Steelseries 9H is one linus really liked and a lot of people do as well but it is a bit pricey.

 

I don't like the brand Steelseries, and the Steelseries 9H have wire, I want wireless. :P

I would personally recommend the Logitech G930's. They are very widely used and endorsed for having great build quality, sound quality and reliability. The majority of reviews are of high standard and there are plenty of replacements parts such as new batteries and ear pad cushions if you run into any issues.

Wireless headset can be tricky, I do believe Vengeance 2100 put their battery at one-side of the earcups makes them uneven in weight,

you should go to store and try them all

Logitech G930 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset

http://gaming.logitech.com/en-roeu/product/g930-7-1-wireless-gaming-headset

 

Which would you pick and why?

 

I have never tried the Sound Blaster TACTIC3D but it looks kinda cheap, must read some reviews to have an actual opinion.

 

I have read a lot about and/or tried the SteelSeries H, Logitech G930, Astro A50, PLYR1 and I own the V2100.

 

As I had this same concern you have now, which wireless headset to pick, this is what I did:

 

I know people that have the SteelSeries H, G930, Astro A50 and the V2100.

 

The H Wireless and A50 feel really sturdy and well built but did not justificate dropping $250~300 on a headset. If the V2100 didn't exist, maybe it would be worth it, I guess it depends on how much you want to spend, but I'd rather buy three V2100 than one of those.

 

The PLYR1 I tried at a store and it felt too small and made my ears hurt almost instantly.

 

The G930 has a good balance, removable battery and some other stuff but it really felt cheap and too much plastic.

 

When I discovered the V2100, I had to try it and found a dorm mate that had one. It felt so good, not as cheap as the G930 but not as sturdy as the SS H/A50, but for $90. So I bought it.

It's not perfect, has it's issues such as, sometimes, when you start the PC the headset won't sync automatically so you have to hold the button for a few seconds, maybe a few times, until it finally syncs. That happened a lot in the early weeks of usage but has stopped now, for some reason.

The pros are that the mic is great as people I play with tell me and it doesn't capture much ambient sound, I love the lift to mute feature, the scroll wheel is good places but I'm too used to the keyboard volume wheel, the range it works is pretty nice, I can talk on skype while cooking something on the kitchen and, finally, it's so comfortable with my average size head with big ears, you'll never run out of battery (which lasts for about 8hours after almost a year of daily use) while playing because it warns you the battery is almost over so you can play on wired mode.

 

For that price, I doubt the G930 is better than the V2100/H2100 or the A50 and SS H are better bang for the buck. I'm not saying buy this, forget that, just saying that, if I ever buy a wireless headset again, I would buy the V2100/H2100 again.

 I was thinking of the H Wiresless sorry, whats wrong with steelseries? They have great support and great products.

 

Thanks, I never had any product from Steelseries, and I think they are like Razer, all good looks but bad functionality.

 

I would personally recommend the Logitech G930's. They are very widely used and endorsed for having great build quality, sound quality and reliability. The majority of reviews are of high standard and there are plenty of replacements parts such as new batteries and ear pad cushions if you run into any issues.

 

Thanks, I'm very inclined to it.

Thanks, but I don't have any stores near me where they have the Headsets unboxed.

Thanks, but probably I will get the Logitech G930, because I'm on my 3rd mouse from Logitech and I like them. :P

There are many bad reviews on both the G930 and the V2100. I found more downsides for the Logitech headset than for Corsair's (thus why I bought the V2100), but I don't wanna make you buy something, you should try to look for that information by yourself. The deciding factors, for me, were that the headset overall felt cheap and just too much plastic, the earpads wear out quite fast(I know someone that has one) and it looks awful.

 

If I were you, I wouldn't buy something because you already have a good experience with the brand but in a quite different branch. The expertise to make good mice and headsets is quite different and thus you should be careful. Many brands make awesome products in some fields but awful ones at other fields...

 

Anyway, as long as you do your homework and know all pros and cons of each product you are deciding on, if you get disapointed with your purchase at least you know it wasn't your fault.

 

Good luck with your purchase.
