    What Headset Do You Use..?

    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...



    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...

    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.

    You need a good soundcard to drive them though.

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

    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/gamin...azer-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.
