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 | ||

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... Razer headphones (No mic) | ||

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? | ||

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.

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 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. | ||

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 :> | ||

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. | ||

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 ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/audio/beta/ nvm they just realized the non beta while ago. | ||

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

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). | ||

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 | ||
