For £30 or so, which headset should I get? Must include microphone and have a cable at least 1.5M in length.
I am using the Plantronics GameCom 377 headphones, there not the best quality ever but they do the job.
The microphone aint to intrusive as it tucks away nicely into the headphones.
Anyone got a suggestion for a good racing wheel for under £50?
I own the the Gamecom 367, which is almost exactly the same as the 377. The only difference AFAIK is that the 367 is a closed ear design, meaning that it cuts out most of the outside noise.Quote:

The 367 are pretty comfy too and at the price of £17.99 you would be hard pressed to beat it.

Might need to add 2p to the order (get a cheap cable) to get free delivery (I think for free delivery it needs to be over £20 ex vat, please correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm making a big order tomorrow anyway so that's no issue. Thanks again. Not sure if I want to cut out ouside noise or not :/
yeah that issue stumped me, but they are pretty much the same and your basically saving a fiver. But if you have others people around you, they may find it annoying when they start calling out for you. :juggle:

Been advised this by a number of people for when I'm sorting my new rig out.
And how long are the cables guys?
cant say for the 377 but I imagine it would be the same, but I can confirm that the 363 is a smidge over 2MQuote:

fatal1ty one is 8 foot although i don't know if you are interested in it.
still though reread couple of reviews while i was checking it earlier and definitely going to be my choice when i get to it
I have the 377 and while they are a good headset with a good mic beware if you have a big head as they can be a bit tight and fatigueing on your head and ears after a while.
I got a set of Siberia V1's for £30 on eBay.
Very good for the price.
And I know a lot of people dont like this, but the microphone can be used on a completely separate cable.
I found this useful as I can use Skype with the mic plugged in but have the audio coming out my speakers and my headset to one side when not in use.
