Kelso 4 Posted December 14, 2008 I'm getting a headset for Christmas, I've been looking at reviews and whatnot and I seriously can't decide. I'm looking for something that is durable (i dont want anything falling off within the first week), and just as importantly, a good mic. That's the entire reason I'm getting a new headset, so I can have an actual microphone. Sound is pretty important too, but I don't need anything spectacular.

Pinoy 0 Posted December 14, 2008 I would honestly just go to newegg.com, and look at customer reviews on headsets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B'laz.e 10 Posted December 15, 2008 I went with the Razor Barracuda, 130$ buts its very nice. It has "Surround Sound" And its not one of the shitty small headsets its on the bulkier side so it wont break easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Øpiate 30 Posted December 15, 2008 I have turtle beach headphones and I love them. Full 5.1, an equalizer built into the cord dongle and the cables are all split so you can keep your surround sound hooked up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
