Spec me a Gaming Headset

Turtles · 14 May 2008 at 22:13

Looking for a Gaming Headset to be used for PC Gaming (TF2, CSS, etc). Used for around 3+ hours a-day so comfort is a must. A high-quality mic is also definately needed. I've currently got the Plantronics Audio 350 Headset, but wanted to see whats out there for me and decide if I want to upgrade.

Now I think about it this should probably be in the audio section

Any help much apprecited

HD555 + Desktop Mic

So if I went for that, what desktop mic would you suggest?

Anyone else know of a good desktop mic. I'll try the Elara clip on one, it's just for £3 it seems too good to be true

Cool

Anyone used it with vent, is it clear with that?

Hmmm, I've having second thoughts about the HD555s. The open headphone feature doesn't seem that great. A few reviews have complained about the sound leaking out from them, they don't have a volume control on the cable. The last thing I need is my clan mates swearing booming round the house

I guess I'm looking for closed headphones or open headphones with a volume control, that must be very comfortable. I would get the Fatal1ty headset but I've read things about them being uncomfortable and the mic on them breaking which has put me off a bit.
