    All the gaming headsets I had broke after a year or two, so I spent the money on Audio Technica ATH-AD700 headphones that have lasted much longer.

    Me too. Better than any of the specialist gaming headphones I tried at the time.

    Kingston HyperX Cloud White. Can't be happier. For the price it really has no competition until you pay more than twice the money.

    Saitek GH20 - they're uncomfortable and sound like shiiite. Plantronics 788 on the way...

    Logitech G430's, they lack a little bass, but the simulated surround is quite good

    Roccat Kaves. The sound is good and they are really solidly built but the downside of that is the weight. Not the comfiest pair but you get used to them and they've lasted 3 years - the only problem I had was having to glue one of the headband pads back on. Had turtle beach ones for my old 360 and the build quality was awful - they fell to bits.
    Have a cheap pair of Tritton Kamas for the PS4 but wasn't impressed so got a pair of Sennheiser HD419s - they are much better.

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

    I'm a luddite because I don't normally use a gaming headset, much preferring to use speakers (and annoy the rest of the household) instead.

    When I do feel the need to use a headset, then I reach for my Triton AX180 headset. It's not big, nor particularly clever, but it wasn't that expensive and it works reasonably with both PC and XBox360. Funnily enough I've also got a Logitech H800 Bluetooth headset - which is pretty comfortable (and multipoint to boot) - but since I use a headset a lot for work, the last thing I want to do is come home and have to slap on another set of "cans".

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

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

    Razer Tiamat 7.1 and I definitely reccommend them even if they are quite pricey. Very comfy to use for long periods of time with great surround sound reproduction. The microphone could be better but it's really my only issue with the headset and it's a small quibble.

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

    Corsair 2000 and Logitech 930.
    I like the Corsair more in both sound and comfort (I ware glasses and yet to find a headset that is really comfortable...). But with Corsair's new color and logo I am not sure I will go for them again and probably try another next time.
    Also had the Steelseries Siberia V2 which I probably like best comfort wise with it being light and the stretchy headband.
