Looking for suggestions about a good headset for about $75. Tired of my current one freaking out and going all robotic-chipmunk on me after a couple hours of use.
Robotic Chipmunk is bad? Your no fun. your in luck. Newegg shell shocker for today: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826626004 I dont see any mic or anything like that, but it does mention in this: So I am guessing it has one? EDIT: here is a CNet review on them: http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/v-moda-crossfade-lp/4505-13831_7-34117952.html
Those are some pretty sick headphones and right in my price range with that deal. However, I need to get some 5.1 headphones for when I play FPS.
Even the best 5.1 headphones I have heard barely qualify as decent sounding, and those cost $250. If you plan to get something in the $75 range it is going to sound like a POS. Looks like this might work ok, but one reviewer said something about audio not transitioning properly between channels, and all reviews said it is a lot of work to set up. My guess would be the one who said audio doesnt transition right did not set them up properly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826356007 Most of the "5.1 headphones" you buy now days are just stereo headphones anyway. So you should look and see if your sound card supports DTS Headphone or Dolby Headphone. If it does, you can get the exact same "5.1 headphones" as you would buy like the Logitech G35 just with any standard stereo headset. All it is is the fake processing from the Dolby stuff anyway.
UPDATE: I went ahead and got the headphones that Enigma suggested. The deal on them was really good. Thanks bro!
Dang, can't believe I missed out on that. V-moda has some reputable headphones so they are prolly gonna be sick nasty!
Sigh... can't believe I missed this..I've been looking for some good headphones now for under $200... I bought a pair for my bf at Best Buy like a year ago that were $195 that aren't bad but... eh, I dunno, I feel as if they could be "OMFGWTFAWESOME" compared to: "Eh..I guess I'll take it" ...also, any ideas on what I could get in the range of earbuds? Cause I'm not gonna be wearing big old honking masses out in public..
I got some Sennheisers for like $20 at Newegg. They came with different adjustable earpieces, a clip, and all that.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Order=BESTMATCH&Description=sennheiser+earbud Sound quality has been great, really can't go wrong w/ Sennheiser.
