recommendations for a Headset/Headphones

I use these and I'm satisfied.

If you just want for music, Then Beats and SkulCandy would be awesome but not cheap. However, If you need a mic too, then get A4TECH as they are cheap or get Razor Gaming Headsets if you got some spare money to spent.

ANY HEADPHONE that work its good enough for me, people care that much about Brand? Go get yo'self anything that has sound, WAY MORE CHEAPER this way.

vote for Creative fatal1ty gaming headset ....its cheap and good :)I am using mine for 4years and its still like new :)

cannot recommend gamecom headsets, mine is only holding together because of duct tape, broke two times.
I didn't even throw it by accident or something because the cable is to short to get entangled in it :P

This topic has been made several times.
If you want quality go with a headphones with a separate mic. Headsets have terrible audio quality for the price .

How much can you spend on headphones and a mic? We can't just name random brands if we don't know the price range.

Anything from Sennheiser. It doesn't matter if you want gaming or audiophile headphones/headset they've you covered.
Personally I use Sennheiser PC 350 and I almost can't say anything bad about it. Headset is very comfortable and your head won't hurt you it wear it for a long time. The only minor flaw is that it's closed type so it gets kinda hot after a while and you need to take it off, but other than that, awesome headset.
I was lucky to get two pairs for only 60 euros.

You're much better going to a site like Head-fi, your best bet is a decent pair of Headphones and a clip on mic, I had a list but must have misplaced it...let me go look.

Edit: Can't find it, anyways here are some to check out:

Creative Aura Live

Sony MDR-V6

Ultrasone HFI-450

Audio Technica Ad700

Koss DJ100 (Might wanna replace the earpads if you get these with M50 pads)

Audio-Technica ATH-M50

Then grab a mic like this

I had this dilemma a little while ago. Made a thread here, got a lot of good ideas.

Though the one i eventually went for. I was able to test out my friends before hand, they are Superb

The Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset. They are pretty good.

This is great, but idk how much this cost in euro.

I have the steelseries siberia v2,and i really love them.I use them for music(nice deep bass) and for games and chat aswell.Nice all arounders for me.

I got these for 120$ with the mixing console, it would have been 90$ for just the headset. Anyway, true surround sound FTW! There's probably some other good 5.1 true surround out there now. When I purchased those, choices were very limited. Anyways, make sure you understand the difference between Virtual Surround and True Surround before choosing. Basically True 5.1 Surround has 4 speakers in each earcup and offer better sound direction and Virtual Surround only has 1 larger speaker in each earcup and offers better sound quality. Since I play games a lot, sound direction is important to me.

Logitech G930.

Razer Electra. No more problems with cables breaking, as you can easily change the cable. You even get an extra one when buying :) I am very very happy with mine. It costs around 50 euros in France and 50 dollars in 'murica

Roccat Kave. True 5.1 Extremely Comfortable.

Sennheiser hd 598, they are also beautiful.

steelseries siberia v2 or anything from Sennheiser.

Corsair Vengeance 2000

Don't know about Sound quality, they work for me, but Razer Orca/Carcharias are the most comfortable I have ever used. I Can barely feel them when wearing. They muffle some external noise, but don't make your ears feel as if they are in a Vacuum like my Sennheisers did.

If you care about sound quality, headsets are not your way.
Check some good headphones (+ some mic, for example Zalman Zm-Mic1), for example something from audio technica, beyerdynamic, krk and so on (check some reviews). In same price range quality headphones sounds incomparably better than any headset

You want some AWESOME quality? - Get some audiotechnica ATH-M50.

Speedlink Medusa Surround 5.1, has 8 driver units and real 5.1 sound, I use them, they're very good, I use them now. http://www.speedlink.com/?p=2&cat=283&pid=25160&paus=1&act_lang=en

I can recommend the Asus Vulcan (ANC / Pro). The review sums it up quite nicely I think.

They are really comfortable, and I don't feel them getting hot, even after hours... They have active noise cancelling, so if you live near some noisy road, like I do, they come in handy! Also the surround sound is very nice, although it is virtual. I do think of myself as having good hearing when it comes to music, so if you want one for music appreciation, you can find better. Don't get me wrong, the sound is really good, but they do miss some oompf when you're really concentrating and listening to music. But I never do that when I'm sitting at my computer: always doing something else too. You can't go wrong with these for general every day use. Excellent headset!

If you want headphones you can't go wrong with Sennheiser. If you want a headset for gaming/general use Logitech, wired or wireless.

I wonder if these would be any good?
