Toxygen Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm looking to get a new headset for Christmas, price should be under $200 and I'll mainly be using it to listen to music and play a few games, I want it to have a mic built-in. Anyone have some recommendations for great sounding headsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 first/ what brand do you like or would like to have? second/ Do you have big ears or small ears?(some big headsets are known to cause problems for people with small ears) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxygen Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm 5"10 and I weigh 135, I'm pretty small and I have an average sized head for my size, I guess? It's not big and it's not small. I'm leaning toward these http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The Razer Megalodon 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset is what I use and is so good, I always recommend it to anyone looking for a headset for gaming. The 7.1 Surround Sound is amazing along with the in-built mic as well. Audio and mic volumes and sensitivity are easily customizable. Here's the link to it on their US site: http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169420200 $149.99 USD. You could probably find it cheaper if you looked around.

Headshot Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Logitech G930 is what i use. 7.1 surround sound. Wireless. Perfect if you have iTunes on your computer and have to go afk or something. Sound is good for like 30-40 feet from your computer i believe. 3 keys on the side of the headphones that you can program. I have them set as iTunes (you can set up multiple profiles and change them in your settings) for prev track-play/pause-next track. Good for playing a game cause you can control your iTunes from there also from when you are walking around your house. Built in Mic that gets muted when upright and has a mute button. Volume control also on side of headphones. About 10 hours of batter life. you can also use it plug'd into your charger from the computer. I like it because I don't have to deal with the cord being pulled out or yanked on by my chair or anything. http://www.logitech.com/gaming/headsets/devices/7248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal opinion though about it, the 7.1 isn't that great. I know there are plenty of Steelseries, Razer, Logitech (yes even other) headsets that would give you the same quality of SS for around or less the same price. I don't know, that's from have a Sennheiser and a Creative headset. I think it'd be best to try some of these brands, if your store has a return policy, pick one you think will work out best for you (comfort-wise) and work your way up (Since you can return it, don't mind the asian in me -.-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
