Gaming Headset

spanky · 08-26-2007, 09:15 PM

I don't own a pair and I'm not sure really what's good.

I was looking at Icemat Siberias but it seems they break a lot?
The Razer Barracuda seemd like a good pair, but the reviews are really mixed.

So I'm looking for some suggestions? I want circumaural type. Thanks.

Edit: And if I wasn't that clear, by headset I mean I want the microphone included. Unless you guys suggest a pair of headphones and buy a mic seperately? I don't really see a reason to do that though.

The razor barracuda are awesome and even more at the price amazon has them

Any comment about mic quality being bad or about the complaints of speakers quality?

What is the best in your opinion?

Well i can't remember the brand of the ones i would love/must have they are around 200$ is a german brand, anyway the icemat or the razor should do fine for what you want ( the razor seems to break more easily than the icemat or at least for the reviews)

Well now I have to find this german brand headset you speak of

I don't like buying knowing I could possibly get something better.

Edit: perhaps you are speaking of sennheiser brand? I've been looking around again and this Tritton headset seems to be the only Dolby/DTS certified headset. I think I am liking these best.
