Title: Gaming Headphones
Post by: TheCommandTent on May 24, 2013, 10:59:36 PM
After an unfortunate accident this evening my gaming headphones are no longer viable.  I am not real broken up over it as they were not that comfortable to begin with.  So I need some recommendations for new headphones. 

The only things I know I want in a pair would be a decent mic for voice chatting in game and a volume control/mic mute button or switch on the headset or cord.

I am really happy with my steelseries siberia v2 headphones - very comfy, great sound, and sensitive mike. Highly recommended!

Mine is some logtec set I bought at Target.  It has a usb connection and volume/mute control and cost like $40 or so.  I don' t remember.

Has a volume wheel on the left side, if you have a logitech keyboard can control volume keys on there as well.  Great surround sound, includes a mic that folds up when not in use. 
The G35 is the wired usb version, there is also a wireless model the G930.

I've also got a set of Steelseries.  I have the 7H USB headset (http://steelseries.com/us/products/audio/steelseries-7h-usb).  It's my 2nd pair of these headpohnes.  They're great!

I had a pair of those... pretty good value.

My daughter screwed up the USB connection when she ran outta the room forgetting she had them on
