zero

It makes my ears orgasm.

Good, comfortable headset with great sound quality.

The only downside to this series is you need an amplifier if you want good volume. Some sound cards might already have this. I bought a Soundblaster Z, which does the trick. Great audio. Great mic.

I also have one of these, but I kept running into problems with separate mics and had a lot of complaints from buddies on TS, so I went with the Sennheiser. Still have it, it's a good headseat. I even dropped my warthog joystick in it and smashed in one of the ear cups. It didn't affect the internals at all. It still sounds great. It has the same amplifier need as the Sennheiser. It is also far cheaper.

It is a great sounding headset, but I am not a fan of the open ear headsets, which is the reason I got the Sennheiser Zero instead of the One




The other headset I have is "Beats by Dr. Dre"

http://www5.pcmag.com/media/images/192691-monster-beats-by-dr-dre-front.jpg

Amazing bass. It gave an amazing, deep sound to explosions.. I had these for a few years. Great headphones. The only downside I've had is the 'white out' noise is sensative. I would get a 'humm' when things were silent because of electric interference. That is mostly due to my computer setup needing a very long headphone cord.

The downside is that internally they are fragile (newer models might be better). Also, it requires batteries (not cordless, just battery powered).

Thanks for that info. I wear bifocals, and have been struggling trying to locate contacts.

[Perfesser]

I've had this headset for a long time now. They're some Turtle Beach model, discontinued now. I originally bought them to mount my Freetrack LED's instead of a hat. I don't much like the clip style. The farther apart the lights are the more accurately they will be tracked(I see the phone camera picks up the IR LED's very well).

The head cushion elastics went first. Packing foam and duct tape to the rescue.

The foam ear bits were always too thin for long sessions and became uncomfortable. With some foam pipe insulation and the handyman's secret weapon I extended the ear pads for a more comfortable fit(earpiece on the left) . This has worked great for quite a while but I've increasingly been suffering "wardrobe malfunctions" with them.


Turns out you can buy new ear pads quite reasonably priced. Mine were under $20 from http://www.scansound.com . You Euro guys can search "headset cushions" for someone on that side of the pond.
All you need is to measure the diameter(good instructions on the site) and the new ones slip right in.
Much better than the old foam, these are actual leather(ette?). They're still a bit thin but while youtubing the subject I found an elegant fix.

Once the new pads are on you can tuck a piece of rope under the pads to extend them out.
The pad on the right shows the finished product - looks better than new!

[Nork]

Logitech G35 USB headphones.
7.1 Surround,comfortable, configurable, and great tonal range.
Track IR clip fits ok but mine has a 4mm bolt through it anyway just to make sure it doesn't move!
Only downside is the fake leather on the cushions deteriorates after some years of flying but still very comfortable.

If not, i stand under correction but you can still use ts without headset or aux mike, just select the built in one. You just need to install the ts software surely.

Like Milo, I'm using the SteelSeries Siberia 800. Could of bought the 840's since they are now gradually replacing the 800 series, but didn't like the contrasting colour of the earcup cover plates, and the added functionality didn't warrant the added cost (I have no need of bluetooth functionality, already having ear-buds that work for that).

The headset is fully wireless with about a 5-10 meter (unobstructed) range. It has an extending mic-boom in the left earcup. Sounds 'OK' for a headset, but wouldn't listen to music on them due to lack of fidelity over proper headphones. Comes with 2 batteries (if memory serves) that look not unlike old Nokia 3330 mobile phone batteries. Seem to last a fair amount of time, but not up to the stated timeframe, so bought 2 additional spares for even rotation.

It is possible to use the mic without extending it, but it causes a small amount of 'feedback echo' in the earcup speakers of your own voice when speaking. Probably RF interference between the mic and speaker magnets. Extended the mic works without issue, and is a flexible boom that can be adjusted to any angle/position.

These replaced a Roccat Kave 5.1 headset I had prior, that sat mostly unused for 4-5 years, but due to interior heat & humidity (mid-high 20's ambient temperature), the left ear cup hinge started to crack, and eventually broke. One side being plastic (that bears all the load) and the other side being metal (that bears little, if any load at all). I do believe this was a known problem. Since I bought mine the model was superceeded with a new design. Wish I'd of known before I dropped £80 on them.

I use the Sennheiser 450 headphones with a cheap Logitech desk mic. Great quality and no problems (except having to replace the headphone cable after getting the jack bent from it getting stuck in the car door) with either of them for over 3 years.

[9./JG52 Kettarian_Fox]

Sennheiser HD598 (Creative Titanium HD as a sound card)

Had these for 5 years, couldn't have been happier. Music, gaming, movies - they do'em all.
Supercomfy - wear them all day long if you like, and it aint personal - pretty much everyone who owns them agrees. It's just the way they are built.
Wide soundstage with excellent 3d positioning. Multichannel sound mixed properly by soundcard features or native Windows 10 functionality works like magic.
Very flat frequency response - therefore work well for every kind of sound. But especially well for classical music. Strings are a pure joy to hear.



A relatively cheap window into the world of high fidelity sound.
Thx Sennheiser!


