Gaming Headsets

[mack]

Now that my sound card is working, I'm ready for a new headset. Here is what I am looking towards:
Newegg.com - Turtle Beach Ear Force AK-R8 3.5mm/ USB Circumaural Professional Surround Sound Gaming Headphone System
Newegg.com - TekNmotion TM-PSX100A 3.5mm/ USB Circumaural Pulsewave / Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphone
Newegg.com - TRITTON AX360 Coaxial & Fiber Optic Circumaural True 5.1 Digital Audio Gaming Headset
Newegg.com - TRITTON AXPro True 5.1 Gaming Headphones with 8 Precision Speakers, Removable Microphone, Dolby Digital Certified

I won't be using USB, but the turtle beach has a lot of bad reviews so I may not go with them at all. They look like they would be good though :-\ I don't really want to spend over $100, but I can

I would recommend some good headphones like Sennheiser HD555, Goldring DR100 or DR150, or something similar....and a clip-on or desktop mic.

Vastly superior to any "gaming" headset.

Sennheiser do their own gaming headphones these days, i guarantee there vastly superior to companies like razer, logitech and other such brands.

Yea, I am kinda looking towards the Sennheiser brand. I have a pair of them, "SK Gaming" but they broke and they are glued together. I just want a nice headset that's comfy and has good positional audio.

Well, Sennheisers headphones are likely to be Stereo. However, with a good soundcard like the Creative X-Fi, they will faithfully reproduce positon audio.

It's not all about direction audio, it's a common misconception. I played better with no virtual directional audio and some Hi-Fi Sennheiser HD650 cans, why ? because i could here insaine amounts of detail. Footsteps from afar, it was incredible. Cheep gaming headsets don't deliver that.

But as i say, some sennheiser cans with a Creative soundcard with CMSS3D enabled (headphone virtual surround sound) will impress you i beleive.

I've owned the TekNmotion headset. Don't waste your money.
