Headphones

Mon Aug 30, 2004 3:37 pm

My current set of headphones are dying, and I was curious as to some recommendations of what you guys use.

I'd like to have a boom mic attached to the headphones as my current one has it and I like it a lot.

Let me know.

Thanks

Plantronics .audio 90's. I reccomend them to everyone who asks, and everyone who bought them has loved them. PERFECT for gaming, very comfortable, great lows, mids and highs. The microphone is fantastic.

Also has inline volume control, and a microphone muter inline. I'm on my 3rd pair so far, and I will probably continute to buy them until they are completely discontinued.

Sennheiser PC150. I cannot recommend them enogh. Everyone who uses them loves them and thanks me for the recommendation.

I owned Plantronics .90 and the Sennheiser blow them away!

This is the 3rd pair i've had, yea, but its in a span of 3 years. I get them for free when they die anyway.. gg warranties!

PWNT!

I also have a pair of the audio 90s, and have nothing but good things to say about them... I also hear good things about the sennheisers, which were originally like $150 when they came out... would probably get them if I needed another set...

BTW DSP 500s are the same as the .90s, except they are USB... this uses your CPU instead of your soundcard, so I would NOT recommend them for gaming
