Muddys new gaming headphones.

[MudShark]

Any suggestions? My trusty old speedlinks broke at the weekend - a physical break in the plastic just above the ear so it flops half on and half off my ear, not very comfortable. My budget could stretch to £100 if it was worth it. I'm quite interested in these new USB soundcard built in type of phones as my sound card is nothing to write home about - just the one built in to my Mobo. A mic is essential natch.

Can you push it up 30 quid?

by the way if you use 3.5mm or usb won't really make much difference as soundcards aren't going to be amazing in a usb headphone either, only difference is adds "surround" but good stereo headphones can have exceptional sound stage anyway and you only have two "actual" speakers, not 7 and a subwoofer!

Alistair McLean wants you to see this item at Amazon.co.uk
Plantronics GameCom 788 USB PC/Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LNJZTTY/ ... hvb0S0P4PD

Half price last time i asked on here about headsets i was recomended plantronic i know gav swears by them never used them myself

[MegaYoda]

Glad you brought this subject up Mudster as my Headphones are on their last legs too!!

I have the Plantronics headphones which Gav recommended and I have to admit that they have served me very well for about 4/5 yrs. They are very comfortable and are decent for the price.
My wiring has become loose and so I have lost partial sound on the left headphone and mic not always working now

I was looking at replacing them with a wireless set such as the logitech G930 which you can pick up on amazon for around £80

[wesbot]

I don't have a good mic so for 22 quid even the Plantronics GameCom 388 look very tempting

[MudShark]

OK - I went with these in the end:

I went for gunmetal - the screaming red would not go with my hair.

I take it you did not buy it based on the sales video up on the amazon site.

Those are almost the same that I have, only rebranded! Works excellent!

Let me know how those work out for you Muddy - I'm looking for new ones soon

[MudShark]

Well I can say so far I'm impressed by the packaging! Very comfy on the ears and blocks out more extraneous noise than my old ones. Was a doddle to install - just plugged em in.

I'll see what you say after a Friday nights gaming (assuming CS behaves enough for a thorough testing)
