    I use the Func HS 260. People often moan at me in Teamspeak about spill from the headphones to the mic :/

    Not really impressed by them. Quite uncomfortable really, and muddy sound.

    I use a pair of Ultrasone Pro 550's and a Zalman ZM Mic1.
    Had the earphones for almost four years. Only just had to replace the pads. Sound is great.
    The mic, well it's not bad or at least no one has complained.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    I don't use headsets mainly because my ears feel funny if they're enclosed, they get all sweaty, itchy, warm and give me a headache.

    the last set I had (so I could have sound when at the gameon lan) was a set someone was chucking into a skip, a cheap few £ jobbie from poundland or somesuch.

    I use NAD T761 and B&W 600 series speakers for my sound. its a big enough house so I don't bother anyone atall with them.


    as for communicating with people. well. lets just say I don't even like talking to people face to face for very long. I've got a mic and probably used it for a total of 10 minutes since I started PC gaming back in 1995. so yeah, that's that.

    Beyerdynamic dt770 pro. Awesome headphones. I use them all day at work too. I'm banned from shouting at people at night so I don't use a headset.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    I've still got my original Icemat Siberia from before they "merged" with Steelseries (i.e. were taken over). It's actually a headphone with a clip-on mic rather than a headset, but the sound quality was and still is absolutely great. The extension cord with the volume control, however, has been more or less busted for a couple of years now. Contacted Steelseries on how to order a replacement and they more or less told me to buy a new headset. Not sure they'll get any more of my money.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    Currently use some crappy Sennheiser PC31s but I've got Superlux HD681 Evos on order arriving soon. I look at the vengeance 1500, steelseries siberia and hyperx cloud but the superlux fit my budget well and apparently has very good sound. No microphone though but if I ever have a need for one I'll buy a separate one or a cheap zalman lapel mic.

    Can't speak for the sound quality yet ofcourse but from what I read theyre both quite comfortable as long as you get evo and very good sound quality.

    HyperX Clouds, not the newer version though. Really happy with these, good price, really comfortable, good audio quality, lots of accessories included. Only downside is the microphone.

    Koss Porta Pro. Not tight around the head and allow my ears to breathe. Comfortable to wear with my glasses and they offer excellent sound for their price and size.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    Corsair Vengeance HS2100, picked this headset up at a bargain price on Scan when they had a batch of Refurb models in stock, it's the older Black and Blue design, but still awesome, other than the colour, I'm not really sure how the Black and Yellow models differ.

    HyperX Cloud.

    They sound good, they're light and they're incredibly comfortable.

    SteelSeries Siberia V2. Not quite as comfortable as my V1s, but the built in microphone is handy and there is less sound leakage (but at the cost of less ventilation).

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    I'm currently using AKG K7XX (Massdrop edition) with an AntLion ModMic 4.0 and a FiiO ALPEN-E17 DAC. My GPUs have an incredibly annoying coil whine that seeps into the onboard audio, but I wasn't impressed with my USB headset, so I researched a bit and came up with my setup. Love the open design and sound quality of the AKGs and I'm glad I switched.

    Rosewill RHTS-8206 5.1 Gaming — nice headset with super bass-vibration, medium sound, bad software for Win 8.1. It's good for movies, but not for games

    I have a set of Sennheiser PC 360's, and they're fantastic. And I'll run 'em until they don't run anymore.
