New headset

[albx]

I'm asking a suggestion for a new headset, also for the incoming SOW that with the binaural sound I'm sure will ROCK!! I have seen those http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gamin...d/ROCCAT-Kave/ i don't have any experience with headsets cause i always enjoyed my 5.1 speakers, but can't flight in the evening because it's too loud . please guys give me your suggestion.... thanks.

I strongly recommend that you read this guide if you're looking into getting the best audio quality from your cans:

In short:

• avoid USB headsets
• avoid 5.1 headsets
• avoid anything with mic attached

i already considered not buying a USB, so people here use a stereo headset or not at all? I thought a 5.1 was good for a full immersion...

5.1 is on occasions better for positional sound, like when you play FPS games but nothing else. I bet most people don't even know what they are missing with headsets, when compared to a decent set of headphones.

The only headset I can recommend is MEDUSA NX 5.1, or if you have money to throw around and you don't need 5.1 go with the overpriced Sennheiser PC 360.

Since Oleg showed us how SoW will feature binaural sound, I would go with the stereo headset.

I think I'll buy a Medusa NX 5.1, I found many positive reviews, and at 50€ shipped I think it's a good price. I don't need it to listen music, just a comfortable headset, to play and enjoy the 5.1.

I have just bought a Logitech G930 headset.
Truth is:it's wireless,Wi-fi,5.1,has a mic built-in,(noise-cancelling),and it's sound really great.
Just google it, you will see that what people are saying in this article about headset it's not true everytime.
What truly makes difference it's engineering quality ,that's all.

S!

Using Creative Fatal1ty headset, the jacked version not USB. Quite nicely fills my gaming needs. Sure could buy a better one, but far more important is to upgrade joystick.

I've been using a Medusa 5.1 headset for about 3 years now.

I prefer my 5.1 speakers usually but you have to consider the neighbours at times, and I have found this headset to be a good alternative.
The only thing with the Medusa is that it comes with its own amplifier, so that's another power supply you need a socket for.

Having seen, or should I say heard about the binaurel sound in the latest update I may well be using the headset a lot more when SOW is released.
Probably would please the neighbours as well.
