    Stay away from Medusas...

    I have seen debates on multiple forums about the quality of the Medusas... They are poorly made, cheap, and ****e! Stay away... Who has used the Zalman equivelant?

    I have.
    The sound quality is excellent and they are comfortable to wear. The effectiveness of the surround sound is debatable though. I can't tell the difference between the front and the rear.
    Can't say how they compare to the Medusas though. I haven't tried them.

    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

    its a cautious tale this one...if you get goon Medusa's you get good headphones. Period.

    If you get bad ones, thatdont work, you've gotta start over and send 'em back and pay for the postage. Sometimes TWICE

    However, I love mine. A lot.

    I have read so much turd about them, that I am not even going to ask for a exchange... Surely if they are faulty the company pays back postage?

    + Those who have Medusas - do you get a clicky interferance when the PC does... anything... or when the phone (mobile) goes?

    the phone intereference is a given... all speakers do it, and there's loads of em in Medusa's. Mine a re loverly. Really.. best thing I've had in ages tbh. dunno about the PC - depends where you got speakers, how it's wired up internally etc etc.

    /\ Tumbles are identical to mine. In game they are totally terrifying when loud the bass is awesome AND the direction is superb.

    Good in music too if you set your sound card right.

    As Tumble says, Mobile phones are bound to set them off....there are SO MANY speakers in them.

    If you buy something from a shop, you have to take it back. They dont come to you. If you buy something online or mail order, you have to pay return postage.

    Sorry....its how life is.
