antcole · 7 Apr 2009 at 23:33

Hey guys,

Im thinking of buying a new gaming headset.

I play FPS games like cod4 and especially CSS.
i want a good allround headset with good sound and a clear mic, but im unsure on which one to get.

i want to spend around sayy £40? not really sure.

hoping you lot can help me to choose one.

thanks,

ant

I have the fatal1ty headset myself but have a friend who has the medusa's they seemed ok to me though they are bulky compared with the creatives :confused:

My creative fatality headset has failed on me after a year, the left channel has stopped working. Don't let that put you off though, it was a great headset.

Currently using Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Very comfortable, great sound quality and look pretty cool to, also the mic is removable which is always a nice feature.

Highly recommend them.

If you want to go wireless, then I can reccommend this:

A bit pricey but I can't even think of going back to wired now.

a lot of members on here bash 5.1 headsets (just go to the sound section and see; all the sound purists on there hate them). they obviously havent played css competitively as they would then know the sound positioning of 5.1 headsets such as the medusa's are brilliant. i myself have had a pair and am now using the zalmen 5.1s

plantronics gamecom

best sub £100 headset atm

i have used a lot

and these are great

creative fatality headsets are poor poor quality in comparison

both in sound and build quality

hey m8,

these ones?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-003-PT&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=692

if so could you please comment on the 3d positioning on these? i know they are ''surround sound'' but really not sure what to go for myself, and have little knowledge of this ''dolby surround sound'' etc.

thanks!

sorry if this claims your thread antcole! hope any answer i get helps you also.

don't know about the sound but they look really comfy, the hidden mic is pretty good too.

I have the original Medusa's and love them! I would go for the updated Home version, not the USB version.

I use this

and I'd happily recommend it.

paying anything over £30 for a headset is major overkill..

dazza13 · 8 Apr 2009 at 12:51

I'm using these and they are excellent Sennheiser PC 151 Headset

Had the speedlink ones and didn't like them at all.
