Best gaming headset?

[idontknow]

Ok well I have my sony headphones here, mdr-v700, but I want a really nice set of headphones that are a bit lighter that have a mic on them.

They will be used for gaming and movies and music and whatnot on my comp only, however, my onboard sound is kinda ****ty on the msi k8n neo2 platinum.

What would the best choice be for headphones?

I was doing some reading and I'm thinking about going with the plantronics dsp-500's?

Anyone have any opinions on them if you own them?

personally i love my zalman 5.1 headphones they r great and work just fine. sure they are nowhere near speaker quality such as a 5.1 logitech z680 setup but they r really cheap and worth it imo for games and dvds and the like

i thought the sennhieser pc155 usb were known to be the best, pro gamers use them, or so i heard. Anyway ive only just ordered some about a hour ago so ill keep ya posted.

Well I found a local retailer with this headset for a really decent price, so I went ahead and ordered them........ along with 8 120mm fans for both of my dual heatercores

I ordered the Plantronics DSP-500 headset, which is supposedly the best gaming set you can get after reading reviews and researching.

Anyone here own a set, or used a set?

thats a old review m8, honestly the pc155 are the best, unless sumin new has come out in the last 6 months, which was the last time i looked, also, how much were they, ive never used any b4 so i cant comment on how gd they are. I may be wrong tho, either way, both headsets will be very gd quality.

ah o well, I like the ease of the plantronics, if anything goes wrong, just take em back to my local pc store and get a new pair free

I have the Plantronics DSP-500 and they are great for gaming, very comfortable and with the built in microphone and volume adjust w/mute inline it is very handy. You must definitely have front USB ports for them though.

They have very good sound reproduction and the bass is very good also.

I just got mine in last night, just in perfect time with HL2......... AMAZING haha now back to HL2

[unclutchable]

Sennheiser PC-155. They're expensive though (my cousin paid $106.94 for his), so... if you can't get them, get Plantronics DSP-500s.

edit: oh you already bought one. :P

[idontknow]

yup

sound it ****ing amazing in HL2

[hashi]

Lamberth im using my onboard sound and everything is working just fine but i am getting an audigy2 zs so if i encounter any problems and fix them ill tell u

[idontknow]

i was going to get the klipsh 5.1 ultras, but the one thing is that i wouldnt be able to game late at night like i like to do, would get complaints :P

so i opted for the headphones for now until xmas when ill get my 42in lcd tv then HL2 should be fun

i was at besy buy a couple of days ago and I heard both the klipsch 5.1 and logitect z5300e side by side. You might not believe this, but the logitect sounded so much better. And the logitect cost less too. dont waste your money on klipsch! from what i have heard, the z-5500 from logitect are really good and still less then klipsch. Let me say it again, "don't waste your money on Klipsch!."
