Title: Recommend a headphone and mic set
Post by: ButcherOfNog on December 07, 2011, 03:59:29 PM: Evening Gents, can you recommend a headphone and mic set? I've a nice office set-up with my 5.1 speakers sitting exactly where they should be, all dotted around me, and have resisted going the headphones and voice comms route because of this. I like explosions to shake the room :)

However, its limiting with the squad play in BF3, so I really need to get a mic and headphone set sorted, something that is sturdy, has good bass levels and excellent sound quality.

Just because you use a headset, it doesn't mean you shouldn't sue your surround sound :D

on topic, I've had 5.1 headsets before, (Speedlink Medusa's) and thougth they were good, if a bit uncomfortable due ot the weight, but they just don't match the quality of sound you get with a good set of stereo phones, not sure about ht elatest crop of 5.1 headsets as I haven't tried any... still happy with my 2.1... if I ever get my Corsair HS1's back from Germany...

Had some sennheisers and plantronics before that.
I hear Corsair have some great headsets now.

lol, technology is great, the G45's will have automatically timed burstable and directional moisture packs to go off and solve that particular issue for you Kel!
