hello everyone,

 

i am currently looking for a new pc headset since the one i am using now is getting worse and worse.

 

my budget is around 100 euro's for a new headset, i was thinking about getting me a razer kraken 7.1 headset since they are good reviewed and have a decent price.

Logitech has some good headphones, I would buy a good pair of headphones and a good mic seperately, headphone mics can be iffy

My article on subscription based services and why they are the way forward http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/382625-what-the-future-holds/

I have the Kraken 7.1 and I love them, at first I thought I would have to take them back because I took them out of the box and I put them on and every 2 minutes I would have to take them off because they were so tight! They sound great and the mic quality is good. The only thing I have a problem with is the cable, you can hear everything when it rubs on your shirt or something.

If you're going to buy any headset, the best ones for the money are either the Plantronics Rig, or the HyperX Cloud.

You get used to if after a while, at first it's VERY annoying, but if you get annoyed by sounds a lot then it might not be for you.
