Headset + Mic + Gaming

[BenJ]

My bro needs a new headset and we've come up with a short list of:

SpeedLink Medusa SL-8793 5.1 ProGamer Edition £43.46
Steelsound 5H Gaming Headset £46.94
Icemat Siberia Audio Headset - White £35.19

Any pros and cons owners of these headsets know of would be helpful.

Cheers.

they all suck, get a set of proper headphones not 'gaming' headphones

in what way do they suck? if you are going to post an opinion at least back it up...

They are for gaming and that is what they will be used for? SO surely gaming headsets would be a good buy? Why spent loads on music headphones when all they are going to be used for is to hear footsteps and gun fire?

if you got a low budget get the Mudusa's, 5.1 Surround and mic built in cant moan for under 50 notes

What soundcard is your bro using? If it's x-fi of even audigy 2 then stereo headphones do a great job of 3D positioning. I'm expecting delivery today or tomorrow of some Audio technica ATH A900. Meant to be one of the best for gaming, along with beyerdynamic dt77pro.
You could look into the Audio technica A500 perhaps. Probably within budget, head-fi.org will advise about that.

Steelsound 5H Gaming Headset all the way, they are class perfect sound and made for gaming.

We ordered the creative ep-630 in ear earphones in the end. Only cost £14. They appear to be quite bassey and not quite as good as the in ear earphones that i have (Sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia Headphones) but they are £10 cheaper.

At least you saved some money i suppose...
