Cheaper Headset (For Hazaro this time)


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.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826275001

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

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

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

Ordered a set of Sennheiser HD201's.

We shall see how it goes...

Need to find a USB mic now.

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

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!

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

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)
