Headphones.

[aidanjt]

My Medusa amp had a progressive noise fault that only became noticeable after a year and a half, I emailed speedlink about it twice and they replied about the issue, that's the only gripe I have about the company. The new 'Home' amp looks a bit more sturdier, and they use the same good ole headphones. Even though their support sucks, they do make awesome headphones.

ive used the medusa ones for a while, with the amp. all seems fine, although ive given up playing with a headset (not pro enough anymore ), just use my speakers and a boom mic for when i want to talk to my friends on vent

Neat, comfy, boom mic, long cable

If you've got a GOOD surround sound soundcard, then get Medusa's.

i've had mine over two years. awesome, uber comfy for literally 3 days solid gaming.

and the amp box has a passthrough set of cables too, so you can have the sound to speakers too,....like I do

I just ordered a set of Sennheiser PC150s for my brother from empiredirect, and after the £10 google checkout discount and £1.50 p&p, it came to £35.50 which I thought was rather good.

Then I saw the PC151s on Scan's site for £32.90 and felt a little sheepish.

I had a pair of USB Plantronics GameCom 1's. Nice, but the wiring went after 2 years.

I won a Pair of Sennheiser PC-161s and they have pretty good sound quality but they are not the most comfortable.

That award goes to my SteelSeries SteelSound 5Hv2's.
They have amazing sound quality, completely envelop your ears (keeping them nice and warm) for excellent sound. They have great bass and high treble. They also come with a 2 meter break away cable system so you don't have to fumble around behind your PC.

I honestly can't recommend them enough.

If only they were £35. Still worth considering though, I may stretch to £45.

laze.

Hey,

I stretched my budget and ordered a pair of SteelSeries SteelSound 5Hv2s.

They're due to arrive Monday.

laze.

I've been using my Trust 5.1 surround Headphones for my movies and some games. It's top stuff for both as it has subwoofers inside that can match those from 5.1 speaker sets.

The 5.1 channels are good on most sources although sometimes it's not as clear and will obviously not match a decent set of 5.1 speakers. Still, for private gaming/movies (for me anyhow) you can't beat 5.1 headsets.

Mine has no mic though- although I'm on the lookout for a standard pair of headphones for Skype use.

My Trust are THESE, although it seems the reviewer had the opposite experience to me.
