Just bought a pair of Corsair HS1's, and let me tell you...its like wearing a featherlight pillow on your head. Memory foam ear cups, ultra padded top piece (whatever it's called), and quality sound. I'm also a fan of the USB only interface (though I'm sure some don't like it). Well worth the 99 bucks I paid for it. I highly recommend purchasing these if it's within your budget. Old headset was an ABS FX-7 and had good quality sound/mic, but the comfort factor gets a -52345 out of 5 stars.
obviously you're not a golfer

How big is the difference between the normal Steelseries siberia v2 and the ones with the usb soundcard, assuming your soundcard is fairly cheap? Is it worth paying ~$20 extra for it (and not being able to get it in orange!)?


The only difference is it lets you pinpoint the location of a sound in 3d space more accurately. If you don't play FPS its not worth it at all, In my opinion its not worth it anyway, but Im a pretty casual FPS player

and the orange ones look so damn sexy

Hey guys,

Didn't wanna make a new thread so I'm just going to add to this one.

I would like to buy a new pair of headphones, the problem is that I need a microphone as well. Now, I do remember seeing a pair of earphones that also had a mic that was built into the cord... Now I know that people are going to tell me that a headset is way better than headphones but I really don't care. This is a personal preference and I'm not changing my mind. Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I was looking on newegg and found some decent looking Razer ones but they didn't have a mic...

You can buy a clip-on mic and attach that to the cord. Wrap the cords around each other and it's really not any more cabling hassle. If you're fine with such a combination, it will increase the number of options you have. But even if you want a non-headset with an inline mic, there are some options left of course.

Generally the best values in the headphones market--in terms of sound quality, durability, comfort, etc.--aren't in products by gamer peripheral brands.

What price range are you looking at? Earbuds, canalphones, on-ear headphones, or over-ear headphones? Any type of sound you prefer, or requirements on how it fits or anything else to consider?

I'm using in-ear headphones. Colby's CVE31, I like em but I need a mic. I really don't like to combine stuff, currently I'm using a headset for the mic and then my earphones for my sound and I hate it.

Any suggestions? Price... Well if I think it is worth it I'll spend more but I'm not looking to spend too much, most likely under $50.

Is there any good bluetooth microphone you can just put on one of your ears? Like the bluetooth "hands free" units you see with cellphones? I guess a little like the XBOX 360 thing although i've never used it.

If you're looking for in-ears, including those that have microphones, this review mega-thread is a decent place to start.

Is a clip-on mic really such a hassle if you already have a headphone cable? You could sleeve both cables together if you need to, but that's probably overkill.

You don't want a gaming headset (Unless you have unlimited funds.) They're overpriced and sacrifice quality.

I don't normally use headphones for the computer, prefer to use speakers. With a one-ear solution i could route skype/vent/mumble through that and have game sounds through speakers, would be optimal :>

That post wasn't directed at you, by the way, but that was probably unclear on my part.

I've never heard of somebody wanting to wear a standalone Bluetooth microphone (of course I see why that would be desired), so I'm unfamiliar with such products. Bluetooth headsets are much more common I think. I think you could just wear such a headset and not use the audio out from it. Select the audio output device to be the speakers and the audio input to be the microphone on the Bluetooth headset.

I have Logitech's G35 headset. I like it. It cost me about $130 (I think) and in true Logitech fashion, the build quality and performance are good. Some dandy features are 7.1 surround sound, a long braided cord, flip-up microphone mute (with a red LED on the end of the microphone so you can see whether or not you're muted in your peripheral vision), and volume controls and some function keys on the left earphone.

I'd recommend it to a friend.

Zeesh 130 i got mine for around 90 i rarely see it going for the MSRP

G35 and Corsair HS1 are my personal favs for headsets a good mix between price, performance and comfort, esp for laptops that have bad sound quality a good usb headset is great.

If people are looking for the G35 drivers that aren't a year old

nvm they just realized the non beta while ago.

Thanks, that gives me everything I need pretty much. Now to make a decision...

I too have been lurking on this thread as I need to replace my 10 year old $20 plantronics that finally had the left 'phone short out. They've been through the trenches in the last 10+ years but i'm looking for something a little better.

Thanks to a couple of recommendations in this thread i did some research into the Sony MDR V6's. Both Amazon and Newegg had stellar reviews for these headphones. Newegg actually had 100% 5 egg reviews which i found to be quite impressive. Best part is they are only $70, which is about $50 cheaper than the Sennheiser PC350's I almost bought after reading this thread. I can use the mic off my old plantronics which still works great.

Thanks to everyone for their input (as mixed as all the opinions were). I feel pretty confident in this purchase now.

Now my search continues for the perfect keyboard replacement to a 15 year old board that's dying a slow death... so hard to decide on mechanical switches when you don't have the option of trying them out beforehand (without paying of course).

I didn't really want to start a new thread about headsets so I'd ask here:

Can anyone recommend me an headset with decent sound quality, a mic, and sound isolation?

The only one I found was the Steelseries H7 but they are really expensive. o.0
