Gaming headset & Lycosa/mirror???

[Gunni Parker]

What is the best headset for around £30 i was lookin at the creative Fatalty, is the usb one that much better for the extra £20?

and other than it being shinny what is the difference between the Razer Lycosa and the mirror edition. I have gone through as many reviews going.

Tar very much.

Sorry to jump in but I'm looking for gaming headset as well and not sure which one. Is there any 5.1 or 7.1 gaming headset that not to expensive? Wireless preferably if there is

I'd suggest you get a set of proper headphones and a seperate mic. The sound quality will be much better.

I'm with Arjun806, gaming headsets have got nothing on a proper set of stereo headphones, especially the 5.1 headsets. Get a pair of goldrings, DR50 or DR100's, depending on your budget and a seperate mic, the elara clip on mic is a popular choice around here. You'll find a big difference between this setup and a headset.

The difference between the lycosa and the mirror edition is the finish, the mirror has 'a revolutionary high gloss mirror finish keytop', whereas the lycosa has a 'non-slip rubber finish'. I should be getting the standard lycosa today, looking forward to it.

Ok thanks. I think iam going to go with the standard Lycosa too.

The standard Lycosa has rubber finish keys which would be bad news for sweaty fingerprints but feels very nice whereas the Mirror Edition is just as it is described, the keys have a glossy mirror finish.

Fatal1ty ones seem the obvious choice, also the mic is detachable. My suggestion would be cordless Sennheiser which can be had for around £50 if you look hard enough. Snagging the headphones wire i and probably countless others have found to be a right pain in the backside, having the freedom to move around is worth the extra deniros i reckon just an idea..
