Headsets

[`Pepper.]

Hello, I have $60 bucks to burn, and my current headset I don't really like. My dog got at it last week, so I am going to replace it.

 

Here is what I have, It was good when I used it for my PS3, but it isn't so great now (1 3/4 years ive had it). It had a good run, but It needs to be retired now. I also got ripped off and bought it for $90 in town.

That headset looks fine.

Here is a better list of what I have been looking at, if anyone has used these, I would want to know what you think of them.

 

Creative Fatal1ty Headset

 

SENNHEISER PC151

 

RAZER Carcharias

 

TRITTON AX PC Pro

 

Most are more than $60 but I get paid in a week so w/e

If you want to put out I recommend the G35. I bought it a few months ago, its really nice and has amazing sound quality and bass.

I had the Creative Fatal1ty Headset but I couldn't get the mic working on Windows 7, Creative only has "beta" drivers.

 

G35 is way above his limit.

$105 is a pretty good deal for a headset to last. It has a 2 year warrenty, and is very nice. He also mentioned a pay check so I felt $40 wasn't to bad.

I'll think about the G35, I like the 2 year warranty. If I go that high, I will probably look at some others too then.

 

Has anyone had any experience with the Razer Barracuda, I have only seen it in store, but have never heard it. I know it comfortable, but what about sound/drivers.

 

Also, that is to bad about the Fatal1ty, because I have windows 7.

The creative and the first logitech you posted Ive read over and over again that they are pretty uncomfotable

 

I have Sennheisers HD555 and I love them they are super comfortable, good sound... I like their gaming version but its 120 bucks...

 

Out of the ones you posted Id prolly do the Sennheisers

 

My cousin had the barachuda he liked them but they are cheaply made and broke fairly fast... like most "gaming" headset its cheap material.. I wouldnt buy it

G35 just takes like 2 days to break in the headset. Its worth it.

Sennheiser 555's are not available,

 

I know sennheisers are good, I have used their stuff before.

 

So it really comes down to waiting for 555's in Canada (odd as it is in stock in the USA, and they share the same stock) or go with the G35's... I will think a little on this.

 

And yes the first logitech, in the first post, are not that great. after about a month they were comfortable. I suggest other things for that price.
