Looking for Headset!

[kwahamoT]

Hello, it's me....

Okay no.

I am looking for a new headset as my one currently.. is a £10 from EBAY. (AKA best on the market, obviously).
I am open to suggestions.
I have been told about the Hyperx Cloud 2. The sound is apparently amazing but the microphone isn't anything too special.

I need amazing sound and decent microphone into one.

My budget is below £150. (Can go a little over).


Thanks :)

I know it's not the norm but I have really liked my Sony MDR1R headphones. They are more of a premium studio style headset and I just have a standalone cheap microphone on my desk. I've never had anyone complain about sound quality before.

Personally I don't like something right in front of my mouth all the time.

They are a little more than you want to spend but I would suggest at least considering the mic on the desk option.

Hope you find something you like!

I will prefer two here that I have seen good reviews about

First is: Corsair Void SE Wireless Gaming Headset. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming...s=Corsair+Void

Second is: Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech%A0G63...iglink20390-20
I would chose the first one by Corsair. The comfort is great on these and for the price you can't beat it.

Sennheiser or bust

As most people would say.

God alone knows why they would say that.

Depends on what you want to use it for, Sennheiser are awesome for sound quality etc, no idea about comfort but judging by the reviews around this company comes out near the top often, however it is also possibly out of your price range (around £200-250 last time I weeped at one of their sets).

TurtleBeach have their name, but from all the searching I have done (was looking in to wireless headsets a few weeks ago, ended up side tracking in to wired headsets as well) only one or two models are truly good, the rest trade on their name and have issues. (Also I dont like them as of the two I have owned both have been returned faulty)
Corsair, they do good gaming stuff, cant comment really on headsets.
Others that I have seen come up; Razor, some others.

I tend to default my searches to big named review pages & then look through forums. PCGamer did a review a while ago putting a Steelseries top, but these are WIRELESS.

One thing to bare in mind with a lot of suggestions is a surprising number of people play with headphones (not headsets) + mic separately (like BobasHenchman above). When searching the difference (took me ages to work it out - I am slow at times) is headphone vs headset.

Sorry cannot give definitive links but when it comes to perhiphirals personal taste comes in to it far more than "what gfx card is good" :)

Ive had great luck with my razer megolodon. Its a few years old but if you can pick one up somewhere they are probably fairly cheap by now

I ended up going with the Corsair Void RGB Headset... it was an upgrade to the Corsair 2000 that I had previously. I tried out sennheiser and ended up returning them when I was unable to hear the difference for the exorbitant price tag.

Quick review... they are very comfortable for long game play sessions (or for hours listening to music while writing papers!!), sound is flat out amazing for the price. I don't claim to be an audiophile or anything, but they sound the same as the Sennheiser PC 363D at less than half the price... AND WIRELESS.

Very happy with the Void RGB.

here is a really good set of headphones i personally use, the sound is amazing, yea its a hard mic set up but the sound quality is unsurmounted, theyre Sades SA-902 http://www.amazon.com/Sades-SA-902-S.../dp/B00HEXKAO2 or if you want pounds http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sades-SA-902.../dp/B00FFHBVAG theres more expensive ones found here that might tickle your fancy better than i could afford at the time but for $30 theyre amazing
