So, as my birthday is coming up soon, I started looking around for headsets.
So, being a fan of expensive items, I decided to visit the Razerzone, they seem to have a new line of gear for starcraft fans, the banshee the spectre and the marauder.
The headphones were priced around $120, but that's not an issue because you can't get them over here in europe anyways, so all the sc2 gear kinda dropped out of my list.
So then I decided to check the eu.razerzone, I looked around the items, headsets, and my options were basically the razer Megalodon, and the Charcharias, first thing I noticed were, of course, the prices, where in the US the Charcharias would cost $80 with free shipping, they cost 85 euro (including shipment costs) in europe. It's like that with all items, apart from when they exceed the 100 euro mark, then you suddenly get the oh so special free shipping deal, i am impressed.
Well, ehm, what i wanted to ask you guys is, what are your recommendations for 'Good' headphones within the 60-150 euro price tag, preferably something comfortable with good sound quality, i don't really think it's as important as the rest but, the microphone needs to be reasonable too.
I'll accept and research any suggestion, this includes Sennheiser steelseries logitech, but also any underdog brand you may have experiences with.
as being a bit of an audiophile you cant beat my hdj-1000s. but ive been mxining trance for over 10 years, and those phone hurt my ears after a few hours. ive got a bigger head than most people as im 6'5 so that could all be working against me. but my personal recomendation for gaming, screw the sound quality (i mean dont get garbage) but just go for comfort. and screw the wireless, sure its cool, and its nice neough to always have a pack of batteries around, but those few tiems when they run out at bad tiems, or you run out of batteries, its just not worth it imo. so id get some nice big headphone that completely enclose AROUND your ear and not ON your ear as that can hurt after a while (at least to me). some of the best comfort wise headphone ive had were some off the wall radio-shack ones that were just the most comfortable things ive ever put on. then my pet ate the cord and i tossed them as they were old. but still to this date, ive never had a pair of phone that were that comfortable.
i did try to go the bluetooth route about 2 years ago for gaming. im not a fan of it for gaming, but i thought they would be comfortable, but they just didnt work for me. Im not being the most helpful but hopefully youll take my advice and try a few pairs on before just ordering the best sound quality ones that will end up making your ears feel raw / bruised after so long. but thats only if youre putting some major hours under them as i am. :)
Thanks, im thinking either logitech or razer, and yea i do value comfort high.
I heard some great things about the carcharias, i don't really need that ultra long cable though, im sure I can make some adjustments to my workspace to account for the sheer length of it.
Oh and btw, I do somehow manage to break all my stuff without even raging at them or anything, does anyone have any good tips for keeping mice and other equipment... well... keeping them a whole? in the past 3 months i've broken 3 eaphones and 2 headphones (they were however, very cheap)

Steelseries Siberia headset never goes wrong!
