MadDog215 :
I play video games but I also talk to people and record on my PC.I want a headset that has 7.1 surround sound with a mic that has less to no noise when I record. Any recommendations? I know the Razer ones have mediocre 7.1 quality and bad mics.
thor220 has valid points, but I think there is value in some headsets out currently. I'd agree on the advice to avoid a "Razer 7.1" branded headset...as you'll be paying alot for a mediocre "gamer boy" pair of headphones.
I'm not up on the newest headsets, but purchased the Logitech G40s last year (http
/gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g430-7-1-surround-sound-gaming-headset) and have been pleased by them all around. Clear mic, distortion free sound (with obvious limitations of non amplified headsets at this price range).
The external mic+quality headset isnt a bad idea...just more wires/configurations than I'd personally prefer.
