Recommend Me a Headset Please?

[mystify_YOU]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could recommend me a headset. I would prefer 5.1, but would accept stereo. I will be using these mainly for gaming (however some music too), and will be connected to an X-Fi.

I don't really have a budget, but as its a headset, I would expect it to be under £90. I would buy separate headphones and mic, but I do want the mic next to my mouth, and with a clip on mic, I wouldn't be able to do this.

I recently purchased the Sennheiser PC161, but this headset leaked way too much sound, so much that people who were sat metres away from me were compaining. So I'm not sure of the technical term, but the headset must not leak sound - a bit is OK, but not a ridiculous amount so people can hear exactly what I am listening to.

I would appreciated any suggestions. I was interested in the Medusa 5.1 set, but heard these leak sound too. I was also interested in the Razer Barracuda HP-1, but I have heard people say the mic is of poor quality, and it doesn't really look long enough to me, which is a shame.

Any help apprecaited,

Simon

Hi,

Many thanks for your post, that was very helpful! I like the look of the DT 770 Pro, they look like what I would require - I'll have a shop around and see what price I could get them at.

I do have another question - What do you do regarding a mic? I'm assuming the mic has to be over the mouth, so how would you do that - clip one onto the headphone wire?

Thanks again,

Simon
