Pachyderp Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I buried my headphones over the weekend after player a lot of cs. Before I go out and buy a new set I'm curious what headphones players on the OSG server use and would recommend. Preferably ones that have a microphone since I lost the ability to use voice chat.

Gln Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Depends on what you want to spend. I recently changed to using my webcam microphone for my microphone and a wireless headset for listening. Almost always my mic would break on my headphones but the speakers would be fine. Here are mine [url="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-wxawFad3NOI/p_158MDRF925/Sony-MDR-RF925RK.html"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-wxawFad3NOI/p_158MDRF925/Sony-MDR-RF925RK.html[/url] [attachment=11:x158MDRF925.jpeg] Since you would like to have a speaker/microphone combo I would go with one of these.

Puss in Boots Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Creative Draco for me. Had to buy a new one after my kitten chewed through my Plantronics GameCOM...and I have a Logitech mouse after she chewed through my Razer Copperhead. ERRRGH.

Pachyderp Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Compared to my last set I cant complain. Great sound and microphone works. Could use a bit more padding but if that becomes an issue I might have to upgrade later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npk Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 currently i am using these : [url="http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/tactic3d/sigma/"]http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/tactic3d/sigma/[/url] won em from a esea.net contest a while back, but for the 70-80$ retail i would def. recommend them the flat cable makes it easy to route around the desk, doesn't tangle, and the removable microphone is convenient, not to mention comfy, and great sound "Your training will tell you that when the adrenaline kicks in you should compensate, but part of you is not gonna believe the training because this kill is personal.

Good reviews and great sound... Doesn't have a mic. I actually had some really nice mics in the past but they all somehow broke\stopped working... So I just reverted back to using my microphone that is LITERALLY from the mid to late 90's. It's SO old. It was made before they invented USB. Literally. lol. But I have sat on it, bent it, spilled stuff over it, etc etc etc... They just don't make them like they used too.

Walking-Decoy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 lol, why do you think I like it so much? You see how long it is! jk.. yeah, it would fall off the desk into the chair, or etc. Don't ask me how or why I sit on my mics, but I broke 2 nice $40 USB ones doing that exact thing.

npk Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 i had that same mic when we got our first p1 300mhz from HP MMAAAAAANY years ago "Your training will tell you that when the adrenaline kicks in you should compensate, but part of you is not gonna believe the training because this kill is personal.

Walking-Decoy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, I'm telling ya.. It's OLD. I'm guessing it's gotta be somewhere in the 15-17 year old range. Nuts. Chaaaaaarrrrrrrgeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have planetronics gamecom headset, It's good but it's starting to fall apart a bit. Logitech makes shitty headsets, there is a reason you got a good deal on. Having a higher end headset can make a huge difference in your gaming ability. I can hear footsteps from very far away and I can tell which direction they are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasTrouble Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I use these headphones: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips---O%27Neill-Stretch-Headband-Headphones---Black/2051238.p?id=1218307633908&skuId=2051238 I have one of those sick ASUS Republic of Gamers laptops so my microphone is intergrated in the monitor. I can slip on the Phillips headphones and talk quietly in a near silent library and am received quite well. Bose sells a set of really awesome headphones that are just about $150. That's not much more expensive than the leading Turtle Beach brand. http://www.amazon.com/Bose-47684-Bose%C2%AEAE2-audio-headphones/dp/B00478O0JI These are great headphones that I've used. However if you're looking for headphone/microphone combo I've never been disappointed with Turtle Beach products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're reliable, and sound pretty good. For xbox I have more expensive turtle beach headsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinBo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I use a pair called Sound Blaster Wraths. They are awesome, I remember when I first got them I could feel the bass in my chest. They are wireless and do have some great distance. The battery life on them is great as well, I would highly recommend them.

CousinBo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I forgot to mention you can also pull the mic out so they can be used as headphones. These can also go into consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohda Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I still have the headphone part of some Sennheiser PC151s I used for years. The tip of the mic got snapped off a few years back. I used some logitechs and cheapo this-and-thats for a while. Right now I'm just blaring everything on speakers and using the built-in webcam mic on my laptop. Sennheiser's are the bomb diggity though, get some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Clipz Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Audio Technica a500. Got them like 6 years ago still going strong. http://www.musicarch.net/audio-technica-ath-a500-headphones/ Doesn't have a mic with it so a cheap zalman clip on mic on the cord is how I get the job done. Both have lasted a loooong time. http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECLIPSE1 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 [sup][size=4]If you can afford it use the Razer Megalodon Headset. It gets the job done for me.

Maybe i should switch them out and save the Razer lol.[/size][/sup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
