Headset Advice

[Stew]

Hey guys,

Spent the last 30 minutes searching the forums and couldn't really find what I was looking for.

I am after a new headset/headphones, I'd prefer one with a mic attached.

The problem is I am a picky bugger,

I want a very good quality pair, I have a pair of Koss R/80's which are awesome for playing CSS (only thing I play) but I have broken the bracket which attaches the can to the band so it is currently covered in gaffer tape.

Adjustability is important, however I hate the ones which automatically adjust when you put them.

Finally I need ones which have an oval shapped padding to them rather than round, simply because I prefer to have my ear inside the headphone padding.

I'm not interested in 5.1 headphones, and I do need something with good build quality.

I have a limit of about £40.

Wow, not asking much are you? How do you liek sennheisers? They do a decent range of headphones with mics attached. Although youre really limiting yourself in terms of quality for that price.

[Stew]

No I'm not picky at all

I could possibly stretch to £60 or so.

used to own a pair of Sennheisers, really good quality pair of headphones, Im just skeptical as to how comfy they are to wear for a long time.

I know you said you were not inerested in 5.1, but these are within your price range and are oval ( well the look like they are from the picture )

heard good things about the Medusa headsets, esp the USB one since it makes life easier

My friend has the Medusa's and they are really uncomfortable.

I've tried other 5.1 headsets and none have been very good.

The only ones I think might be half decent are the Zalman's but I don't know of anyone who has tried them, theres a few reviews online but they all say different things. So actual in-game performance is hard to judge.

Oooo... might pick them up if there aren't any other suggestions, thanks

I've got the Sennheiser cans and they are superb - brilliant for night-long BF2 sessions. Excellent mic too. I've got the 155's.

The sennheiser 130's are fine and comfy.
