Hey guys,
Im thinking of getting a headset for Xfire and other IMs and listening to music (the family's geting pissed of with high bass songs and repeated granade explosions on maps like arroyo). Any way i was wondering what headsets you guys use, and any recomendations you have. My price range is really anything up to £100, although less money for good quality is good lol.

Thanks in advance,
J

Yer I noticed, thats why I asked the question.
Ive already got earphones for my mp3 player, and tbh i dont want to walk around with a headset with a mic in public, for obvious reasons lol.
I'm still confused why Quik saiid not to get a usb headset. I mean i am running out of USB ports but i can easily make room by leaving wires for my phone etc unplugged unless i need them, so i would only show a slight preference to a non-usb, i wouldnt pay more for a non usb. A good point for the headset you suggested ,Slick, is that its quite durable. On the other hand apparently its not compatible with quite a few games. Have you experience any of this Slick?

Thanks,
J

If you plan to use the motherboard audio, you should be fine. Quik

hmm, I'm using Realtek HD, so that might mean i should go for the mic and earphone sockets instead of USB.
I used some crappy old earphones today and I worked so much better then when i could hear the TV and the family in the background. Its convinced me to defintly get a headset, before it was just a probably.
ty Slick and Quick

I'm just old school and prefer jacks i guess hahaha. I have a USB headset but I don't use it because it won't work with my Creative sound card. Quik

Oh and does getting a soundcard improve the audio a huge amount?
Its just that my hearing isnt as good as it used to be since i took up shooting rifels and shotguns, really its only the right ear that ive noticed a change in though. And yes, I know i should wear ear defenders, its just theyre never around when i need them lol

And you can adjust your headphones to output louder in your bad ear so both ears appear equal.
