I'm using a Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 Pro Gamer Edition.
Very pleased about it.

Same here, Mic is very good. They're really comfy too
Not sure how good the 5.1 is as I've never had 5.1 speakers.

 

[Tim Ling]

The Razer Piranha's are great, the sound is full, the mic is clear, and to top it off they glow

dont spend all yer money on a headset. spend sum of your money on a headset and some of it on a soundcard - that is if you dont have one already

 

[Johan Bergqvist]

For gaming get the eDimensional Audio FX Pro 5.1, I prefer them over my friends Senns PC 166 usb! :thumb: ( The senn PC 350 are better but are much more expensive, £80+)

Get allot for ya price, really amazing for gaming, the 5.1 / 7.1 virtual is very good and the subwoofer kicks ass, the mic is super clean and clear.

Pm me if ya want 10% discount also.

Sennheiser hd555+Zalman ZM-MIC1 should be great sounding and comfortable combination.

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a gaming headset with mic and was wondering if you had any suggestions. I would prefer USB.

I would say my max budget it about £40 to £50

 

[Mark Birney]

I am using the Creative Fatal1ty gaming headset. About €40 great microphone and sound quality, and a detatchable microphone too. It uses jack connection, but I find that a better option over USB.

I have a pair of Audio FX Pro 5.1 and for the money you can't beat them for a USB headset, they do sound great. Got a subwoofer in there and you can tweak it to your likeing, they are very powerfull but not to much that they hurt your ears, you can tweak them to how you like and the mic is crystal clear. They are comfy to and I prefer them over my Sennheiser PC 166's by quite allot.


For sims you can hear the engine nice and loud, but shooters is where the 5.1 ( 7.1 virtual ) really kicks in, you can hear guys walking from miles away, overall you can hear allot more sooner over a standard stereo headset and more so then the PC166's and there miles ahead of creatives set posted above ( my friend had those but he tried my Audio FX Pro's and he liked them allot more that he brought a pair )

Surprising they are good for music to with some EQ tweaking with the software that comes with them, lots of bass if you need it!

 

[Gaz]

They look good I like the 5.1 sound, maybe worth going to £57 for them.
Seems Amazon UK has them for £50

 

[Damian Henderson]

There well worth it, get allot for your money really. I can asure you will be very impressed with them if you get them!.

Been great for me for gaming when it's to late to have the speakers on.

I use the Steelseries 5Hv2 and I find them very comfortable to wear and sound very good.(subjective) They use a 3.5mm jack and have a good 2-3m of lead, which includes an in-line volume control. The headset has a mic that slides into the Left ear cup when not in use. The earcups are also detachable for packing away. Had them since January and are very pleased with them.

I have both a wireless usb headset from Logitech and a wired non-usb set from logitech.

The wireless is very handy without the wire constantly under my chair. But the sound quality from the non-usb is about 10x better. (i use the non-usb connected to Creative X-Fi)

Hi,

I ended up ordering: Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset.
After trying a friend of a friend set

 

[Oliver Amos]

That's a shame. With the Fatal1y brand you are paying for the name. A pair of Sennheniser's for example would of been better.

Anyway, have fun with your new headset

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Best place headset wise to ask.

I have a logitech headset with Mic. Is it possible to have the output/input of teamspeak only directed to the headset and the sound of game from the desktop speakers?

 

[Damian Henderson]

Yes it's possible, just depends if your sound card will do it or not.

Try playing around in TS in settings and options, have a look at device and see how many options you have.

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Damian thanks for your quick reply m8

I have the standard onboard 5.1 sound on me MB. Desktop speakers connected to the green port, Mic from Logitech to Mic input, but the logitech headset speaker cable is where i dont know where to input. Tried all.

Asus still dont support windows7.