Oh, and a ModMic. Beware, this mic requires a very good input channel on your sound card otherwise it's too quiet (mine is not up to scratch so I have to use a lot of amplification which sadly adds a bit of distortion). But a great concept in itself.

Try earbuds for TeamSpeak (TS) while at the same time using the headset or speakers of choice. I use the earbuds with 5.1 surround speakers because I find headsets uncomfortable. The earbuds permit separate management of TS sounds without interfering with the main sound. The RadioFX add-in permits almost limitless manipulation of earbud frequencies for that "WWII" radio sound without touching the CLoD sounds. :lala:

[JG51Ogg]

Plantronics GameCom 780
Pros:
Cheap: I bought 2 pairs from Best buy when they were 39.99 each one for home one for the laptop.
Nice sound: it has stereo sound and the audio is really nice whether gaming or listening to music.
Easy install software: If you're running windows 10 it's already there on Microsoft's list.
Comfortable: they fit nicely and the headband is very well stuffed so the headset doesn't hurt when you've work it too long.
Easy audio controls: On the rear of the headset there is a mute switch and a volume control. Volume control turns up and down computers audio.

Cons:
Sound: It's stereo not surround sound but that's OK because I can still hear you. But a friend has some Sehheuser (sp?) and these sound just as good.
Attaching TrackIR track clip: The head band is so plush I had to do a little mod so the headset clip can reach around it.
Microphone sensitivity: The Microphone is so sensitive that before I tuned it down you could hear me breathing with the mouth piece above my head.

That's about it. you wanted a review.

[ATAG_Headshot]

I use the Sennheiser Game One headset. It has a really high quality microphone, and the speakers sound amazing. I pair that with a Xonar Essence STX audio card, which gives me full surround sound out of stereo headphones. Unlike some other gaming 7.1 headsets which have a bunch of small speakers in them this allows me to have a really high quality speaker and still get good directional sound. It's enough that I've actually caught myself ducking in shooters as rounds snap past my head.

I'm still using the same Senheiser HD 205 headphones with a Track IR... and logitech webcam as my mic on push to talk.

I got the senheisers for about £10 at the end of production... and man... they are really really good headphones.

That has been the same headset for me since I started... Though I was initially using edTracker... and then got Track IR about a year in.

everything still works flawlessly.

Plantronics GameCom 780
Pros:
Cheap: I bought 2 pairs from Best buy when they were 39.99 each one for home one for the laptop.
Nice sound: it has stereo sound and the audio is really nice whether gaming or listening to music.
Easy install software: If you're running windows 10 it's already there on Microsoft's list.
Comfortable: they fit nicely and the headband is very well stuffed so the headset doesn't hurt when you've work it too long.
Easy audio controls: On the rear of the headset there is a mute switch and a volume control. Volume control turns up and down computers audio.

Cons:
Sound: It's stereo not surround sound (https://10unbiased.com/best-bluetooth-speakers/) but that's OK because I can still hear you. But a friend has some Sehheuser (sp?) and these sound just as good.
Attaching TrackIR track clip: The head band is so plush I had to do a little mod so the headset clip can reach around it.
Microphone sensitivity: The Microphone is so sensitive that before I tuned it down you could hear me breathing with the mouth piece above my head.

That's about it. you wanted a review.

I have the Sennheiser G4ME Zero

It makes my ears orgasm.

Good, comfortable headset with great sound quality.

The only downside to this series is you need an amplifier if you want good volume. Some sound cards might already have this. I bought a Soundblaster Z, which does the trick. Great audio. Great mic.







I also have one of these, but I kept running into problems with separate mics and had a lot of complaints from buddies on TS, so I went with the Sennheiser. Still have it, it's a good headseat. I even dropped my warthog joystick in it and smashed in one of the ear cups. It didn't affect the internals at all. It still sounds great. It has the same amplifier need as the Sennheiser. It is also far cheaper.

It is a great sounding headset, but I am not a fan of the open ear headsets, which is the reason I got the Sennheiser Zero instead of the One




The other headset I have is "Beats by Dr. Dre"

Amazing bass. It gave an amazing, deep sound to explosions.. I had these for a few years. Great headphones (https://www.toppctech.com/best-bluetooth-headphones-under-200/). The only downside I've had is the 'white out' noise is sensative. I would get a 'humm' when things were silent because of electric interference. That is mostly due to my computer setup needing a very long headphone cord.

The downside is that internally they are fragile (newer models might be better). Also, it requires batteries (not cordless, just battery powered).

Does anyone have any ideas?

I use Cloud Alphas, strong bass, the 4.312 sound was ridiculous in them, the cannons actually sounded like you wouldnt wanna be infront of them

Spatial sound is an enhanced immersive audio experience where sounds can flow around you, including overhead, in three-dimensional virtual space. Spatial sound provides an enhanced atmosphere which traditional surround sound formats cannot.

With spatial sound, all your movies, music and games will sound better.

The Sennheiser Game Zero professional noise blocking gaming headset is the no compromise gaming headset. Excelent Product.
