    Question Which one? Logitech or Plantronics (Headset)

    Which one? Logitech or Plantronics (Headset)

    I thought it was time to get me a good Headset that I can use now that I’m LANing more often.
    But I can not make my mind up as they are the same price £19 and both look Great to me.


    They are...

    1)Logitech® Internet Chat Headset



    OR

    2)Plantronics Audio 70 Stereo


    Which one would you go for and why?
    And any bad points about them?

    Thanks 4 yor time...

    I had one of the Logitech ones with my UT2004 SE. It's a superb headset, but all the pretty colours came off easily (didn't have the replacement bits either). Kept working through untill it was set alight

    Nice so most have the Logitech one which sound quite good apart from not being very fire resistant???

    The Triton produces very good sound quality but the mic is appalling.

    The Logitech Precision Gaming Headset kicks ass though.

    ...I'm not even going to ask. I've never had any fire related problems with my headset. Come to think of it I've had no problems at all. However mine is a £12 Labtec one

    Zalman 5.1 headset + mic

    and

    Logitech USB 20 headset as well for the other system

    I prefer using the logitech as its lighter than the zalmans and is easier to plugin in as its USB so I can just insert it into the ports on the front, let the beep-boom happen and then load said game to have the sound running through the USB to the headset

    The speedlink 5.1USB version are nice and they have a mic to. If you do what I did on eBay you tend to find people selling them for £30 for them and they are sealed and never touched. Very nice headset, best 5.1 headset I have used. To me the Zalman ones tend to crackle a lot :/
