Recommendations. Headset For Gaming

Something for around £50~ that fits over ear. Surround sound and a long lead would be nice.

Thanks.

Do you have 5.1? do you need 5.1? USB or analogue?, is your budget fixed?

g930 is very nice but around 80ish

[jigger]

Yes
Not really but would be nice
I would prefer analogue but its not essential
No

Cheers.

these are the ones I have and together with a asus sound card they are both comfortable and sound good, I will say I had medusa's before these and the sound was better but after an hour or two they caused me pain in my ear (rubbing my ear) if you do decide to go analogue 5.1 then a sound card imo should be a must.

This thread from last week may give you some ideas: http://forums.hexus.net/general-cons...-headsets.html

I had a pair of Creative Fatal1ty which are around the £30 and they do the job. I just found that they got uncomfortable in long gaming sessions. In the end I went all out and got a pair of Astro A40's which I love but they are 4x your budget.

I used to own some creative headsets, but they did not cope will with lots of plugging and unplugging and as Dooms said, were not very comfortable on long sessions. I woudn't waste any more money on them.

For that price, these are good:
- Sennheiser PC310
- Sennheiser PC151
- "Creative Fatal1ty" (good reviews)

[Porkyville]

the original creative was excellent until it broke the new one not so good and I have had both. I will repeat again if gaming is a big thing for you then good 5.1 analogue is a must have.

Depends on your budget, I used to have these which were so nice: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/razer...et-for-xbox-pc

I picked up a brand new pair of Sennheiser PC323D from ebay for £45. Virtual 7.1 surround absolutely fantastic, real comfortable, wear them for hours with no ear sweat.

SteelSeries Siberia V2, they are a bit over your price range but I'd recommend anyone to buy a pair

I've had a pair now for just under 2 years or so.

They have a really good sound quality, the mic is very clear and they are comfortable.

Second the Steelseries Siberia v2s. Great headset, very comfortable. You can get them for £49 in asda.

Didn't know you could get them so cheap?! Might buy a second pair

Yeah, great price for a great headset. Forgot that amazon, does the white pair with the 5.1 sound card for £50 on occasions as well.
