Looking for good headset and mic

[Oakley999]

I had some siberia v2's, but I had to take them back because they were broken, i've gotten a refund, because the customer service were pretty slow, what upgrade can I get from this? I'd just like some preferably surround headset, because I play a lot of FPS', and also a microphone that is noise cancelling and doesn't create static.

Im getting £400 out the bank soon, and I could probably pay a bit more for another headset. Im using a pc 310 sennheiser headset, i've had it since i got my pc and its been loyal since. Do you have any experience with sennheiser? I've got 3 im looking at right now. The game zero, the game one, or the pc 350 SE, the 350 looks quite nice, with 4.5/5 stars on amazon and some good reviews about them.

What's wrong with the PC 310?
Anyway,I haven't used any of their headsets,but I know they're all great.

 

[Oakley999]

There's nothing wrong really about the 310, i'd just like an upgrade to maybe the sound and definitely the mic, the mic isn't too good, but not awful, and the sound is good, but it won't hurt getting an upgrade, right?

I think you won't.Maybe you will,I don't know.That depends.If the headsets are mad at you and they want to eat you,that might be the only "hurtful part" while using them.
I would get the G430,I read some reviews and people are really happy with them.Just make sure that you don't make them mad.

I dont know, i want to try the 350 se because i dont trust low price headsets because the ones that have been giving me problems have been under £100, i'll try the 350 se, if it is somehow bad, i'll then try the g430.

 

[LukaBoki]

Get the G430,you will be happy with them.
Actually,my friend is using one,he is very happy with the mic and especially the sound quality.
I wanted to buy those for my BD,but it turned out that I'm gonna get it next year for my BD.

 

[Oakley999]

I'll try them out for you if you would like, i think I will take them instead because usb sounds a lot less hassle, because the 350 needs a good soundcard to work the best, and currently i dont have one, based on your positivity on the headset, I'll start looking towards the g430. I'll read a few more reviews about them, also I saw a video on youtube where theres a problem with the g430 mic for a lot of people, the video of course showing a fix. uh oh.

If you want something that's great for the price and not over rated you could look into a pair of Samson SR 850s + a mic.

What mic would you suggest? A clip on? Maybe a desktop mic?

This clipon is decent for the price:

Would you recommend a desktop mic? I like having best mic quality possible

Yes, or if you want a good quality mic that can attach on to your mic you can look into a modmic.

 

[Oakley999]

The modmic is a good £50 or so, how good would they fare against a blue snowball?

From what I've read the snowball should be better sound quality wise, but it will pick up more ambient noise since the mic isn't right next to your mouth. If you can I would go for a mod mic, but if that doesn't fit your budget go with the Zalman I posted and do this mod to help reduce ambient noise:

Thanks for the help on the mic, regarding about the samsons, i've found this headset: http/www.amazon.co.uk/Superlux-HD668B-Headphones/dp/B003JOETX8/ref=pd_cp_computers_0#productDetails

It looks quite good, it has high ratings and they both seems very similar, do you have any clue about this? or do you think i should stay with the samson's you suggested earlier? thanks.

It's the exact same headphone, it just has a different design and name. They use the same drivers.

Alright, thank you
