Everyone, official apolgies on the mixup of the name. Formerly sniprshark, now sniprwulf. Anyways, I've been getting on vent and have been told that my mic sounds like crap (no suprises) and was looking at the market of new headsets to buy. There's a broad range of stuff and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on their headsets of choice. Im in the price range of 20-50$. Thanks.

hey dude.. actually, i found a really nice headset for a cheap price and i bought it.. its flawless, it does everything you want it to.. its a Radioshack brand headset, and its about 15-25 bucks

Yeah Newegg is a great site. Huge selection at near unbeatable prices. Definately check them out first when looking for something electronic.

Just wondering... people who i have talked to on vent... how does my mic sound? im pretty sure it sounds good because i did the tests in CS:S and also on Audicity.. and it sounds pretty good... thats funny because thats the mic i got with my 8 year old computer... and it still sounds good...

i have something like the expensive one Billy showed, but i got mine for twice as cheap at the one and only eBay... i was hesitant to buy sh*t on eBay, but i was left with a smile on my face. The sound is great, the bass, and same goes for the mic.

I got my Plantronics DSP500 Pro USB Headset on Ebay for around $45 shipped and it's great!!

mic

[DarkShadow]

but those are dependant on a soundcard, and most folk have onboard... imo, go with Plantronics because they have their own soundcard that comes with them and its fairly decent.

[Novahawk]

Ah.. so it also has to do with the sound card... no wonder then.. guess my Audigy 2 zs helps...

altough i havent heard you in vent, if it sounds good in css, then it sounds really good in vent.

lol I use a headset (labtech), but only the mic from it, I have a pair of real headphones on top. it looks really stupid, but it works.

[Dwkillzone]

Yeah that is pretty much that same for me. I bought a like $20 set of headphones with a mic by logitech. havn't had a problem yet, but like frag i'm thinking about about the headphones apart and gluing the mic onto my $120 headphones that i purchased. Look around on different sites for what your looking for. I also prefer to look on newegg.com. Later
