Post Gaming Headsets
why is it so hard to find good headsets?! between my brother and i we have already owned around 5 headsets. can anyone recommend something that wont break in 2 months?
sound quality doesnt need to be that good, just want something sturdy.

I recommend what dazed said.
I currently use these http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Siber ... B002Q8IHDQ

People say they are flimsy, but they are amazingly comfortable and i haven't broke them yet.
But i am very careful with them i must say.

I toss my siberia around all the time like its a cheap $2 piece of shit, hasn't broken yet, the mic can be detached from its holder and go back in, as I found out while stepping on it a dozen times lol... Ive got some wire fray somehow but that's the only thing wrong with them so far and Ive had them like 8 months or so.

Same here. I love them. Only had them for about 4 months, but they work great. Not sure about how durable they are. I'm really careful with headphones.

I've got the Creative Fatality headset. I throw those mother F*CKERS around everywhere. On the desk, on the floor, pull them up by the cord, etc. They still work like the first day I got them. Two years ago now, I think. :)

I use these plantronics...
http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-995-W ... ss+headset

The range on the wireless is ridiculous. Our house is huge (2 kitches, 3 living rooms, etc etc) and I can walk around the entire house, including outside, and almost never go out of range. Had them for about a year and have never had any problems.

OR, you could get a very nice pair of headphones and a cheap mic from walmart. There you go, you just got yourself a much better alternate to a headset.

Not sure if you already bought a headset or not. But I found some, not sure if they are great deals or not.

http://bensoutlet.com/products/steelseries-5xb

These two are intended for Xbox 360 and PS3, but I'm not sure if you can also use them for PC.

I have had these for 2 years now no problems. Also no matter what you decide to get, try to get them from a local store and get warranty. I havent paid for a mouse for about 6 years now because i originally bought one from best buy with warranty and keep taking it back and exchanging it for a new one with a new warranty.

Ron Burgandy recommended these to me he has used them for a while now as well. i love them they are nice with detachable mic so you can use them as normal headphones aswell.the sound quality on them is amazing. Most durable things ive ever seen and on top of that they are velvety making them so comfy
