Gaming headset recommendations

[[A9]Bard]

I´m thinking of buying a new headset. The old one I´snt working well with my IMac and PR.
Need 2 buy one with usb connection.

Anyone that can give me some help in finding one thats good enough.

I use Skull Candy, but sadly I'm no headphone expert so I suggest you try them out at a store on a console they have there. Really, people are so afraid to try before they buy, but with all my shit I annoy the people until they let me try it all out, last time I got them to set up my surround sound on one of their big TV's and let me play COD 4 for a while to test if it was good.

You can say I'm a cunt or whatever but they're paid to help, sometimes they look suprised when you ask but I've found if you just try things instead of worrying life is much better.

Test out possible brands at a local technology store, like a Swedish version of PC World, like 'VC Vurld' or something.

Since you are swedish, why don't you visit your local El Gigante? They have decent selection of stuff related to computers so you might be able to find a decent headset from there.

I use Steelsound's 5Hv2 and they are quite good for price / value, but they aren't usb headsets. The pricepoint would be good to know aswell

Well, I know where 2 go for headsets... the thing was (maby not clear enough) that I would like to know if there is any headsets that someone really could recommend for me. I have had so many that I not been satisfied with.

Elgiganten is not good btw.. mediamarkt is better.

The price is not a matter for the moment beeing... I value the quality first...

Creative Fatality headphones, £30, and sound pretty damn good to me, great bass on these bad boys, comfortable, great mic quality.

Not top of the range by any means, but I know quite a few people that use them, and for £30, they are a steal

Looking for TOP Quality Headsets? One word: Sennheisser



PC151's or PC161s.

15Hz to 23Khz range. Believe me, they sound fantastic. The Mic is also excellent. These will probabaly set you back $70 - $100. Worth every penny. Website is http://www.sennheiser.com/

Those Germans really know their audio. =)

That´s more in the direction I wanted to go.
I found a better one... Razer Barracuda HP-1 that seems nice.

If you can live with out the USB.

This this is what you must get.

Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Home Edition Headset - Ebuyer

Hook them up to a good sound card IE: "Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS" or and "x-Fi gamer" and above. And northing from the above posts will beat the sound you get from what I have listed.

I Have heard that the "Razer Barracuda" is good for a USB head set.
