Any suggestions? My trusty old speedlinks broke at the weekend - a physical break in the plastic just above the ear so it flops half on and half off my ear, not very comfortable. My budget could stretch to £100 if it was worth it. I'm quite interested in these new USB soundcard built in type of phones as my sound card is nothing to write home about - just the one built in to my Mobo. A mic is essential natch.

by the way if you use 3.5mm or usb won't really make much difference as soundcards aren't going to be amazing in a usb headphone either, only difference is adds "surround" but good stereo headphones can have exceptional sound stage anyway and you only have two "actual" speakers, not 7 and a subwoofer!

Plantronics GameCom 788 USB PC/Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LNJZTTY/ ... hvb0S0P4PD

Half price last time i asked on here about headsets i was recomended plantronic i know gav swears by them never used them myself

Glad you brought this subject up Mudster as my Headphones are on their last legs too!!

I have the Plantronics headphones which Gav recommended and I have to admit that they have served me very well for about 4/5 yrs. They are very comfortable and are decent for the price.
My wiring has become loose and so I have lost partial sound on the left headphone and mic not always working now

I was looking at replacing them with a wireless set such as the logitech G930 which you can pick up on amazon for around £80

I don't have a good mic so for 22 quid even the Plantronics GameCom 388 look very tempting

OK - I went with these in the end:

I went for gunmetal - the screaming red would not go with my hair.

I take it you did not buy it based on the sales video up on the amazon site.

FUCK ME

Those are almost the same that I have, only rebranded! Works excellent!

Let me know how those work out for you Muddy - I'm looking for new ones soon

Well I can say so far I'm impressed by the packaging! Very comfy on the ears and blocks out more extraneous noise than my old ones. Was a doddle to install - just plugged em in.

whoah there tiger, don't confuse me with your techno mumbo-jumbo.

I'll see what you say after a Friday nights gaming (assuming CS behaves enough for a thorough testing)
