Cheaper Headset (For Hazaro this time)

Hazaro · 09-19-07, 06:29 PM

Ok, so my cord on my headset got torn up and it's trashed. There' no model number on it, but it looks like this one.

I'm in the market for a rather cheap one <$25, and since I was impressed by the set above I think I'll be glad I chose anything from the following list. (Must have a mic)

$6 Genius HS-02B 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Headset

$7 Genius HS-02N 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Headset

$12 Logitech Internet Chat 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Headset

$15 Logitech Extreme 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural PC Gaming Headset

$23 SENNHEISER PC 140 Supra-aural Headset

You cannot go wrong with sennheiser imo

Thund3rball · 09-20-07, 03:12 PM

Agreed, based purely on brand alone +2 for Sennheiser

Hazaro · 09-20-07, 06:42 PM

I also have glasses, so I might be hesitant on those behind the head ones.

Thund3rball · 09-20-07, 07:14 PM

That's funny, doesn't look like you are wearing glasses in your picture?

They are white

Ordered a set of Sennheiser HD201's.

We shall see how it goes...

Need to find a USB mic now.

aja · 09-22-07, 03:20 PM

I have the HD202's - I am very happy with them!

I use them for music, gaming, and even plug them into my guitar amp so I don't wake everyone up!

They always sound brilliant - I just get tired somitemes, the sound is very rich and intense - maybe not so good for hours and hours of gaming

Hazaro · 09-22-07, 03:24 PM

I looked at those as well, they have better base, but the HD201 I think are more comfortable.

We'll see how it goes

Bought 2 of these, 1 is for a friend.

Why do you need a USB mic?

Oh, watch how loud you put the headphones - your ears will be ringing and sore if you are not careful. Enjoy them!

I bought the 10 dollar version, it works great.

aja · 09-22-07, 03:51 PM

How sensitive are these mic's? I need one, but it would be sitting far away from me...

Hazaro · 09-22-07, 05:38 PM

It depends, some people said that it could hear nicely from 10 feet, while one had to be right up next to the mic.

I personally think it would have a good range and if not could adjust the settings on computer to make it louder.

1-2 feet probably. I will get mine and see how it is.

(I went USB route because it will not work with my sound card otherwise)
