Spec me a cheap headset

I had these a while back, they were pretty good till I tried my mates HD 555's :O

You are going to get better quality using standalone headphone, and microphone.

Couldn't think of having a mic hanging near my mouth anymore, so annoying ;)
 
They're headache inducingly bad compared to most better phones and headsets. Unbearably muddy and overdone in the bass. Sure they're cheap, but they show it :(
I actually meant that about headache. I used to use them for the mic, and take em off as quickly as possible.

If you're willing to go that far buy the Carcharias, or look at headphone, Goldring particularly are affordable while offering decent sound quality.

I'm tempted by the Plantronics GameCom 367's as they're nice and cheap, design looks nice as well as solid and the foldaway mic should be good too for LANs etc. Might grab a pair and then also get some Sennheisers for use at home & when not needing a mic. Would rather like a pair of HD 280s if I can get some, used a mates pair and they blew me away.
 
Recently received the Creative Fatal1ty and for a budget headset its spot on, much better than my old clear chat pro so i'd go with that if thats your budget. Although as i've said it depends how much you're willing to spend- the more the better in most cases.
 
Yeah the bass is clear, and goes very deep, down to about 25Hz IIRC from testing, HOWEVER, the bass isn't the most punchy, and the overall sound can be a little fatiguing over long periods. They're more intended for recording/monitor usage than musical enjoyment IMO :)

Not knocking them, they're good phones, BUT perhaps not the best for general listening.


Edit: Do not buy Creative Fatal1ty. They are absolutely horrid, and actually gave me a headache. The bass is over done, the sound muddy. Only buy them if you cant get anything better!
