New Headset Reccomendations

Fuzz's picture

Morning all,

Our new Honorary Member Eldemeer needs a new mic for gaming.

Shad and I have the G930. Tis nice, about $130. Not the BEST at anything but very convenient with the wireless.

Anyone got any reccomendations? Slacker yours sounds pretty good.

Fuzz.

this is what im using now

this is what im using now paid like 200 bucks for it. it was a little tight but feels fine after a few days i do really like that i dont have to use the usb sound card with this one(although its prob a crapton better then internal sound)

the one before the 200buck one was a plantronics gamecom 780 which was about 75 bucks and was only replaced because the cord rubbed on my desk.i was really happy with it and tbh i cant tell the difference with sound quality with this one and the 200 buck one

Logitech’s ok too although the usb plug on my last Logitech headset only lasted about 6 months

i also got a wireless turtlebeach which i brought for the ps3 and i dont like it. it just doesnt sound right to me and feels cheaply made. dont know why that brand gets alot of hype its way overpriced for what you get

Yeah g930

It’s the g12 without the wires…
I don’t think I could go back to a wired headset… Even now with true amount of times I walk around or stand up and the cord yanks out… Can’t be good if the cable is not designed to detach!

Pro tip with the g930 – don’t install the drivers! A you don’t need the low battery warning, or the voice changer. But the 7.1 fake surround sound screws up with mumble!
Don’t be sucked in by the 7.1 surround sound shit. You have a headset on. It’s got 2 speakers inside earmuffs! Any surround is software driven

Pros. Wireless, It’s got good range and programmable keys. Usable in wired and wireless mode (important cause some can’t) I’ve found mine to be quite robust! (Dunno how fuzz broke his). Comfortable dispite the size. The USB is a sound card so you technically don’t need inboard or a seperate card
Cons. The drivers, cost (at the time I purchased, dunno what it costs now), they are big but comfortable. Noise canceling dealies make my hears hot. Not fully noise canceling but enough to get me in a lot of shit cause I’m yelling or can’t her the wife ask me stupid questions from 3 rooms away! You need to charge it cause it’s wireless or you can use it wired

Look up logitechshop they had some good deals a while back

Afterglow Wireless Headset

This is great allr0under a bit bling but hey why n0t…
Next d00r neighb0r uses these and after a year still stands by them….

Eventually I’ll be buying myself a set but I d0 like these th0
Creative Sound Blaster Evo ZXR Wireless ANC

But I still use a desk mic and c0rded headph0nes due to the quality 0f the signal especially l0w base freqencies as all c0rdless just can’t g0 l0w en0ugh.

Amazing h0w l0w frequencys bec0me the n0rm I have been using/listening t0 subw0ffers in the car and at h0me all my life and t0 watch a film with0ut 0ne just s0unds wr0ng….

I w0uld rec0mmend 0ver the ear 50mm drivers f0r the l0w end…..

Bit of gold

Logitech should put your quote on their product page.

Logitech G930: “get me in a lot of shit cause I’m yelling or can’t her the wife ask me stupid questions from 3 rooms away!”
