Headsets

[Lost 1,410]

Sooo...

 

I've been using a Razer Megaladon since it was released years ago, it is an awesome headset that works perfectly but it recently started to rattle when certain low pitches are played and it creaks/squeaks rather loudly when i move my head from side to side.

 

I figured it was about time i got a new headset so forked out £150 for the new Razer headset - Razer Tiamat 7.1, It boasts true 7.1 surround sound as apposed to most others that just have virtual 7.1 surround sound, the headset arrived and i eagerly plugged it in. The headset was constantly putting out a static/interference noise (similar to the one you get if you sit a phone on top of a speaker as you get a phone call or text message) the sound was also dreadful, it sounded unbelievably flat and tinny, as if there were no sub-woofer, i tried to fix the problem through equalizers and using bass boost but i had no luck in making it anywhere near acceptable. I've always loved Razer gear, all of my peripherals are Razer, but this headset was so bad that i have lost all confidence in them, i even contacted them to tell them this but i am yet to have any form of reply back from them.

 

 

So, i'm wondering what headset everyone uses and what they would recommend, and has anyone else used a Razer Tiamat 7.1?

 

I'm considering buying an Astro A50, but they are £250+ :/

Is it only youtube that does this? It might be a glitch in youtube. If it is, here's what you can do.

 

Go into control panel, find your MacroMedia Flash or Shockwave settings. And clear everything, and reset to default.

I previously used a pair of Turtle Beach Z6A's but they broke so I've ordered a pair of Astro A40's. A50's would be cool but to me wireless just isn't worth the Bits.

Just get the most mediocre stuff you can find. It's not like that Justin Bieber album can churns out Elvis Presley if you wears the most expensive headset anyway

I have the turtle beach X11 head set I use it for my PC and xbox 360 it is pretty good for about £40 and not going to change them anytime soon!

I got Logitech G35 surround sound headset. Very comfy and the sound quality is a lot better than the headset I used before. It also has ear-enclosing design and three customizable G-keys which is pretty awesome.

My favorite headset was the Logitech 3330, or something like that. The red one that goes behind your head. I'm currently using a G930 but after a while my mic boom is starting to bend and break and the software acts up a lot. So I'm not buying it again.

Reviving this thread!

 

Just to say that i bought and am now using my new Astro A50s, while having a 10 hour battery life is somewhat limiting for someone like me (i spend on average 13 hours a day on my computer, sometimes more, sometimes less), The sound quality and comfort is second to none. The sheer loudness of them astounded me, when on full volume, there is enough bass to rattle the headset off my head, testing this actually gave me a headache >.>

 

If you have the money to spend, get this headset, i must say however, that i had a small hiccup to start with, i had to run a firmware update to get the microphone working correctly.

I don't use those kinds of headsets

 

My headset is the Turtle Beach Earforce X12(Amplified) with Chat volume/Bass boost/Game Volume.

It costs $60 USD.

 

I have had it since June of this year, and the last one i had was the Turtle Beach Earforce Z1($20 USD)

 

The ones i have now are really Comfy and Has excellent Bass boost and the sound quality is insane.

I love my headset and i use it for hard core gaming such as COD MW3.

I had a look at those, but i could not bring myself to go back to no surround sound, putting the volume high enough on either the A50 or my previous headset (the Razer Megaladon) you can pinpoint the direction and near enough exact location of someone in any game, making them essential for a CoD killing spree, if like me you play very much by sound (as-well as precision reactions ofc!)

 

I figured that while the A50s are £250 ($300) i had the money to spend anyway

 

PC gaming is serious business

Well depending on what devices you use...

 

Basically, I have an Xbox 360 AND Two desktop PCs and a laptop. So my headset is compatible with each one (Except the laptop because it is buggy idk) Anyway, I use a Turtle Beach X12 Headset. Compatible with PC and Xbox. Its a really good headset that I would definitely reccomend because the Mic is really really good and it captures the sound very very clearly. Audio is badass too.

What I would recommend is the Astro A40's. It may be expensive but the reviews I've been looking at and how it looks like is a better headset. But I'm using the Turtle Beach PX22 and that is a good headset if you want it for 80 bucks.

I as a british student who spends most of his money on food and bus fare have a poundland signalex headset.

It sounds really bad.

I happen to own a Razer Tiamat. It takes a bit of getting used to but other than that it's great! The sound quality is good and it blocks out outside noises quite effectively. It's built-in microphone leaves something to be desired, but it's not too terrible either if you find yourself using it.
