Lookin for a decent headset for (preferably) less than a 100 bucks. I really like the one Wondergod uses, and i MIGHT be able to get it for less than a 100 on ebay or something, though i doubt it (cant remember the name of it, anyways...help me out wonder)

All i ask is that its headsize is adjustable*, its attached mic is decent, and the sound quality is above average. If none of you have an extra one that you'd like to sell, i would appreciate suggestions on a purchase.

*bought a logitcech headset a while ago that wasnt adjustable...and my heads kinda big...so i couldnt use it, and i couldnt return it, so now im stuck with a headset that i cant use.

All you need to look at.

I've had mine for over 6 months now and love em. The mic is quality and so are the speakers and it comes with a built in sound card as well. Plug it in and hear those foot steps from across the map.

Seriously, fuck everyone else, the only thing you need is exactly what Ezekiel said, they will last you 7 months minimum, and wtfRAPE anything, on the cord is a built in DSP unit which is exactly the same as most highend souncards (ie, Audigy), for 40ish, you can't go wrong.

thats what i have. they're cheaper here when they get them back in stock.

[EVIL Shenanigans]

Thanks all. Got the last one off amazon.com for $56 after shipping.

[EVIL Shenanigans]

update: I got refunded b/c they were aparently out of stock...???

Checked EVERYWHERE else on the internetz to see if there in stock...no luck...guess i'll just wait till plantronics 'plan's ahead and actually manufactures enough for the demand...whenever thats goin to be...

[dar_tana]

You check the new and used section on amazon or ebay? There's got to be one somewhere.

[EVIL Shenanigans]

As far as amazon, yeah...and no luck. Like i said earlier, i bought the LAST one from amazon...but i guess the sellers for some reason had a listing for it up even though they were out of stock...???

And then ebay is kind-of a last last resort sorta thing. If none appear on business' websites by the end of the month, i'll probably go with ebay...

[Jack]

Circuit City has it for in store pick up only.
This site says they have them in stock.

[EVIL Shenanigans]

Thanks jack...but:

-already checked circuit city, noted that it wasnt available through the website, checked my local area and out of a 100 mile radius, no circuit city has it in stock.

-the other website is gonna charge me 68 bucks with the slowest shipping method...if i had to go to ebay to save myself 20 bucks, i will...

Not meaning to shoot down your ideas, and thanks for lookin, but yeah...still lookin...

[Jack]

not a problem. I think they "may" be discontinued because I can't even find them on the plantronics site. if you have a decent sound card you will have a lot more options then just that headset. I mean, just because all the cool kids have it doesn't mean you have to have the same one.

do it

[-=Penguin=-]

^^^^^

overrated.

[EVIL Shenanigans]

do it

That I think is the one that i tried to mention in my first post...note the price; $130?

I dunno if some of you youngsters really have nothing better to spend your money on besides drugs and overpriced technology, but there are so many more important things you can spend cash on in the 'real world' (i.e. after you moove away from your parents allowances) that kinda make you realize unjustifiable expenses...for example, the current comparison: Should i spend 2x more for a product just because it has blue lights 'enhancing' it?

And sure, there are some minor improvements that the plantronics headphones dont have...but i'd rather not have a overwhelming experience when playing games if the cost is having an overwhelming experience on the sh*tter each day b/c i can only afford to eat ramen noodles.

Find/sell me a barracuda for around $80 (<- about what I think its really worth) and i'll bake you a cake...'enhanced' with neon-blue icing, even.

edit: killswitch...I'll admit, if i just got back from a tour in iraq and had some of that soldier cash in my hand, i'd probably buy 'em...

[wondergod]

these are the ones I have...http://www.medusa-us...n-v2-p-896.html


I have no complaints about them and they are amazingly great when teamed up with a good 5.1 sound card, audigy or better

Only thing is they are 120, plus shipping...and if you include the sound card it gets pretty pricey for the sound setup in games...

[Jack]

mmmk, you fail at buying headsets.
