Hey

My good-2-years-old logitech gaming headset is no good for me anymore, its microphone gone rubbish.
Looking for a new gaming headset with a built in microphone. Mainly for FPS games, some mmorpgs, and VOIPs such as ventrilo, teamspeak, and such.
I don't have a budget limit although I just want something good and comfy to use that will do its job, doesn't have to be the most expensive set, not at all.

Thanks
 
Get a proper set of cans with a separate mic.

HD555s or DR150s with a USB mic or similar is far better than crappy headsets :) (Coming from someone who has DR150s and a seperate mic, I previously had 'said' Creative Fatal1ty things)
 
if youre listening to music and want to really hear the violins then Sennheiser. If youre playing games then the fatal1ty is cheap and good. +1
 
If you can use a seperate mic, its a much better solution. I have a fatal1ty headset, and also some better speakers and headphones and the quality difference is night and day. The fatal1ty is fine for voip, but I wouldn't recommend it for more than that.

A lot of gamers have said as such in the sound city forum as well so I don't think you've looked hard enough ;) as a lot of gamers have commented on moving from headsets to headphones, if you must have a headset, the Senn PC350, with the foam mod is probably your best choice, but IMO the money would be better spent on good headphones (Senn, Goldring, Grado et al) and a decent standalone mic.
 
A standalone mic, these are any good?
I remember having a crappy one ages ago it was a nightmare to use really.

I don't need it (The headset) for anything more than just gaming and talking on ventrilo/teamspeak etc... no music at all.
 
If money is no object, then maybe the Tritton AXpro, good headset, 5.1 surrond sound works on consoles as well, mic is detachable, but downside is expensive and loads of wires.
 
I have had a few headphones and for gaming Icemat Siberias were the business. Comfortable, not closed back (important if your using vent, as you need to be able to hear your voice) and a separate microphone. Not to mention cheap! Relatively.
