[jcpjunior]

Hello Guys.

Well im here because i need a headset for gaming. My parents are travelling and they will stay in the paris airport waiting the other airplane.

In my country everything is really expensive.. so i will ask them to buy a headset for me there.

The h7 dont need to have a mic(i can buy a zalman mic and use it).

Can you guys help me? I have some options but fell free to add another one!

- Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear
- Sony Pulse 7.1 Elite Ediiton(I have a PS3)
- SteelSeries 9H
- SteelSeries v2-USB
- SteelSeries Siberia Elite

The problem is i need at least 2 or 3 options because there is a chance that they will not found the headset model in the airport stores.

I have €200 available,

Can you guys give me good options in the prices ranged below?

€100 or less
€100>€150
€150>€200

Thanks!

I currentyl have the Steel Series Siberia Elite, and i like them.
They are comfortable, and sound great.
I also own the Sony Pulse 7.1 Elite Edition headset.

I would say the sony have the better quality sound, but they cost more.
I like that they support both wireless with an included dongle, and the headphone jack also included.

Depends on what you use them for.
If you have a PS3 also, i would go with the Sony headset.

I don't know much about the others, but the two i mentioned would be the two i would choose from.
Maybe some others can shed some light on them?

Steelseries Siberia V2 is best but Steelseries Siberia Elite is awesome

Thanks TomTom111,

Your opinion is really helpful.

The sony pulse is comfortable too? All the reviews about the siberia elite says it is comfortable.

I really need a comfortable headset because sometimes i play for more than 4 hours.

They are both very comfortable.
The major difference between the two is the Sony headset is significantly heavier.
This is because it actually has vibrators in them to simulate a heavier bass, and the lithium ion battery pack in the headset as well.
With those two additions to the sony headset, you can imagine the weight gain.
But i still wore them for hours, and it was pretty easy to get past.

On comfort alone, i would go with the steel series.
On compatibility and features, the Sony headset.

The features of the sony pulse are for PS3 only or they work in PC too?

They'll work for pc too.
What the feature is, is a built in equalizer, and the bass of the audio makes the vibrators in the headset go off, to simulate a thumping bass! All of those features can be turned on and off, and work with PC, PS3, MP3 players, etc.
Works with anything that has a headphone jack, or supports USB audio for the wireless dongle.
