HELP! Wireless vs Wired Headset... ?

[Purks]

Hi guys, 

 

Recently I have been considering updating my current headset as the microphone is terrible! 

 

Whilst I do realize that audiophile headphones and a separate mic are the best for quality, I want an all in one package and don't mind paying a premium for it. 

 

My next and main dilemma, is wireless or wired? Currently I am looking at buying either the Steelseries H Wireless or the Astro a40 2013 (for wired alternative). I am unsure whether to go wireless mainly due to possible interference and/or lag issues (i know what Linus said about them) and possible sync issues etc, and any other wireless issues that I don't know of. Is this really the case with the wireless headsets these days? Or should I avoid it at all costs and just go with the wired stuff?

 

Secondly does anyone have any experience with the H wireless? 

 

Lastly does anyone have experience with the A40's? I've heard that they have a tendency to fall apart? Is this true?

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Ben. 

 

P.s. I do realize that there is a price difference, but ignore that as it does not bother me. I am bothered about the quality and pitfalls of the wireless option, if they exist.

I would think that Wired would give you the best sound quality, but have you heard of a Mod Mic? It just sticks onto your earphones and acts like a boom mic and turns your headphones into a headset.

audio technika are bringing out headsets which seem really promising. Great sound quality and audio technika are well known for their microphones too.

I've seen some of their all in ones, and the price is very very high, too much for me.

Oh I haven't seen any prices yet .

Get MMX 300's or PC 360's any other headset is complete shit.

They're just pricey markups of lower end headphones with mics from what I've seen. same as the PC360/any senn headset

Nice man, always go with a reputable audio company for your audio products, not a gaming peripheral company.
