Need A Headset!

TommyVercetti · August 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">'Phones + Mic!</div> Since you all seem to be knowledgable on the subject, can anyone recommend a good headset that will give me high-quality surround sound and a good mic in one package? I play my games late in the night, so speakers are not an option and of course there is a good mic behind every good NS player. My ceiling is ~$150.

I have one. Forgot what it's called.

But it gets the job done from when I need vocals for Jeskola Buzz songs. All I have to do is put my recordings through some Noise Reduction and then Normalize! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />
But I dont remember what it's called. But I remember it was $30-40, and it gets the job done.

I don`t know how good quality they are, but just the sound of them sounds good to me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Agreed!

OrganoX · August 2004

When i bought the headset the price was $71.
And now, they cost $19.5.
With $71, it's still worth it.
I have the headset for like hmm, about 4-5 months now and they rock <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

SgtFury · August 2004

I have a set of plantronics too the slightly cheaper version I think, the mike is voice recognition and no volume control on the wire but the quality is still good.

Isamil · August 2004

Buy a Platronics Model 90 today!
$25 at your local Best Buy.

Thansal · August 2004

AFAIK there is no surround sound headset, or if there is it won't be in your price range.

Eclipser · August 2004

I have the Plantronics as well. Very nice.

Yeah, I don't understand why they wouldn't make a 5.1 surround sound headset with a mic. Its...stupid.

...I myself am just gonna get 5.1 headphones, then a "sit-on-your-desk" microphone. Both top quality though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

DragonMech · August 2004

For $50 I was able to get a pair of Altec Lansing AHS-502s from Best Buy with a 2-year warranty. Since then I've kicked them around, dropped them on my desk and stepped on the wires without a problem.

They sound great, are comfortable, allow me to pinpoint the location of an enemy buy ear and the mic is excellent. I suggest you snag a pair for yourself.
