Post New Headset
Just got a $230 "thank you" american express gift card for my work on a client sooooooo....I need a new headset. I don;t want something with a mic so that should narrow it down. I'm still on the fence about getting speakers so for now I guess I'll go with a nice head set unless convinced otherwise, thanks!!

There's an ad for some plantronics headsets on the page right now. Ar har. I'd honestly suggest going with Plantronics, Sennheiser, Turtle Beach, or Bose.

Yeah, I'm on a fence of getting new headset but I lack fund for now. I know Turtle Beach makes good one for 360 but not too sure if it work for PC too.

Nah, it just have to be loaded on your page for the donation to go through, no need to click unless you're really interested.

Actually, Gman asked us NOT to click on the ads for the time being. Nice try though.

That's not what I said -- I said don't go crazy thinking you're going to make us a bunch of money.

I have used SteelSeries for a couple of years now. I love them. Wish I had five more sets just in case of emergency. But all of the other brands mentioned make some really nice headsets.

No mic, you say? Sennheiser HD555 + Removing the foam that's inside the cups = Sennheiser HD595.

BAM, just saved you $100.

Why would you want to take the foam out? That's just silly

If you get the same Platronics headset as mine, you too can sound like your playing in the shitter!

I have an ATH-AD700 and I really really like them. They're amazingly clear, comfortable, and have great sound staging.
