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.

Logitech G930,Razer Kraken 7.1,Plantronics Gamecom 780,Sennheiser HD series,Beredynamics DT series,Turtle Beach Z22...There are a lot of good headsets,but these are some of my favourites.
All the best. 😉

the g930 looks good, i just dont really like wireless headsets, as I know myself I'm on my computer longer than 10 hours. Also the HD series don't have a mic.

I am using the Plantronics Gamecom 780 and they are absolutely amazing.They do have some cons,but they're outnumbered by it's pros.Really good headset overall and great sound quality.
Razer Kraken 7.1.Turtle Beach Z22 or Beredynamics DT are my recommendation,also including the Plantronics 780.
All the best. 😉

 

[Oakley999]

Whats good about the 780 that you have? and of course the cons, does it have a good mic? Cheers

 

[Oakley999]

Also the headset says its open ear, im not really to sure about that, as my computer gets quite loud with fans when im playing games like battlefield and strategy games that make my graphics card go nuts.

Just looked up the razer kraken 7.1, very reasonable price, and has good reviews.

I play a lot of CoD multiplayer and I use the Plantronics 780. A lot of people say how loud I am and that I'm louder than anything in the game,so I need to reduce the mic volume every time I play CoD. It's that good.
Pros: Good sound quality,excellent mic,circumaural,has surround sound,very comfortable.
Cons: I wish it had a better sound quality,but don't get me wrong,it's pretty good.It just wasn't as I expected it to be when I bought them.
Razer Kraken 7.1 are also great headsets. So are Turtle Beach Z22.All are great headsets and you defintiely won't regret buying them.
Get whichever one you like the most.
If you want the best of the best,Astro A50s are the way to go.But they are priced at $250.
All the best. 😉

Turtle Beach PX22 or Razer Kraken.My favourites,but all of them are pretty good.
Get whichever one you like the most,but like I said,Razer Kraken and TB PX22 are my favourites.

Are the razer kraken's closed ear?

 

[legend001523]

Yes

 

[Oakley999]

Alright, after reading a review on the razer kraken 7.1, it looks like im getting it. thanks for the help guys, solved within a day

 

[vycka123]

razer kraken ( non pro ) 5.1 surround? and px22 stereo sound? i'm guessing the surround sound give's u a biggger + at fps games no ? btw ss siberia v2 looks like an old product i dont think its worth looking at it tho can u guys tell me the difference between 40mm and 50mm drivers in headset's?

 

[Oakley999]

Just looked at a review for the krakens , i feel positive about getting them, however a mic test showed me that it kind of gives you a dull and robot sounding voice, whats up with that?

 

[LukaBoki]

Robots are great,why not have a voice like that?

 

[Oakley999]

You said that the razer kraken was your favorite, did you enjoy the mic? the 7.1 has a digital mic and is supposedly meant to be better

Yea,it had a decent sound quality.
But the mic on the Plantronics 780 was the best.It sounded soo good.

 

[Oakley999]

define decent, does it have decent sound ? any static? does it also have any echo/noise cancellation?
