Gaming Headset question..

[bigbadish]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pick myself up a new headset after hoovering the wire up of the old one (please don't ask). I've been looking at the Sennheiser PC 111 Headset, which is one of these Skype single ear headsets and I can pick up for around £10. I am wondering if these single ear types are any good as they do seem like a nice change.

Has anyone any suggestions on any other headset for that sort of price, or actually use one of these single ear headsets to game?

Cheers.

Single ear headsets are generally awful if you're into FPS games at all - you lose all the positional audio.

I only play Lord of the Rings Online really so no FPS'ers

the cheap skype ones are fine for you imo.

I think I'll give them a go as they look very nice, I don't require 5.1 surround sound for LoTRO or any other MMO, they're a solid brand, decently priced and hopefully I won't get sore ears if I'm playing for long periods as I can swap ears .

We shall see, cheers.
