Well tonight we got the cops called on us at our new place because of the sound (BF2 and the system below in my sig)

So it looks like I will need a good headset. Any ideas?

A good headset for a decent price are these Plantronic audio 90s

More expensive but GREAT sound are any one on from this company.

I'd go with one of the following:

Sennheiser PC130
Sennheiser PC150

Are you wanting just headphones, or are you looking to also have a mic on the headset for the games??

I have a mic mounted by my monitor so it isn't neccessary but if it doesn't cost any extra to have one on the headset then I will just replace it.

I have the 150's the HIho linked. I like them a lot. If I were to get new ones tho I would go for some that have 5.1 directional sound. Prolly will be hella expensive tho.

Turbo91Bird · 07-21-2005, 01:34 PM

Yeah. The Medusa 5.1's are like 95 shipped on ebay. Those are some pricey headphones.

Hi Ho · 07-21-2005, 01:46 PM

If you don't need a headset with a mic there are plain headphones that will work great.

Sennheiser HD201
Sennheiser HD497
Sennheiser HD465
Sennheiser HD485
Sennheiser RS120 - Wireless (I have these and absolutely love them)
And if you really want to get fancy, the Sennheiser HD595.

These look awesome and from what I have read are awesome http://www.eenid.us/e2c.html.

I will also recommend Sennheisers, any model. The sound is amazingly neutral and they can go very loud if you like being deaf.

Turbo91Bird · 07-22-2005, 07:41 AM

I heard great things about those Medusa 5.1's. Tom's hardware gave them a great review over the Sennheisers.

Turbo91Bird · 07-22-2005, 02:23 PM

Yeah I went ahead and ordered those Medusa 5.1's. We will see how great they are.

Hi Ho · 07-22-2005, 02:29 PM

You should be happy with them. I've never heard of those before. Anyway, the Sennheiser HD models are much better than the PC models that they tested in the review.
