Headset Recommendations?

I've always favoured "true" (as in, they have the correct number of speakers and don't just upmix stereo sound through software trickery) surround headsets and I've yet to encounter one that's better that the Speedlink Medusa NX USB 5.1. But then again I haven't been able to afford ones that are potentially better like the Roccat Kave 5.1 or the CoolerMaster Storm Sirius S. From now on I always plan to get another Medusa though, cuz there simply isn't anything that offers this much quality AND comfort anywhere near the same price range. Also out of all the headsets I've ever owned it's by far the most comfortable. Turtle Beach used to have one just like it, I mean the exact same thing, just different branding.

whatever you'd buy, just don't pick any SteelSeries
good sound quality and stuffs, but fragile as fuck

Go with the standard m50s. I use them and a modmic and am very happy with the quality both ways. The magnet thingy works really well.

CM Storm Sirus True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset. Awesome!

Beyerdynamic MMX 300

Logitech G130. They are really good to use, clear enough sound.

I have used both of them and they are fantastic.

Do not get the Razer Kraken. My brother had it for 2 weeks and the sound just stopped working. We checked everything, at first I thought maybe he messed it up somehow. But, nope. It just died. The Razer Tiamat on the other hand has been holding up very well for my brother. The headset I'm using right now is a generic pair. I'm actually thinking about replacing it with the Tiamat. I've tried it and it's very comfortable too.

Sennheiser PC 350 along with a good soundcard. Awesome headset.

this one?

Audio Technica ATH-M50. Stronger bass than AD700X, but are imperfect for games. Closed design.
ATH-AD700X. Weaker bass, better in games than M-50. Open design.
Sennheiser HD 558. Good all arounders. Can be "modded" to sound similar as 598s, but warranty is voided. Open design.
Sony MDR-V6. Quite good jack of all trades for the price, if you can find them since they're discontinued. Ear pads wont last long, but are replaceable. Closed design.
MDR-7506. Very similar to MDR-V6, but have less bass. Closed design.

And if you're looking for a mic, then Zalman Zm-Mic1 ($10) or Antlion's Modmic ($40)

All are around the budget you mentioned.

Sennhaiser PC 360 /350 or could be even better Sennhaiser HD + alone micro. QPAD-90 - very good headphones, but middle microphone(I want buy it, but for the same price I get Sennhaiser PC 360 without box, cheaper SteelSeries Syberia series have better micro). QPAD QH-90, even any Razer haven't compareable microphone to that Sennhaiser. Only 1 which has similar quality is Logitech G35. Sennhaiser PC 350 is closed design, 360 open. Open have worse bass, but better positioning in games.

AKG-GHS1 :)

Sony MDR-V55. Just bought them and they are amazing. Microphone separately. Not worth skimping on the headphones for the sake of a built-in microphone.
Other than that, stick with Sennheiser, not overpriced Razer and Qpad.

I got Tritton AX-180. They're ok.

Beyerdynamic DT990 Dont know if you have an amp or a soundcard with a built in amp that is strong enough but probably the best thing that you can get sub 150$

simply buy the best stereo headphones you can afford.

all that 5.1 and 7.1 stuff are shitty quality ad not worthy

I have a headset Steelseries 3H usb with soundboard included. Nice quality, but the 7.1 emulated is like this doesn't exist. Anyway, this is cheap.

tell us how you like them & keep us updated on a review for them. alot of people make these threads but dont always relay what they think of their final purchase & their after thoughts on the headset they bought. im curious what you think of them.

i love my V-Modas, but im contemplating on maybe purchasing either their fancier headphones or something else. i haven't made up my mind yet. i dont have a mic on mine & if their $30 mic attachment to their headsets arent great, then i might purchase a strictly gaming headset.
