New gaming headset

Staffy50 · 3 Nov 2013 at 18:59

Looking for a new headset for gaming, mainly FPS a la BF4. (5.1 or 7.1)

Around the £100 mark, any advice and recommendations please?

Cheers

I have the 1500 v2 too, very comfortable on my head even after 7 hours plus. Sound quality is good, both surround and stereo.

A bit below your budget but i'm using the Roccat Kave 5.1, they are excellent for BF3/BF4.

Some say they find them uncomfortable but i use them on 10 hour sessions and have no issues.

Just ordered the Roccat Kave 5.1 myself, can let you know how I feel about them in 2 days if you're not in a hurry. I've got a rather large head so I'm interested to see how I fare, some people say the Roccat isn't comfy but I don't know what head size/shape they had!

i have a large head for reference

My heads medium sized, but thanks!

Will check them both out

The Kave has a very nice mic, but on my rig I hear a constant hissing which is too annoying, back they go

Anyone know how to DSR something? I don't think they're faulty as such, it seems they just hiss in some peoples rigs. I can only see how to RMA a faulty item...

Ah i hate that... Big no IMO

I think you have to go to the contact bit, and theres an option there?

well i went for the G430's for no competitor pricing!.. Lets see how they are when they get here.

Well I opted for the Turtle Beach PX22 just coz I've always had Turtle Beach and the PX22 are compatible with my PS3, 360 & PC aswell as Phone/Ipod. Sound quality wise there not the best but it is very good quality when playing BF4, So i recommend them.
