cheers. ive heard nothing but good things about the sennheiser of any type.

but was a little unsure on the turtle beach gear. the HD280 is a bit more than i wanted to spend. and the p11 looks real nice :)

seems most people dont go the the surround headsets

Senheisers are awesome. They produce fantastic sound quality minus the large pricetag. As madaz said, they block out heaps of noise so you hear every enemy and each bullet shell as it hits the ground. Downside is they are pretty tight and after a while it feels as though your head will implode.

Senheisers HD550 for me. I've modified them to HD595 specs. It's a 10min job yet the price difference between 555 & 595 is like $60-$70

You need a amp'd sound card to drive them properly but by fuck they sound awesome.

I don't believe in the "5.1" headphones, load of shit i reckon.

The 595/555 certainly sound directional and with the Auzentech soundcard i have driving it all, very impressed. Great for watching movies & music which i listen to of a lot hence i grabbed these ones.

are you talking about the 280pro Elias as the 212pro are a lot better for everyday wearing

The 280s. If I knew they hurt the head after a while I would have gone another model bit after listening to the quality I decided to keep them. I love quality and am very picky when it comes to home entrainment/gaming.

used alot of plantronics over the years and they ALWAYS ended up breaking - even their 'decent' ones with external soundcards

i have 2 sets of razer megalodon at the moment - 1 spare for when the first set brakes - but for me compared to siberia's and plantronics the razer's are already well out infront.

this is for gaming only of course.

hahaha you went from plantronics to razer!?

at least plantronics specialise in headsets, razer gear full stop is generally crap and prone to breaking.

TBH the best headset I've owned was an Exsound Conch, but I can't find anyone who still sells them (only cost $20 too!)

so true man....a friend of mine has a razor keyboard too....looks cheap...aswell as having some issues. and overpriced.

i have heard of the plantronics breaking occasionally.....but for half the price of a turtle beach or Sein.....i can handle that for the few hrs of gameplay i do in a week

i've had the lyocsa keyboard for just on 3-3.5 years and cant fault it so far. apart from the rubber grips wearing on the WSAD. but then again. who needs to look at those letters anyway :thumbsup:

altho i would rather drink toilet water than go over to their headphones.

ugh I thought razer were the tits until I went through two lycosa keyboards, two copperhead mice and currently onto my 2nd deathadder mouse. Deathadder is the comfiest most responsive mouse i've ever used but apart from that will never buy razer again.

+1 to plantronics, had a pair of 777's that lasted me many hours of gaming through uni.

if you want cheap and effective though, go creative fatality - good sound and mic for around $40

I'm using a Logitech G35 and find it awesome for gaming.

and +1 on never buying a Razer again... sent back one mouse under warranty and the 2nd mouse becomes problematic(same problem as the first) shortly after the warranty period expires... it was a Razer Lachesis. Before that I used a Logitech mouse and never had a problem. Now I'm using a Microsoft Explorer 3.0
