Evening chaps,

My GF is getting me a new headset for Christmas and I don't know which ones are the best for the money!

She said is got to be about £65 so anything around that mark would be lovely!

Currently have a SoundBlaster Xi-Fi Gamer card so would be nice if it wasn't USB but if it's better to go USB then let me know!

Cheers!

Will work very nicely with the X-Fi and much better sound quality than your average gaming headphones.

Both look really good and the reviews appear to go in the Corsairs favour! What are the Razer headsets like?

Pro tip.

Buy a pair for £60 headphones, then buy a £5 clip-on mic.

Sound quality will be infinitely better.

£60 will net you Sony MDR-V6s - which get some great reivews.

Also, check out websites like http://www.head-fi.org - forums is a great place to ask any questions.
